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"?

(Here we go again.)

Here we go again. The ideal is a nice bar properly screwed into a stud.
Not everyone can do that.

The suction cup bars hold rather well. Most times, the person using
them to get in or out of the shower only needs something to steady
themselves. A bent nail would work in many cases, People don't just
use them to hold their body weight, just for the added balance and
security.

Before we remodeled the bathrooms we had the fiberglass surrounds and
used the suction cup bars. They did the intended job. Do you have
kids? Remember when they started to walk? They would walk well just
holding your finger, not needing a tight hand grip. Same idea with the
suction cup bars. They can prevent a fall.

If you can screw in bars, do it. If not, the suction cup bars provide
quite a bit of security.
