bath toys

Dd has a vast collection of bath toys, I'd like to ensure they drain properly after each bath. At the moment they just stay in the bath but I was trying to source some sort of net or basket. Amazon has several but they seem to have poor reviews, mostly due to them falling off the wall. Can anyone suggest a good solution? We are in rental currently so no drilling!

I have a plastic veg basket which is cross cross plastic sides and bottom so I keep it in the bath and the water in the toys drains out.
No idea where it came from sorry!!

I just got a net bag with suction cups (linked net bag over the suction cups with loops) from the poundland and yes the frogs suction cups kept loosing suction once the net bag was loaded up, in the end I just looped the net bag strings over the tap - works fine - and DD just plays with the frogs!

I had a net with suction pads, came from ELC, but then my DDs didn't ave what I considered loads. The vet asset sounds like a good idea.

The net bags with suckers fall off the wall when there's limescale present. Our bag tends to hang on with one sucker, the other being within the splash range from the shower, so where water has dried on the wall. So long as you keep the 2 tiles you want to stick it to clean, there shouldn't be a problem with them falling off. You do have to watch out for overloading though, as this also makes them fall off. If your Dd has loads of bath toys, she may need two of them.

Many thanks to everyone, the bath is also the only shower so will look for something that can easily be hung out of the way!

We used a bath bucket. If your bath is also a shower, you can store it out of the way next to the bath. The nets don't stay in place when full.

And it's great for scooping up the toys from the bath water using the inner bucket. Actually DCs preferred just playing with this part like a sieve/shower in the bath so I could gradually get rid of the plastic tat bath toys.
