A small bathroom caddy has one job: hold your daily toiletries in a space that is tight. This guide compares six small caddies, from a hard plastic basket to a folding caddy and a mesh bag, using only the figures on their Amazon listings. Size, handle, dividers and how the caddy is carried decide which one suits you.

Some of these listings are written for general storage, not only for showers. Where that is the case, the review says so.

Quick answer

If you have a narrow shelf or sink edge, start with the DecorRack, the smallest basket at 4.5 by 9 by 4.7 inches. If you want a tall basket with a built-in handle, the BYUNER is the tallest at 8.86 inches. If you want to separate items, the AOZITA lists 5 compartments and a removable divider. If you travel or share a bathroom, the folding MINDFARGE or the light REDSINDA mesh bag are easier to carry and store.

For other ways to store things in a shower, see our guides to shower organizers, shampoo holders and bath and shower racks.

Buying checklist

  • Measure the shelf, sink edge or stall corner, and keep depth, width and height separate.
  • Check the tallest bottle you own against the listed height.
  • Count the groups of items you carry and compare with the listed compartments.
  • If the caddy will sit in a wet area, look for perforations or mesh, and check the photos for holes or slots where the listing is silent.
  • Check that the caddy will not block a tap, mirror cabinet or door when set down.
  • Remember that a full caddy weighs more than its listed weight.

The EPA reports that showering accounts for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use. That is why a bathroom caddy stays damp, and it is not a rating of any product here. Source: EPA WaterSense showerheads.

FAQ

What is the smallest bathroom caddy on this list?

The DecorRack basket is the smallest at 4.5 inches deep, 9 inches wide and 4.7 inches high. The BYUNER is the tallest basket at 8.86 inches, so it needs more headroom on a shelf.

Which of these caddies lets water drain?

The MINDFARGE folding caddy is listed as perforated and the REDSINDA is a mesh bag, so water can pass through both. The other four listings do not describe drainage, so check the photos for holes or slots.

Which caddy has the most compartments?

The AOZITA tote lists 5 compartments and a removable divider. The rejomiik lists 3. The MINDFARGE, REDSINDA and DecorRack listings do not state a compartment count.

Which one is easiest to carry or pack?

The MINDFARGE folds flat and weighs 240 g, and the REDSINDA mesh bag weighs 0.08 kg. The DecorRack lists 0.02 kg. A full caddy weighs more than the listed figure.

Do I need to replace a caddy I already own?

Not if it holds what you need, stays put and dries out between uses. Buy a new one when you can name a clear problem, such as it being too big for the shelf or having no dividers.

Closing note

Pick the caddy that fits your space first, then the one that suits how you carry it. Several details are not stated on these listings, such as drainage for most baskets and compartment counts, so check the photos before you order.
