Vive Bathtub Rail - Bathroom Tub Safety Rail Heavy Duty for Seniors, Elderly, Handicap and Disabled - Clamp Railing Bath Support - Adjustable Shower Hand Grip - Handle Assist Grab Bar - Fits Most Tubs

Bought this for my 84 year old mother the end of 2020 and just this week, 7/2025, she called me to say it is feeling a little loose and wants me to check it. It has served her well this 4.5 years and I'm sure it will be an easy fix to tighten it when I get over there. She has had a lot of confidence getting in and out of her standard tub to shower all this time. She is 5'7" (was 5'9") and about 170 lbs maybe more. Still independent at 88 with the little things that help with her safety!

My husband sometimes has trouble with balance. Our shower/tub is situated in the bathroom in such a way that there is no wall to hold onto when you step into the tub. So there was no place to affix a grab bar. I was pleasantly surprised to see this product that you attach to the tub. It worked well. We had it for 3 or 4 years. The silver screw did get rusty, but the product still held firmly onto the tub. We ended up selling that house, so I had to remove it. I was able to remove it myself. I recommend this product.

The rail works very well, but as other reviewers have stated, you do have to keep tightening it. That seems reasonable, considering it's a clamp-on rail, but it would be bad if someone forgot to tighten it and had a slip because the rail slipped while they were using it. I'm glad to have mine, but I'm also conscientious about checking it before getting into the tub. Also, don't use it with soapy hands: the metal is smooth and you won't be able to grip it properly. On the plus side, it is very strong and sturdy and I love the fact that it has two gripping levels. It's a great idea for someone who is temporarily incapacitated, since it's easy to remove when it's no longer needed. I'd buy it again if I needed another temporary gripping rail.

I liked that I could install or remove the Safety Rail in seconds. The rail is very secure and stable upon installation, even when it is being used by the Big & Tall and Accident Prone. It also requires no tools to install, just a bit of upper body strength in order to close the lever that attaches the safety rail to the upper part of the tub. Well worth the shekels to gain safe entry and egress from a slippery bath tub. It also assists setting down and rising from the toilet, depending upon how your bath tub is situated with the toilet. In my case it worked out very well. One hand on the counter and the other hand on the safety rail. JSJ

This item did not securely fit on bathtub side after winding it many times.

This item slips a lot. It does not stay secure to the tub. it seems to me that the bar should be angled differently. The pad does not stay in place and it is really not useful to me at all. It is sturdy but it does not tighten well and comes loose.

This is the second one I have ordered I'm not sure I ordered it from the same place but they are essential in my everyday caregiving for my 92 year old mother in law. I have a shower chair for her and then two of these on either side so she can lean on these to get in and out of the tub instead of trying to lean on the shower chair which can move. I would highly recommend them to anyone with any disabilities or that has problems getting in and out of the bathtub. They are stable and last a long time. The only one thing I noticed is that I needed to cover the bolts on the back side so she couldn't scrape herself by accident. And I did that just by covering it with a thick Bandaid. I use one now in my bathtub and as I have MS and it's hard to get up from a bathtub and you cannot count on towel holder's or anything else that hasn't been secured to the wall into the studs. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product at a good price. Peace and blessings to all Susan Pokorny

I ordered two of these handles and we've only had these for about a week now but I feel confident in giving this review. These handles are made with excellent materials and are built with quality. They are designed in a way that makes them very easy to install and remove. This is helpful for when cleaning the tub or if you'd like to relocate where they are mounted. At first I was worried that they weren't tall enough but after seeing them installed, they are a perfect height.Their design is primarily to withstand downward force giving you something to lean on. For instance, if you need help with balance or if you have problems where you have trouble supporting your body weight, these will work well for you. If you need something to help get you up on your feet, you'd be better off with a wall mounted handle.
