cavity wall fixings

Just a quick question.
I'm trying to hang a bathroom cabinet and have got some 8mm cavity wall plugs. Drilled the hole, all fits nicely, but doing them up they spin and spin and don't grip their "teeth" into the tiles. Is there anyway to stop it from twiddling round and round?
Cheers.

Thicker screws or thicker plugs.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

Plaster board plugs with expanding wings are readily available. There are fixings for all types of wall. You just have to get the right ones. Have a look in the fixings section of your local DIY shed, there are a huge variety of types. If it's for a bathroom cabinet then I suggest heavy duty plugs.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
