12 Tweaks for a Safer Bathing Space
Find the Perfect Bath Safety Products that Help Prevent Slips, Falls & Messes
A safe bathroom is essential for everyone, whether you’re a parent with young children, caring for aging loved ones, or simply trying to prevent slips in the shower. Here are 12 easy ways to make your bathroom safer using simple, affordable, and proven SlipX Solutions® products:
1. Use a Non-Slip Bath Mat in the Tub or Shower
Our large selection of natural rubber, TPE, and vinyl bath mats offer superior traction to help prevent slipping, especially on slick tub or tile surfaces.
2. Add an Anti-Slip Shower Mat for Extra Protection
Use a shower stall mat (like our extra-large or round styles) for complete coverage and confident footing under running water.
3. Install a Suction Balance Bar for Temporary Support
For extra stability, especially when stepping in and out of the tub, our tool-free balance bars provide ergonomic grip and peace of mind.
4. Keep the Bathroom Floor Dry with Splash Guards
Install our clear Shower Splash Guards to hold your curtain liner in place and prevent water from leaking onto the floor.
5. Use an Extra-Long Tub Mat for Full Coverage
For tubs that are longer or shared with kids or pets, our extra-long mats help ensure the whole floor is slip-resistant—no awkward gaps.
6. Prevent Overflow with a Drain Cover
Our Bottomless Bath® cover lets you safely enjoy a deeper soak without worrying about water spilling over the edge.
7. Hang Towels and Razors Securely
Our suction-cup hooks and razor holders keep items off the floor (and away from toes), reducing tripping hazards and clutter.
8. Organize Bath Products to Avoid Reaching or Bending
Use a suction shower basket to keep shampoo and body wash at chest height—no more slippery bottles on the shower floor.
9. Ensure Proper Drainage with Mats Designed to Dry Fast
Mats with built-in drainage holes, like our vinyl and rubber mats, help reduce the risk of mold & mildew and maintain grip by allowing water to flow through.
10. Protect Your Feet with Cushioned Rubber Mats
Try our Cloud or quilted rubber bath mats for anti-fatigue comfort and safety combined—perfect for people with sore feet or those who prefer longer showers.
11. Test Suction Products Regularly
Whether it’s a mat, hook, or basket, suction products should always be checked to ensure a secure seal, especially after cleaning or repositioning.
12. Choose the Right Size Mat for the Job
A mat that’s too small leaves room for slips. Make sure to choose a properly sized mat—our collection includes standard, oversized, and specialty shapes for just the right level of protection.
