does your shower have a top rail/screen of some kind? I don't have a shower in my rig but at home I use a 3 basket suction cup shampoo holder that has two hooks that hang over the shower screen, this helps with the weight of the products. I got it for 10bucks from one of those cheap shops after I too had got sick...
