    33 Things That'll Make Your Next Bathroom Break A Whole Lot Better

    Transform your bathroom into an oasis.

    1. A waterproof notepad for all your best shower thoughts. No idea is worth getting out of the nice hot water for!

    2. A narrow cabinet to squeeze into that awkward space between the toilet and the wall so you can finally have a place for extra toilet paper, soap, your phone, or anything else that needs a home.

    3. Motion-activated LED light strips that'll illuminate your way to the toilet in the middle of the night. They'll also come in handy when you drop an earring. 

    These charge up with a standard outlet or four AA batteries.

    Promising review: "These are great; I absolutely love them. I placed them on my steps and they are just a showstopper! Everyone had to ask about them. I especially love that you can use them connected to an outlet or without by simply placing batteries in the battery compartment. Best thing ever!!!" —Jesse

    Get one meter from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three lengths and in cool or warm white).

    4. A shower phone holder so you can catch up on the news or your favorite show while getting clean. Just don't uhhh, take any work video calls.

    Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great, and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan

    5. Really effective dental cleaning tablets reviewers love for cleaning retainers, dentures, or mouth guards in under 30 minutes. Say goodbye to that gross toothbrush you used to use every morning.

    6. A wall-mounted toilet brush that definitely beats having to wrestle a brush out the traditional holder.

    7. A jet cleaner to evict all that gross brown goo lurking just out of view.

    8. A motion-activated trash can that, on top of being very futuristic, is surprisingly cute. The lid isn't overly sensitive to motion, and is also waterproof, so you don't have to worry about accidentally soaking your trash.

    9. Possibly the most elegant toothbrush holder you've ever seen — sure, it's a splurge but it'll impress every guest who uses your bathroom.

    Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on these towels! They are cute and don't take up a lot of space. I use them in my bathroom and kitchen.

    12. Big ol' enzyme pacs that fight through grease, fats, oils, paper, and organic matter to keep your sewer line clear. It's basically like flushing a tiny plumber down your toilet once a month.

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy

    Check out my writeup on the Rabbitgoo rainbow privacy film for more deets on why it's so popular!

    Promising review: "Buy it just for the prisms! I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall...and the bed...and the cat." —J. B.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
