OK, I know you’ve got holiday parties coming up soon. Thousands of guests invading the privacy of your bathroom means it’s time to clean up and get into the xmas spirit. …

I saw this bath gadget on Amazon the other day and was intrigued. Most baths have some sort of overflow “safety” drain or hole that is located on the top of the lever that stops your drain when pulled up. Now, while this IS good for safety, it is horrible for getting the water level of your bath tub anywhere near full.

In order to combat this, I’ve previously tried to caulk the holes shut with plastic water seal that comes in a tube. While semi-effective, there are times when you actually WANT the overflow drain. So this Deep Water Bath Plug looks like it might be great for the purpose of temporarily plugging up the holes. It’s basically just a piece of 4″ diameter vinyl with suction cups that fits over the drain hole.

Don’t lie. I know you drop your bath soap all the time, even at home. How do you fix that? Well, it’s the classic Soap On A Rope, …

If you’ve spent any amount of time in the tub or shower, you know how important it is to keep your soaps out of the water… otherwise they simply melt away! …

Ok, everyone who has tried relaxing in the bath with a good book - raise your hand. I can’t count the number of times that I’ve waterlogged a paperback (or god forbid a hardcover book) by dunking it in the tubwater whilst reaching for the soap with my other free hand.

It’s infuriating. Everyone knows that reading in the bath is a great way to relax. For awhile now, I’ve been on the hunt for a good bathtub caddy or bathtub reading stand, and I still haven’t found one that’s up to standards.

Here’s an example of a simple bath caddy that’s meant to hold a paperback, but that has some questionable functionality. This is a Brookstone Bathtub Caddy, and I don’t mean to pick on them in particular. In fact, kudos to them for the picture that actually illustrates the main problem.

This simple wire rack has mini-receptacles for soap and scrubbers on either side of the center “book rack”. Now, this rack actually has nothing to hold the page open, which is the bane of bathers everywhere. They actually show the book’s pages bent back underneath themselves in order to hold the page place without having to hold it with one hand. This is pretty much the setup for all bath tray racks I’ve seen. It’s nice to have a place to set the book down (I’ve been balancing it on the tub edge), but it just seems so precarious. I can imagine the pages underneath coming lose and causing the book to fly up in the air and into the water. In addition, it seems sort of damaging to the spine of the book to keep it opened up.
