Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm an author and tend to get some of my best ideas in the shower. Since it's inconvenient to have a normal pad of paper and pen in the shower and dangerous to have anything electronic, these fill the gap perfectly." —NfRtB
Get it from Amazon for $7.75.
A restorative foot scrubber for a deeply satisfying massage (softer inner bristles) and baby-smooth and callus-free tootsies (stiff outer bristles).

It also comes with an anti-mildew retrieval rope and cleansing gel.
Promising review: "I bought this prior to back surgery, knowing I would not be able to bend. It works very well and my feet are happy. The suction cups in the wings are sufficient to keep it from moving and I keep this on the wall hanging from a medium Command hook so it can dry between showers. And when I use it I put the retrieval cord on the hook, so I can easily pick it up. The gel that comes with it seems decent as well. Good buy!" —Mel
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (eight colors) or Jet for $39.95.
A curved shower rod that teaches your curtain how to be less of an asshole, i.e. stop knocking over stuff perched on the edges and sticking to your booty.

Promising review: "This soap smells amazing! I love anything peppermint scented and this did not disappoint. When paired with a cool/cold shower it does actually cool you down AND help you stay cool for at least a couple of hours afterward." —Danielle Wilson

Promising review: "I love it so much that I want to buy one for everyone I know! Get out of your shower/bath and slip into your cozy towel cocoon. It could not be easier to use: plug in the machine, put two bath towels inside, press the 'on' switch, and you have warm, toasty towels in 10 minutes. The machine also keeps towels warm for 20-30 minutes." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $75.99 or a similar model from Amazon or Jet for $99.99.

Promising review: "This showerhead makes showering even more pleasant, especially after a hard day of work and or dealing with the baby! Being able to set your preferred water temp before getting in makes the experience more relaxing too." —Jerry Smith Jr.
Get it from Amazon for $59.95 or a very similar model from Jet for $31.

Promising review: "You can't believe how well this works until you try it. I have been using expensive professional products since 2000: this is the first non-professional product I've ever purchased and I may never go back! First off, my hair smells AMAZING. Secondly, I have thick, sometimes disastrously-curly and -fried hair that is just a lot to deal with: this mask smooths everything out while still giving me awesome volume. Just amazing." —Barrelocarol

Promising review: "We have a walk-in shower and had nowhere to store shower products except for the floor, which just wasn't cutting it, so we bought these storage baskets and are extremely satisfied! It's the perfect amount of storage and I love the holes at the bottom of the baskets for easy cleaning." —CarStar0804

Promising review: "I placed next to the litter box and what a huge difference it makes! It's the best $ spent in a while! If you're concerned about odor in a smaller area like a bathroom or closet, etc., this thing is great!" —wtrgrl
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 or Jet for $17.42. Buy optional scent cartridges here.
Shea butter-infused body lotion you apply IN THE SHOWER — because waiting for sticky lotion to dry afterwards is for amateurs.

Promising review: "I've used in-shower lotions before but it always felt like they didn't actually penetrate into my skin. Not this one! It leaves my skin super soft and has even eliminated my scaly elbows. That's no small feat, as my skin is insanely dry. As a bonus, this one also doesn't leave the bottom of the shower slick. So, smooth skin and no falls. YAY!" —J. Burnett
Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in cocoa butter, radiant silk, and nourishing versions).

A compact waterproof Bluetooth-enabled speaker to help facilitate your favorite part of the day: a no-holding-back karaoke session.

Promising review: "I was sold the second I dropped this speaker in the river, fished it out, and it was still playing music. I have also dropped it in the shower, brushed the soap off, and stuck it back on the wall. It gets loud, easily connects to Bluetooth, and is waterproof. I cannot imagine anything better than this portable speaker." —Viciouslikeme
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (three colors).
A.H.A-formulated body soap to pair with your new scrubbers: it employs papaya and grapefruit extracts to break down dead skin cells, while ginseng extract and oat protein refreshes and soothes.

Promising review: "This product has worked wonderfully, keeping my back shoulders and chest breakout-free. I have been using it for over a year and will continue to do so. It has a light scent that just takes a little getting used to and each bottle lasts me 5+ months." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon, Anthropologie, or Jet for $8+.
A microfiber towel that is long enough to wrap turban-style, way more gentle on your strands (than normal cotton towels), cuts down on drying time, and reduces frizz.

