    i need SOMETHING to organize the bath toys and keep them IN the bathtub. my bathroom is small enough and im OCD about clutter, lol.
    is there anything that you ladies suggest? i had the hammock with the suction cups but it never stayed on the walls, lol. i dont have too much stuff; some ABC letters and some fish.

    don't know what to tell you...i have one of the mesh ones with the suction cups (got it at babies r us) and it's never come down...and we DO have alot of toys in it...maybe you should invest in another one to see if that works?? you could also try a plastic bin for under the sink or in the closet...we do that too!

    We have a wicker lined basket that we store the toys in. We set it on the back of the toilet.

    We experienced the same problem with suction cups in our bathroom. We got the toy organizer from One Step Ahead and it works well.

    I had 2 of these baskets to take all the toys out and let them air dry, they fit perfectly into a metal stand I had beside the tub.

    I also have 2 of the mesh hanger things (I have 4 kids worth of bath toys! :lol:), but I have mirrors over my bathtub that the suction cups stick great to!

    You could also screw hooks into the wall, 2 small ones should work and then they won't fall down.

    Suction cups don't stick well to our bath tub walls either. But I'm a huge fan of command hooks by 3M. Maybe put up 2 of those and hang your toy hammock thingy on those hooks? I currently have our small wicker trash can as well as a lightweight laundry hamper thing on command hooks in our bedroom, because the boys were constantly pulling trash and their dirty clothes out. And I used a command hook to hang a small bungee cord to hold our metal baby gate door open when the babies are asleep. My husband has threated a command hook intervention! :lol:

    Oh, I almost forgot, I bought this toy organizer which works good for our needs. But it doesn't hold very many toys, and depending on the shape/length of your shower "neck" the organizer could slide down.

    Honestly I just put the toys in a plastic grocery bag after their bath. Cheap and easy!

    Santa got the boys this for Christmas last yr Boon Frog Pod I love that I can scoop out the toys in the tub, we don't have a lot either but there are holes for the water left in them to drain AND a spot for all your baby bathing supplies!

    For bath toys, I use a mesh laundry bag (sweater size) so they can drip dry. The bag has two tabs at the top which snap so I just attach it to my faucets while it drains. We also keep a plastic bin under the sink to store misc toys that get dragged into the bathroom.

    i have an old mesh net bag that hangs with the suction cups... I wonder if you just need to clean the wall and the suction cups to get a better grip? good luck. I love the bag thing we have it holds a lot and its flexible.

    I use a shower caddy that I bought at Walmart. It is meant for college students and has holes in the bottom. I had one with the suction cups and it did stay on the tub but, I got mold behind the cups.

    I also have the Boon Frog Pod, it came of the wall once but I just went to the hardware store and purchased more sticky for it and it has not come down again since.
