Bath tray for bath with no lip

April 17, 2019 12:12 PM

Last year I got my sister a bath tray for relaxing in the bath with a wine glass, book, etc. I then discovered that her bath is built right against the wall with no inner lip, so she can’t use it. Is there a similar, clever product for a bath without an inner lip? The tray I originally bought was this one. (Don’t as me why they’re eating almonds out of an egg cup...)

Like it says above the cut. Help me make up for my birthday fail!!

Not as nice as your first pick: Floating Book/Tablet Caddy for Bath, Pool, and Hot Tub

Best answer: I initially went looking for a bathtub tray with suction cups on one side. That doesn’t seem to be a thing that exists, although you could probably attach some suction cups to an existing one. But I was looking at the pictures and had an alternate thought. You could get some command hooks and attach them to the wall where you want the tray to rest. Then she could use the one you already gave her.

Response by poster: I like that idea! I also went searching for a tray with suction cups (though in my experience, that would be a bit annoying for getting in/out) but the command hooks is an improvement.

If you search for a shower caddy with suction cups you might find something that works. You might have to retrofit with a bit of wood or plastic in the bottom to give the wine glass a level resting place.

IME, I wouldn't trust suction cups with anything you didn't want releasing off of the tub wall at the most inconvenient time. Go with the command hooks.

Would something like this work?
