How a No-Drill Shower Caddy Ended Up in My Kitchen

My husband handles most of the cooking in our home, which makes me the resident dish-washer (it’s only fair!). So I spend a lot of time at my kitchen sink, washing and arranging dishes in our drying rack just so and attempting — against all odds — to keep the already small space around our sink free of clutter. I was feeling particularly overstimulated by the mess around the sink when I ordered this TAILI Shower Caddy on Amazon. I thought I’d use it to store my dish sponge, dish soap, and hand soap while keeping the area around the kitchen sink totally clear. I was thrilled when it actually worked. 

The shower caddy attached to my kitchen’s tiled backsplash perfectly using suction cups — no drills, no hard-to-remove adhesive, and no risks to my security deposit. It’s held up incredibly well and has actually made my kitchen look so much cleaner. Here’s how. 

The TAILI Shower Caddy is a rust-proof, powder-coated steel organizer designed to hold shampoo, conditioner, and soap in the shower. Equipped with two heavy-duty suction cups, it easily adheres to tiled or glass surfaces without any extra tools, drilling, or adhesive, and can hold up to 22 pounds (!). It measures just under one foot wide at 11.4 inches, and includes a 6.3-inch-wide shelf, a 3.5-inch-wide soap dish, and a 2-inch-wide hanging hook for razors and brushes. 

The caddy comes in white, black, brown, silver, and gray finishes and can be purchased in a two- or three-pack for added storage. Full transparency: Amazon notes that it’s a frequently returned item, but if it didn’t work out in your bathroom then it might be a sign that it actually belongs in your kitchen. 

As someone with a tiny kitchen sink and limited counter space to spare, the TAILI Shower Caddy has been an absolute game-changer. It utilizes the vertical space in my kitchen by lifting my dish soap, sponge, and hand soap off of the countertop, so the area around my sink stays clear and tidy. I keep bottles of dish soap and hand soap in the caddy’s main compartment, then put my dish sponge in the built-in soap holder (it’s the perfect size!). The wired design lets excess water drain into my sink’s basin, and the caddy doesn’t get gunked up with soap the way the edge of my sink normally does.

Installing the organizer took all of two minutes, thanks to the suction cup backing. I firmly pressed the cups to the wall, and voilá! Instant storage — and I didn’t even need my toolbox. Most importantly, the suction cups haven’t budged since I put the organizer up a month or so ago; it’s that sturdy. I’m also able to pump the hand soap while it’s in the caddy, and it doesn’t move unless I want it to. Even so, I was able to release the suction cups and reposition the caddy at the ideal height. 

The TAILI Shower Caddy has worked so well in my kitchen that I’m even considering getting a few more to store spices and cooking tools on my stove’s backsplash. And because this caddy costs only $20, you really can’t go wrong.
