The fit guide

Will yours fit? Here's the whole answer.

One spec, one desk-drawer test, and the exact measurements for the cups and cans people actually bring. Every number below is sourced — nothing is guessed.

Container bases 2 to 3 inches across settle in fully. The flexible fins accept slightly wider bases up to 3.15 inches — a snug fit that seats with a push. Under 2 inches sits too loose; over 3.15 doesn't seat.

The 10-second version

The whole fit test happens before you draw the bath.

your cup's base
lands in here
  1. Grab a sticky note. The classic square sticky note is exactly 3 inches on a side — a fact about sticky notes, and also the exact ceiling of what fits.
  2. Stand the glass on it before you draw the bath. Ignore the bowl and the rim — a wine glass or a coupe blooms out well past its narrow foot, and a can's label makes it look wider than the ring it actually stands on. Base only, nothing else, decides it.
  3. Read the note. Base sits inside the square, it fits. Hangs over the edge, too wide. A small puck lost in the middle — under 2 inches — too narrow.

No calipers on the tub deck, no math with wet hands. Just one sticky note, checked before the water's even in, with whatever glass you're actually planning to bring in.

Snug — the fins flex

Just over 3 inches. The flexible fins spread and these seat with a push — calibrated to 3.15 inches by the maker.

Honestly, no

Bases over 3.15 inches don't seat. We'd rather tell you here than in a return.

The handle rule

Classic handled coffee mugs don't fit at any base size — the handle sits exactly where a fin needs to grip. Handle-less mugs and camp cups inside the range are fine. (Tall tumblers with high handles, like the Stanley Quencher, are fine too — their handles sit far above the fins.) Espresso cups sit under the 2-inch floor: too loose.

Where these numbers come from

One line covers it: a container base 2 to 3 inches across settles in and stays. Every verdict below follows from that.
