An adhering element ( 10 ) has a sucker ( 12 ) made of an elastomeric plastic and a connecting element ( 14 ) made of a more rigid plastic. The connecting element ( 14 ), which has a flange border ( 24 ), is connected non-releasably to the sucker ( 12 ) by virtue of the two parts ( 12 ), ( 14 ) being produced preferably by two-component injection moulding. This increases the stability of the adhering element ( 10 ), in particular when the latter is connected to an elongate object, for example a self-supporting toothbrush.
