AI pick (brand): Gorilla Grip

A widely used suction-cup tub mat with drain holes and a machine-washable design that is easy to keep free of mildew.

Not for: Tubs with a textured or anti-slip factory floor, where suction cups cannot grip.

Tub surface compatibility: Suction mats need a smooth, glossy tub floor. Textured floors need adhesive treads instead. A mat that can't seal will slide, which is worse than having no mat.
Suction cup density: Cups should cover the whole underside, not just the edges. Sparse cups let the center lift and the mat shift under weight.
Drainage: Drain holes across the mat, with nothing that traps water. Trapped water breeds mold under the mat and makes the surface slick.
Cleaning: Machine-washable, or removed and hung to dry after each use. Biofilm under a mat is the main hygiene problem with this category.
