How do you store items in shower?

So I can’t find what I am looking for, which makes me think they don’t exist.

I need something to store shower gel, shampoo etc in 2 x showers. Nothing that sticks to the walls, I have tried many of them and they fall off. Nothing stainless steel as it rusts, again I have tried many.

I’m imagining a small caddy type thing that is waterproof and maybe has small holes in the bottom for drainage.

Does such a thing exist? What does everyone use? I am tired of kicking over stuff in the shower!!

Home Bargains sell a white plastic shower caddy. You hook it over the vertical riser pipe. I put shower gel and shampoo bottles in it. Very useful.

Like you, I tried several ideas before settling for the plastic, 'Croydex' brand.

They look great! I have a different set up to the picture - I have two pipes coming from the wall, wonder if it would work the same?

Every time I have a shower I wish we'd built a sunken shelf in

It's a walk in with no pipe as it's behind the tiles so nowhere to hang anything. Drives me mad!

These are game changers. Expensive but they are the only thing that works. I have tried countless things over the years and like you say they either rust of fall off the wall. But these honestly are the best £40 I have spent.

Oh @BlackeyedPetitsPois see I really really want to believe you!! I have spent so much money and time on things that crash in the middle of the night!

I have wet wall, not tiles so not sure how they’d work!

BlackeyedPetitsPois · 12/04/2022 22:33

Aaah didn’t realise you did not have tiles!!
Sorry!!

(But they do work - mine have been up for over a year and not fallen off once - even with heavy shampoo bottles etc)

Cantdecidewhere · 12/04/2022 22:34

I have the shower gems too, great on tiled wall. Have them 2yrs now, fully loaded all the time, zero issues.

WeAllHaveWings · 12/04/2022 22:35

We have one of these attached to the shower riser above the shower head. We have had for 6 years and no sign of rust.

Holds 2 decent sized bottles in each side and neat/tidy.

@BlackeyedPetitsPois no need to apologise I should have said!

I see they can be fitted to wet wall though…!

Just got one of the white hook over shower caddy type, I got mine from Wilko. Inoffensive and does the job.

AnastasiaRomanov · 12/04/2022 22:42

I’m looking for one for a corner shower with sliding doors.

ohdrearydrearyme · 12/04/2022 22:43

Maybe look at it another way and don't store those things in the shower?
When we had our bathroom redone a few years back I decided to keep things as simple as possible. So nothing is stored in the shower: it's kept in the bathroom cabinet and taken into the shower before bathing and taken back out when done. Clean up is much easier and I get a little kick out of seeing it empty the rest of the time: like being in a hotel or spa.

You all need a simplehuman shower caddy in your lives - www.simplehuman.co.uk/collections/bath?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3uDa6r-P9wIVgbTtCh0IhQCmEAAYASAAEgJT8PD_BwE easy to fit, adjust, doesn’t rust like the cheaper caddies - tidy shower godsend!

MrOllivander · 12/04/2022 22:48

I have these. Bought sept 2021, stuck to textured mosaic tiles and they haven't budged despite having a lot on them
You can yank them and they don't move!

@Ratsindahouse

I also have one of these in another shower. It’s a bit uglier but has never ever fallen off and there are loads of heavy bottles in it.

To follow on from previous post, This has been in a corner shower for over 3 years and never fallen off the wall despite daily use and having loads in it. Wasn’t expensive so worth a go
LolaLolaLolas · 12/04/2022 22:54

I second what @Whywhywhydelilahlalalalalalala has said. They’re great, fit anywhere, don’t rust and look good.
