Staying safe and organized in a shared space starts with the right gear.

Starting college means a lot of exciting changes—new classes, new friends, and likely, your first experience with a shared dorm or apartment bathroom. While it might not be glamorous, your shower setup plays a big role in keeping you healthy, clean, and safe.

Between slippery tiles, crowded caddies, and less-than-private spaces, the right tools can make all the difference. Here are three dorm-friendly shower essentials that help prevent slips, reduce mess, and maximize your space (no tools required!).

1. Stay Grounded with a Non-Slip Shower Mat

Dorm showers can be slippery underfoot; our compact 21″ square non-slip shower mat is the perfect solution. It fits easily in small stall showers and offers reliable traction underfoot to help prevent slips and falls.

Made from durable materials and designed with drainage in mind, it’s a simple addition that adds safety without sacrificing comfort. Simply lay it down, press the suction cups into place, and you’re good to go—no adhesives or installations required.

2. Control Splash and Drafts with Shower Splash Clips

Ever had a shower curtain that just won’t stay put? Whether it’s blowing inward or letting water leak out onto the floor, it’s a common bathroom issue. That’s where shower splash clips come in.

These simple, tool-free clips hold your curtain liner in place, creating a tight seal that helps keep water in and cold drafts out. They hold the liner toward the shower wall, reducing leaks that could lead to slippery floors and roommate complaints.

No tools, no stress: These damage-free clips install in seconds, so you can enjoy peace of mind every time you step into the shower.

3. Stay Organized with a Corner Shower Basket

Space is tight in shared showers. If you’re juggling shampoo bottles, razors, and loofahs on the floor, it’s time to level up. A corner suction shower basket is a smart way to keep your essentials off the ground and within easy reach.

Designed to hold up to 22 pounds, this rustproof drain-basket sticks securely in dorm showers—without drilling or permanent adhesives. Excellent drainage means your items stay dry between uses. It also includes removable hooks for hanging razors or loofahs, so your routine stays tidy and hygienic.

Pro tip: Look for baskets with adjustable suction or re-positioning options to fit your specific dorm setup.