Promising review: "This baby is a total game changer for anyone with bleached hair! I do a double process to get super platinum blonde hair and had been using a t-shirt to dry my hair — I decided to try this and I LOVE IT! Definitely can see a difference after using it and air-drying my hair. My usually frizzy and hard-to-tame hair definitely dries nicer than ever." —Michelle King
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (two colors) or Jet for $22.40.
A soothing AF green tea ~splash mask~ for a facial that will win the hearts of impatient people everywhere: pat a capful of liquid onto your face for as little as 15 seconds (!!!) and rinse off.

Or, if you really want to stretch your green tea dollars, buy a small spray bottle and give yourself a few spritz instead. Or dab the mask onto cotton rounds and gently swipe your face instead of splashing!
Promising review: "This is such a neat way to mask! I use a half capful every day in the shower. I really believe this has hugely reduced my acne marks as nothing else in my skincare changed. I feel like my pores are more cleaned out and skin overall just appears more refreshed." —lala1679
Get it from Sephora for $45.

A detangling wizard — aka the Wet Brush — with incredibly soft and flexible bristles that are godsends for people who wince at the thought of combing through their knotty hair.

Clik here to view.
It can be used on wet ~or~ dry hair!
Promising review: "It's official. I'm a believer. I've heard the rave reviews of the Wet brushes, but I thought it was probably a lot of hype. I have long, super thick hair that's straight but tangles easily. I've dealt with knots for years and just thought that was a part of the deal if I wanted to keep my hair long. Not with this little brush. Four strokes and the knots are G.O.N.E. Seriously, I don't know what kind of magic it performs but it's awesome — it untangles my hair every time, and fast!" —Crystal Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $7.17+ (10 colors) or Jet for $7.50.

An adjustable stool to keep yourself stabilized and make shaving a million times less precarious (and it's very helpful for injuries too, of course).

Promising review: "This was such a necessity for my broken foot/ankle during my freshman year of college! I carted it from my dorm room to the bathroom so that I could take showers wherever I needed to, and not just in a handicapped stall. Not to mention that those seats probably aren't hygienic in a communal bathroom." —Arielle
Get it from Amazon for $30.95.
A sulfate-free, chemical-free body wash formulated with a blend of chamomile, lavender, and vetiver that helps ease tension and promote a full night of rest.

Promising review: "Working shifts often means feeling like it is impossible to get a full night's sleep. "This works" is not just a claim but a fact; this shower gel does work! I tried it and didn't like it the first night because I found the smell a bit strange, it is not the kind of lavender I was used to smelling. It does not generate a lot of foam or suds but does leave your skin softer. It does not get you
to sleep-in case that may be the problem-but once you ARE asleep; you STAY asleep. I woke up feeling fantastic after just the second night of use and have been using it on a regular basis. I plan to give some as gifts to friends who do a lot of travel for work this holiday season." —Crazy88Line Cook
Get it from Amazon for $20.48 or Anthropologie for $28.

Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for my tub/shower situation. We have no shelving and showerhead racks tend to get rusty/caked with soap and have even fallen off. We've had this in the shower for 3 months now and it's great. It holds all our bottles, razors, and bars of soap. Yes, the soap can "stick" to the mesh but really it's not bothersome at all. The lower pockets are accessible when taking a bath. We've had no issues with mildew/mold, weird smells, or the pockets tearing away from the curtain. Definitely one of my favorite practical purchases!" —Rachel B.
Get it from Amazon for $17.81 or Jet for $28.79.
A deep-cleansing anti-residue shampoo beloved by the masses (1,229 Amazon reviews, nbd) and capable of making you feel like you emerge from a shower with a new head of hair!
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Promising review: "It does a great job of reviving hair after it's been bogged down with oils and other things from washing with your regular favorite shampoo, but it doesn't leave your hair feeling irritated or as if it's been stripped dry. I have dreadlocks and switch between using this and Shea Moisture's African Black Soap Shampoo to help with a dry scalp. Even if you don't have dreadlocks, this stuff will still give your hair a nice pepper-upper in between washing with your regular shampoo. It really gives off a noticeable difference." —Topsy Kretts
Get it from Amazon for $4.89 or Jet for $5.04.
Potent color-protecting and -enhancing shampoo that refreshes faded highlights and saves bleached hair from the ravages of unwanted brassy yellow tones.

Promising review: "Keeps color true! My color would fade and get yellowy, but once I started using this shampoo that stopped!" —Goose55
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 or Jet for $9.54.
