Fog Free - Yes! Suction - Not Really
Overall this is a decent product and the best feature is the fact that it's fog free. Once you find a surface that it will stick to, the suction is good and long lasting. The neck of it works well to help you place it just where you want it for shaving, stimulating or sex. Use it for the obvious and for the more adventurous, it can work for you.Published: June 19, 2011
Pros:
Fog free, easy to manipulate
Cons:
Doesn't suction to all smooth surfaces
This product can be used for many things in the bathroom, but the most obvious is shaving both for men and women. The suction cup is designed to stay on any smooth surface and remain fog free. It is also designed with an adjustable neck to bend the mirror at any angle and is removable from the suction cup for storage if needed. The neck can be adjusted in another fashion by inserting it into the suction cup either from the side or from the top. (On the box, "The stem can be placed in the suction cup in multiple directions.")
There are no instructions, but it is fairly simple to use, so no real directions are needed. There is a plastic film on the mirror to protect it until it is in the user's hands, and you simply peel this off the mirror (it is like the protective film on many cell phone faces or digital devices).
The whole thing is made of plastic from what I can tell. Although the mirror looks like glass, I am not sure that it is because the mirror is flexible and can bend a little when you push hard on it. Glass doesn't have that kind of flexibility. The plastic containing the mirror is very sturdy and I will comment that as many times as mine fell on the floor, this sucker hasn't broken or even gotten any nicks in it, again suggesting that this is not made of glass (but I cannot find any verification anywhere of the exact mirror contents).
The mirror itself is a 5 in diameter circle encased in a plastic holder that is attached to a 12 inch long adjustable neck. The neck end is about 1 inch long that can be inserted into the 3 in diameter circle suction cup either sideways or from the top of the cup. This gives it the versatility to bend at any angle you need it to be. Very handy!
It comes in a cardboard box that has the basic information on it. While this product is simple and not necessarily sexual, the box is not discreet that this product can used for simple shaving or voyeurism. You can use the box for storage, but there is really no need to as you can have it remain stuck to the wall or tub or simply put it under the sink. Alone, it will not scream, "Look at me! I'm having sex in the shower."
I got this because I wanted to be able to use it in various places around my shower area. I should explain that my shower is an open tile shower. It also has a triangular seat in one corner that is also built out of tile. I am explaining this because it's the reason why this product did not work well for me. See experience below.

Experience
The tile that we have in our shower is fairly smooth. It has a very slight texture to it, but I have not had any problems with suction to the tile until this product. I am not sure if the weight of the mirror at the end of it was the cause or not, but the mirror is not that heavy, so I didn't expect this product to have so much trouble. In reference, my sons have played in this shower before and they have little suction cup toys like a basketball hoop that have stuck to this tile so I didn't think the mirror would be problematic.
Unfortunately it was. First I placed the mirror on the side that has the shower head. I started to manipulate it just right and a few seconds later it popped off onto the floor. I thought it might need to be more wet, so I wet it and pushed really hard down on the suction cup to create suction. I was pleased as it sucked on tight and wouldn't budge. Good. So I manipulated it into place and got my razor. Boom, on the floor again. Damn.
So third time, I thought maybe the suction cup needs to be wet while the tile is dry so I placed it on the opposite end on a dry tile. Push, suck, stay, good! Started to shave, boom, on the floor. Tried to manipulate the mirror so that it isn't sticking out so much thinking the weight was pulling it down. Boom, floor. Now I'm frustrated. I look at the bench and think, "Okay. If I stick it to the bench it won't be pulling down from a vertical position." So I did that with the mirror sticking straight up. A minute later, boom, floor, damn.
I am fed up. I now try to see why the heck the suction is not working. I stick it to the wall again and watch very carefully. While the suction seems to be fully stuck and there are no gaps, I begin to slowly see little bubble trails along the edges letting air in. Now the weird thing is that along the whole outer edge there are no leaks, but clearly in the middle of the suction cup air is getting in. Next thing I know the bubble in the middle of the suction is getting bigger and then the seal breaks and boom, on the floor again.
Now what? Well, we designed our shower to be right next to our Jacuzzi tub and so there is a short wall connecting the shower area directly to the tub which is smooth sealed fiberglass. Stick it to the tub. No air bubbles, no rivers of air flowing in, tight suction and it stays. Hooray! Sort of. I can manipulate the mirror and put one foot up to see where I am shaving. It works, but not in the shower, only on the tub.

Sex in the Shower Shaving Mirror - Suction Cup Help Needed
-
My bathtub/shower does not have a smooth surface, so suction cups will not stick to the wall. I have tried putting a large square of smooth tape on the tub wall, but that doesn't help. I rent, so I can't do anything to make the wall smoother. Any ideas?
-
What about the shower floor? I have put mine on the shower floor and ran enough bath water to rinse the razor in, sat down, then I just bent it until I was able to see what I was doing.
-
Nope, it is the same raised texture as the wall, unfortunately. I can't even put a mat in the bottom. It won't hold.

Really? Discontinued Already?!

This has been here for what, a month? It wasn't available most of the time and now it is gone? Was this one of the test products that didn't make it? If so, why?! I was going to order this next, I knew I should have got it last week :(
