    we went arguing with shower caddies then realised we liked the one that had an extending pole we used at the old place the best, but didn’t like the extending pole part so I ended up retrofitting it with some 3D printing to combination hang / suction cup in the stall.

    But Ikea is still evil for various things

      Its evilness is precisely why I’ve staved off its temptations this long. It’s okay going there back where I grew up because it has memories of being a high school hangout place and just going in for meatballs, plush toys, cushions and sitting on random beds/pretending to be cool in the display bathrooms, but most of my adult life has been in Australia and it would be so easy to collect (especially when I had a car).

      Mind you, my house is still 75% IKEA, but all second hand.

      I will say this $9 Kmart shower caddy with hanging + suction cups and a separate little tray for solid soap pleases me very much so far.

        yah, that’s the one we had, but it irritated us (I use solid shampoo / conditioner, we both use soap bars, so there just wasn’t enough rooooooooooooom). Wish I’d known, coulda slung you the one sitting unused in the cupboard!

          I use a soap bar and a shampoo bar too but the basket still seems to work alright (compared to my old one where there were no vertical bars so the soap would slide right out the side no matter how big it was). When the shampoo bar gets small enough to slide through the vertical bars of this caddy, I do have a cloth bag I can put it in for extended use that I can now hang off one of the hooks… But I’ll see how I go with this. It actually holds everything I have and stays in one place so that’s a huge win already (yes my standards are on the floor).

            I use those little diatomaceous earth platters for my hair stuff, and we use standard silicon trays for normal soaps so it got a bit crowded. If my hair soap gets too small I open a new one then mush them together XD (body soap gets in the bags)
