10 Life-Changing Bathroom Things You Didn’t Know You Needed
1. TubShroom Drain Protector
If you’re tired of unclogging your tub every week, then the TubShroom drain protectors might be right for you. When it’s time to clean up, pull it out of the drain, wipe off the hair, and replace it. May all your baths be on purpose!

2. Pani Smart Water Monitor
Keep track of and help reduce your water usage with this smart water monitor that can attach to any fixture in your bathroom, like your shower head or toilet, connect via Wifi, and report data you can view in the app. It measures water usage in real-time, and when connected to a toilet can even detect leaks.
PRO TIP: Unknown bathroom leaks can harm the environment and put a strain on your water bill. Detect them early to save money and lower your carbon footprint.
Glowing Review: “We’ve done a lot of research on smart water devices before trying out Pani. They did not disappoint. Other smart water gadgets all talk about real-time water monitoring, but what I like most about Pani is how it gave me specific coaching tips on how to conserve based on how I actually use water. Highly recommend to my friends.” — Ken
3. iDesign York Metal Wire Hanging Shower Caddy
This tiered shower caddy creates available storage where there once was just a wall. House your soap, shampoo, and even a few razors with this help of this sleek-looking accessory.
PRO TIP: These types of shower caddies are approved to use on resurfaced tubs. Unlike the caddies held up by a tension rod, this hanging caddy does not damage the coating.
Glowing Review: “I bought the white plastic caddy in the hopes that I wouldn’t have to deal with rust. Two years later, it is still in great condition. I can see the slightest hint of rust in the corners where the pieces join, but it is barely noticeable and the unit is still in awesome condition.” — DW
4. KES Swivel Towel Bar
Save space with this heavy-duty, swiveling, wall-mounted towel bar. With a space for every member of your family, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. It even comes in 4 different colors to match any bathroom.
Promising Review: “So far this has far exceeded my expectations. We have a wall that can’t hold a traditional towel rack because the stud is in the middle of the wall the other two are too far apart. While the poles that hold the towels are a bit short, any longer and I don’t think it would be so sturdy, and it is very sturdy as it is. Not cheap at all. I would recommend this product!” — LB MCA
5. HOMFA Bamboo Bathtub Tray
You’ll never want to leave your bathtub because this elegant and spacious bamboo tray can hold it all! Wine glass, tablet, cell-phone, and lots more! Never worry about dropping your phone in the water ever again.
Promising Review: “I use all caps for emphasis!! I was so nervous it would not be secure or fit everything because of my apartments old tub situation but it did and there is no chance of anything falling! As you can see in the photo, I put my ipad, glass of wine, usually a snack, and my phone and a glass of water!! It’s amazing I have zero complaints! And it looks cute!” — Benjamin
6. Maytex Quick Dry PEVA Shower Curtain or Liner
This is one of the coolest ways to organize your bathroom. If you don’t want to install an organizer in the shower because it might take up too much space and you keep bumping into it, then getting a shower curtain that has pockets in it is great, because you can put all your shower essentials right there where you can access them and it looks really cool too.
PRO TIP: Leaving shampoo bottles and other items on the ledge of a resurfaced tub can cause the coating the fail. This is a great alternative for people who don’t want to use a shower caddy.
Promising Review: “I LOVE this shower curtain. I have been buying this curtain for the past 6 years. If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your “stuff”, this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! I honestly only use like 4-5 of the pockets. You can also use this as a liner and have another more decorative shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain. I usually change it every 6 months because it does start getting a little soap scummy on the bottom. The best shower curtain/liner money can buy!” — DAtkins
7. Rolling Tube Toothpaste Squeezer
Get every once of your toothpaste from your tube using this tiny but handy device. It works best for tubes that are less than 2” wide and is the one thing on this list that makes you wonder how you’ve brushed your teeth this whole time without one.
Promising Review: “When I first saw this item, I was excited to try it because every time I use my toothpaste, I feel like I’m always trying to squeeze the toothpaste out. But with this, it was easy to use and as the picture I posted shows that it stands with the toothpaste and doesn’t topple over. I am very happy with this product.” — Louise Salazar

Promising Review: “Twice I left a bathroom space heater on. Once was for four hours. Never again. Plug this in the wall, plug the space heater into the Simple Touch timer, turn the heater on low, set the thermostat as needed. Done. Next time you need heat, just press the Simple Touch button, and you get 30 minutes of heat. If–or rather when–you forget? Not a problem, as the timer goes off after 30 min and saves the day. Buy it…you’ll LIKE it!.” — Cat Mann

It is very comfortable. It has pockets on each side which I could fit my daughter shampoos, conditioner, a comb, two rolled-up washcloths. It makes it easier to bath my daughter. Sometimes on the right side having a tall big shampoo gets in the way to bathe my daughter I just move the shampoo on the other side is not a big problem for me but I do like this baby bath kneeler a lot.” — jackie orozco
10. mDesign Modern Over The Tank Hanging Toilet Tissue Paper Roll Holder
Save space in your tiny bathroom and never run out of TP with this sleek holder. It holds up to three rolls of toilet paper and it doesn’t sit on the dirty ground. It seems like a no-brainer, store the toilet paper where you need it most, but this thing is innovative!
Promising Review: “Our bathroom is small and we don’t have much storage space. We used to have the pack of six rolls sitting on the floor. Now, we can fit up to four rolls in the holder (half of the top one is in, half is out). It has a chrome finish; we’ve only had it for a few weeks, so I don’t know how the finish will hold up long term in a bathroom’s often damp environment. Otherwise, we’re happy with the purchase and recommend this toilet paper holder..” — Chalaca68
