Efficient Bath Products
Hi! I am currently writing this from Reno, NV where I am attending the 20th Annual National Association of Professional Organizers Conference. The conference hasn’t even started yet but I am excited about all the friends to see (old & new), things to learn and products to share!
This year’s conference is at John Ascuaga’s Nugget and the rooms are great. I have even found a great product here in my room…it’s the shower curtain. Don’t you hate hanging your shower curtain? It’s a pain to change it out and if you change the liners frequently, you may have to deal with punching out the holes on the new liner while struggling not to drop the hooks.
Try the Hookless® It’s a snap!™ Shower Curtain from Arcs & Angles! To start, the shower curtain has a sheer panel at the top to allow light into the tub area. For those of us who don’t have lighting in the tub area, this is a lifesaver when you have a razor in your hand. Then, there are no shower hooks to struggle with. The large grommet style openings have a slit between every other opening so they slip right on to the shower curtain rod and the slits are hidden by the rod.
And finally, the liner is actually attached with plastic snaps that make it quick & simple to remove for washing. You can also check out Arcs & Angles other great bathroom innovations- the Arc Shower Bar™ or the Slide & Tilt Medicine Cabinet Organizer.
If you have any great bathroom products, I’d love to hear about them in the comments section! And check back soon for more updates from my NAPO conference experience!

Lauren, it’s so funny that you mentioned those Nugget shower curtains. As I stood in the shower each morning of conference, brain-numbed, wayyyyyy too early, the only cogent thought I recall having (and I had it daily) was “What a cool shower curtain. It must be so easy to take it off to clean it and put it back.” A shortie myself, I’m always risking a broken neck, balancing on the edge of the tub to replace the shower curtain at home. Thanks for doing the research–you may have prevented one of those home accident statistics by at least one!

OMG, Lauren, I saw that in my shower in Reno too but wasn’t smart enough to BLOG about it! LOL! It was really cool!

I second the Hookless® shower curtain. My roommate told me about it before I even had a chance to take a shower. She had already written the name and website down. The other benefit for the sheer panel at the top is our room had a plasma in the bathroom. You could watch tv from the shower without water splashing out.
Lauren- let me know if you find a waterproof remote control. That would have made the showering experience complete!

Lauren:
I think i should complain to the hotel — I did NOT get your hookless shower curtain in my bathroom. Poor me. Was great meeting you at the Conference. Your blog is great. Write more, more often.

Lauren,
I loved the horizontal “peek-a-boo” panel in the event that you hear strange noises going thump in the middle of your shower (”Hello, housekeeping!”)
The panel allows one to maintain modesty without wrapping the icky-sticky shower curtain around one’s face, Flying Nun style.

Yes! I loved the shower curtain, too! It was so smart and yet so simple. If only they’d make them to fit the shower curtain rod hung entirely too close to my ridiculously tall bathroom ceiling.
I think the shower curtain made up for the new, crispy, not-so-comforting comforter on my bed.

I knew in a hotel full of PO’s I couldn’t be the only one…I definitely didn’t have a plasma in my bathroom though!
