If you’re moving into a college dorm for the first time, you’re probably already packing all the necessary items for move-in day.

One of the items on your must-have list has to be a shower caddy that you can easily carry to and from the shower. This way you can avoid the annoying armful of shampoo and shower gel bottles that are constantly falling on the floor.

With the right shower basket, you’ll have all the essential bathing essentials with you for a trip and never have to worry about an embarrassing moment as a newbie again.

However, not all freshman shower shelves are the same, so finding the best one for you can be a real challenge.

Best College Shower Caddy

To help you decide, here are some of the most recommended shower caddys for college dorms, including models from IDesign and Room Essentials.

1. IDesign plastic shower caddy with dividers: “It has nine different compartments that can hold various toiletries, including loofahs, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, shower shoes, towels and more. It is made of durable, water-resistant plastic and has small holes on the bottom that help water drain out,” says Teen Vogue.
2. Room Essentials Mesh Caddy: “This mesh bag was one of the fastest-drying caddies we tested. After six hours, it was almost completely dry, with only the handles feeling slightly damp,” says Business Insider.
3. Attmu Mesh Shower Basket: “This best-selling shower caddy offers exceptional storage space, with a central compartment and six smaller pockets on the sides. It’s made of polyester mesh material that allows water to drip right through instead of soaking it up,” says Best Products.
4. Portable Shower Caddy by Funambulist: “The coolest (most Gen Z) feature about this product is the waterproof front pocket for your phone. It’s thick enough to keep water out, but thin enough so you can swipe the home screen, listen to music, or answer texts while you lather up,” says PureWow.
5. mDesign universal caddy made of plastic: “Functionality meets beauty in this modern shower caddy from Amazon. Featuring two separate bins and a sturdy handle, it’s durable enough to carry all your shower essentials day after day,” says Well+Good.
