College life comes at you fast. One day you’re picking out bed sheets, the next you’re flip-flopping your way to a communal shower. But don’t worry! We’ve got the 101 on building a dorm shower caddy that keeps you fresh and earns you rewards with Fetch. Whether you’re shopping online with Fetch Shop or snapping receipts in-store, you’ll be stacking points while you stock up.
What’s a dorm shower caddy (and why do you need one)?
If your dorm has shared bathrooms (spoiler: it probably does), a shower caddy is your new best friend. It keeps all your stuff in one spot and your shampoo from rolling down the hall.
- Mesh or drain holes (no puddles, please)
- Comfy handles (for that early-morning trek)
- Divided pockets (because chaos isn’t cute)
Pro tip: Shopping online? Use Fetch Shop to earn points automatically when you buy from retailers like Walmart, Kohl’s, and Bed Bath & Beyond.
