## Abstract

A magnetic shower item mounting system includes a magnetic board configured to be installed on a shower wall. The magnetic board has a magnetic section and an installation section. The system can include a magnetic sleeve configured to wrap around a shower item, with the sleeve having a tubular section, a magnetic insert encapsulated by a water resistant grip material with a slip-resistant texture, and the sleeve is adjustable to tighten the tubular section around the shower item. The magnetic insert magnetically attaches the sleeve to the magnetic section of the magnetic board to attach the shower item to the magnetic board.
