Shower Time in Style

College dorms often have communal bathrooms, which means your teen will have to carry their shampoos, conditioners, skincare and more back and forth between their room and the shower. Make it easier for them with a sturdy, reliable shower caddy that will hold all of their favorite things. We’ve rounded up the coolest styles and designs, so we’re sure there’s something every college student will love.

Mesh Shower Caddy Basket

With over 11,900 Amazon reviews and a 4.5-star rating, it’s no wonder why this shower caddy is an "Amazon’s Choice" item. There’s a large center pocket to fit their favorite towels, scrubs, and more. Better yet, the center pocket is surrounded by smaller pockets for individual items, so everything will be in its proper place. The handle can be used to hang it on a hook or peg and the mesh material ensures quick drying.

Recycled Over-the-Shoulder Shower Caddy

This eco-friendly pick is made from water-resistant, recycled material and includes six pockets for all of your college student’s essentials. Plus, this caddy is super easy to carry thanks to its long over-the-shoulder strap (in addition to traditional handles at the base).
