On my search a shower caddy, I've learned that there are all types. Different shapes, sizes, and colors....some with suction cups....and so on. Well, this looked like one that would actually serve its purpose and it did. Holds everything.....all my shampoos. shower brush, soap, and just about anything. It long and wide enough to get the job done. And then its flexible also which naturally gives you more room. Dorm Caddy Shower Tote
This is about as close to the perfect size for a shower tote that I've found. It's flexible and easy to carry around without tipping, it'll hold the tallest bottles you can find, it'll hold a lot of things and it folds down quickly if you need it to.
As for the drainage issue, the bottom of the tote is a very thin, tough nylon with one grommeted hole in the center. There is a very, very thin lip of the nylon that comes up around the edge of the tote and after that, it's all a very sturdy but wide mesh. A very slight tip of the caddy will drain everything easily, no problem.
This is a perfectly nice shower caddy, and for the price it's fairly large and seems like it will hold up fairly well. My only gripe is that it is only mentioned once, in small print at the very end of the product description that it is available in a variety of colors, and not mentioned anywhere else that you don't get to CHOOSE the color.
This kind of thing is normally a non-issue, especially when the colors are all fairly unisex. Personally, I was expecting to receive a gray one as in the photo, yet I am sitting here (a 20-year old male) staring down a lavender shower tote that I'm not sure I'll ever have the heart to use.
This is quite roomy and perfect for the gym; I'm sure it would be for a dorm room or group house. It's plenty deep to hold full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, etc., drainhole in the bottom, etc. - What's not to like?
This product is great and exactly as advertised. It collapses to very flat and fits easily into my gym bag.
When I pack it, I leave the shower items in it, collapse it and turn it on its side to go into the side pocket of my gym bag. When I do this, it looks like the items could fall out of the mouth of the bag. In my opinion, the product could therefore be improved by a velcro, snap or hook flap over the top to close the mouth.
I have the same experience as a previous reviewer. I purchased this item for my son as he heads off to college and received a pink one. That isn't going to work. The odd part is that I was given a choice when I placed my order and I chose black, but was still sent a pink one. As usual Amazon was wonderful and gave me a credit for this item, so I am now shopping on Amazon for another style shower caddy. Do not recommend this one unless you are color blind.
with the quality of this item. As the mother of two college bound children I wanted to find a caddy that was well priced and durable and this one fit the bill. I like that this caddy is sturdy and has room to hold full size product not just sample sizes. The handle makes it perfect to either hang from a hook or leave in the shower depending upon your bathroom configuation. Also the mesh allows it to drain well and dry fast so no worries about mold or mildew. All in all I would say this perfectly suits the need for college dorm living.
I'm very fond of my little green shower tote. I've had this tote for three years now and it still serves as my shower caddy, but here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Holds EVERYTHING. I have never had the issue of too little space.
- Folds up for when you don't need it (like moving day), which is really really really handy.
- Can hang it from something easily, though it sticks out a lot since it is slightly rigid.
- Very durable for something collapsible-- has never torn, ripped, or otherwise shown any real weaknesses in my usage.
- Very lightweight, which also helps on moving day.
Cons:
- After about 1.5 years (I think), my caddy started to rust. The little metal ring around the hole in the bottom has now rusted through and the lovely red-brown color is seeping through the fabric. No functionality has been lost yet, just aesthetics.
- The bottom is solid fabric with a tiny hole to drain. This is good for carrying things but REALLY bad for draining water. There have been times where I had to turn my caddy sideways and drain it after a shower.
- Because of its vertical shape, I sometimes have to dig for things.'
