Ask Ed how he feels about those suction cup grab bars.

What sense does a "light duty grab bar" make? Are they to prevent a "light duty fall"?

I always wondered why they make 12", 18", 24", and 30" towel bars and
not 16" or 32".

Me too. Makes no sense to put them into drywall, when a stud would be
better.I've got those dual bar and it puts a strain on the bar while
repeatedly putting the towel on and taking it off. It loosens from the
wall. When I redo the bathroom there'll be some ply in there between the
studs.

A 2x4 nailed/screwed between the studs would seem to be the right way
to go. Even screwing into the end-grain would work but a pocket hole
would be really simple too.
