Don't try to balance everything on the ledge of the tub or shower stall. Get a caddie and get things under control.

Pick a caddie with enough slots and space for all your shower necessities but not so many that it begs for clutter.

Look for the little extras: hooks to hang wet washcloths, platforms for soap.

Don't rely on suction alone. Choose a caddie that hooks over a shower head or a towel rack and that uses suction cups as stabilizers, not supports.

Keep it clean. Chrome or plastic-coated wire models require less wiping than solid versions. Brushed Chrome Euro Caddie, $15, Bed Bath & Beyond, www.bedbathandbeyond.com.
