This, is perhaps, one of the best items I've ever gotten for my shower. Sex aside, it's made shaving so much easier! The platform to put your foot on with the Suction Cup Foot Rest is a lot larger than most showers have available, so that makes your foot a lot more secure, and also makes the inevitable shifting of position easier. By that same token, it will make fooling around in the shower easier as well!

However, I would recommend really making sure you're aware of it if/while you're fooling around. It will release in spectacular fashion if too much weight is put on it.

It's made out of thick, white plastic. It's quite waterproof, with no pieces of it that would be adversely affected by water. I'd say it could be used underwater, but I think that it'd be too much water and would greatly hinder the suction-ability of the foot rest.

Storage wise, you could either keep it as a regular fixture in your shower (though I'd test the suction before each use) or just put it in a cupboard. Unless you have large drawers, this is too big to fit in a bathroom drawer.

It's very well made with all pieces being smooth and round. There's no sharp parts you could get cut on. However, there is a lever on the back (or you could say under the foot rest part) that causes the suction. It is very, very tight. If you get your finger caught in that I see some damage done to your digit. The snapping is quite loud as well, if sound levels are an issue.

The Suction Cup Foot Rest is very easy to use. It works best when both the suction cup and the wall of your shower have been wet down. You want to make sure that the part of your shower you are putting it on is 100% level. If there are any dips or anything it will reduce the suction and could cause failure.

There is a little give between the suction cup and foot rest part, which is nice as you're able to see how much pressure you're putting on the foot rest. This is a big help 'cuz you will know if you need to let up on it. It can take quite a lot of pressure, but it is not something you could put your body weight on.

This is not something that will aid in balance. However, it will give you other options for places to put your foot if you're shaving or playing in the shower. Also, as you're able to put this higher than a lot of ledges in showers, it really aids in rear entry!

The package was a standard cardboard box. It's not something I keep around.

As it's plastic, it's quite durable; however, it could chip if it's really being tossed around so if that's the case, make sure there's no scratches or chips as that could really be danger. Also, being plastic it's really easy to clean; water and soap. For storing I just keep it in the cupboard in my bathroom. It's too large for any of the drawers.
