To expect hooks on shampoo bottles..

Just as much as shower gels??

I've been loving my boots showergel with a hook and have two hooks in my shower, tried to find a nice shampoo with a hook..and it seems impossible...

Surely everyone with a shower washes hair in the shower, right?

So why are all shampoos in hookless bottles..?

TELL ME WHY!!!Angry

My shower has a shelf and the bottles sit on there. No hooks needed!

Clean an empty shower gel bottle and refill with shampoo?

But yes, I agree with you. It would make life easier.

I see your point op. If shower gel gets a hook then why not other stuff.

If your shower doesn't have a shelf, you can buy one of these.

Shower gels come with hooks?! What?

OP get yourself to ikea, they have a whole range of bathrooms shelves that you can attach to the tiles with suction caps. No maid required.

londonrach · 22/01/2017 09:27

Hate bottles with hooks they fall over. Only ever had one or two ever and got rid of them. Silly idea. Never understood shower gel. It just washes away before you can get a nice lather. Nice bar of soap every time.... (goes off point)

PhoenixJasmine · 22/01/2017 09:29

May I suggest a bath, scaryclown, as you sound like you might need to relax Grin and your username is incredibly apt right now

You could go the whole hog and invest in wall-mounted dispensers to put your shower gel/shampoo/conditioner in, and have a totally minimalist shower, then you could buy products in bulk and save packaging and money. Or you could switch to solid shampoo, even greener, and that can sit on the little soap shelf thing attached to most showers. Who uses soap in the shower anyway?

Personally, I have a wire basket on the windowsill where in-use stuff lives along with shower hat, hair ties, bath plug etc. Looks and feels fancy pants but neat and tidy too.

The world would be boring if all bathrooms were the same Smile

Op. this is one of the mn you need to get to be considered a regular. 😜 Cant find a bone...how about a puppy instead 🐶

picklemepopcorn · 22/01/2017 09:39

If the manufacturers see this thread, I don't think they'll be rushing to repackage including hooks.
I've a basket with suction hooks. I'd have to fit more hooks to hang the shampoo.

and londonrach the toft of someone throwing me a puppy in the shower is making me feel very odd and worrying about blocked drains

Soap dispensers make me feel like I'm at a posh health club/hotel, not a care home! Do they have them in care homes?

I feel your pain with not having a bath. I didn't have one for 3 years, the opportunity for a bath was one of the highlights of all visits to friends/family/hotels! It did mean I put a lot of effort into lux-ing my shower though, with a lovely big shelf rack stocked with different flavours of shower gel for different occasions/moods. Could quite take a glass of wine in there though. Sad times.

imnottoofussed · 22/01/2017 09:50

I think everything should have hooks. I have shelves in the shower, they are full of things like hair mask, shaving foam, exfoliator etc. It annoys me that I have to perch my shampoo and conditioner and face wash on the shower controls bit. I got a new body wash in a set over Xmas, it's lovely but doesn't have a hook damn it.

PhoenixJasmine · 22/01/2017 10:01

Maybe we could manufacture universal reusable hooks that can attach to all shapes and sizes of product bottle. There's clearly a gap in the market. We could make millions! Maybe even get on dragon's den.

Bantanddec · 22/01/2017 10:22

Just buy a fucking shelf

What do you hook it on? I have nothing in my shower that I could hook bottles onto.

PinkSwimGoggles · 22/01/2017 10:54

just use the shower gel as shampoo?

Everyone is an exaggeration. I have a walk-in shower and an over the bath shower, but 9 times out of 10 I have a bath because I prefer them - I very much doubt I am the only one Grin
