Bath time can be a great time to share with your baby but good grief it can be hard on your knees, elbows and back. Kneeling on a cold hard ceramic tile floor with your elbows pressed into the edge of a porcelain tub really isn’t the most comfortable thing you can do.
You have probably tried kneeling on a bathmat with a rolled up towel placed on the tub edge. You have probably noticed that bathmats don’t have any sort of comfort padding whatsoever and that rolled up towels have a tendency to slide into a tub full of water. These two reasons are why you will be so happy with the Aquatopia Safety Easy Bath Kneeler.
The Aquatopia Deluxe Safety Easy Bath Kneeler
is a really smart idea. It’s a padded bathmat and tub drape. It has ample padding for your knees and elbows. It even has built in pockets to hold different soaps and shampoos. And it can be tossed into the washer and dryer with out any special considerations.
You will find that the Aquatopia bath kneeler is easy to store as it simply folds and unfolds in seconds meaning it’s not a huge ordeal to try to get the whole thing assembled at bath time.
Things We Like
- The Aquatopia Safety Easy Bath Kneeler’s compact size when folded up allows for a multitude of storage options.
- The neoprene construction sticks to the side of the tub so you aren’t sliding back and forth when you shift your weight from one side to the other.
- The entire unit can be tossed into the washing machine and hung up to dry.
- It’s made from neoprene so you don’t have to worry about mold and mildew growing on it.
- Several storage pockets for bath products are a great feature. We didn’t have to constantly stand up or lean across the tub to reach a bar of soap or a bottle of shampoo.

Bamboo is big these days. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cotton blends.
Bamboo is a sustainable renewable resource that grows in hardly any time at all. It can grow in a variety of environments, which means it won’t compete for valuable farmland or forests. It’s really amazing how soft they can make bamboo.
Bamboo products these days come in more shapes and sizes from every day before. You can find them in every thing from blinds to door mats to sheets.
The Pinzon Bamboo Cotton Towel
is about to become your new favorite bathroom linen.
The towel is a blend of 70 percent bamboo and 30 percent cotton. The great thing about this blend is it mixes in the best of both worlds. You get the eco-friendliness of bamboo as well as its soft silk luxurious feel along with the moisture absorbing property of cotton.
There are a couple things to consider with the Pinzon bamboo cotton towel. Since it isn’t the traditional 100% cotton towel, it will need a little bit different cleaning. Wash it in cold water and dry on low temperature. It doesn’t have the same thickness of a cotton towel but still feels heavier.
Another great thing about these towels is they dry much faster than a traditional 100% cotton one. While they’ll soak up plenty of moisture they release it just as quickly. You no longer have to worry about a damp towel that starts to stink after 1 or two uses. In a roundabout way this helps with being eco-friendly, less washing equals less energy and water used.
Things We Like:
- The soft plush feel of the Pinzon bamboo cotton towel
- Pinzon bamboo cotton towels are available in many different colors to suit any bathroom décor.
- The price and quality of the towels make them a real bargain compared to traditional cotton towels. You get a lot of luxury for a really low price.

Alsons Fluidics Showerhead
Saving water is a great way to save the environment. There are all sorts of ways to do it. Water your lawn less frequently, use low flow toilets, and finally water saving faucets and showerheads. There are so many water saving showerhead options out there that it can be a bit mind boggling to find just the right one for your home. Here’s a guide to water saving shower heads that can help demystify what you need to look for.
All water saving showerheads work basically the same way, they restrict the flow of water coming out of the unit. This doesn’t mean you have to settle for a shower under the equivalent of a leaking faucet though.
The most important thing to look for is a shower head that has an aerator built into it. The water consumption will be much less but the aerator will provide a bit higher pressure so you won’t even notice the difference. Aerators work by adding air into the water supply. The increase in volume makes it feel like you’re still standing under a regular shower. If your shower head doesn’t have an aerator then chances are you won’t be happy with it.
There’s a simpler way to save water though. Look for a showerhead that has a cut off built into the showerhead itself. This let’s you completely turn off the water flow with just a push of a button. You get wet, turn the water off, lather up, then turn the water back on to rinse off saving gallons of water. You also have the added bonus of not having to readjust the hot and cold-water knobs. When you turn the water back on it’s at the exact temperature you set it at.
When looking for showerheads the two biggest features that will save you water are an aerator and a water cutoff. By incorporating these two features you can save hundreds of gallons a month and cut down your water bill.

Have you ever been to a spa where after you finish your spa treatment and time in the hot tub, you are given the pleasure of being able to wrap up in a nice warm towel?

Maybe your shower looks more like a walk down the aisle of the local drug store. There are large bottles of shampoo and conditioner that you have to keep finding a place to set in the shower.

The Better Living Classic Two Chamber Dispenser has two 14 oz chambers that will hold a good amount of your liquid products and have them hanging at the ready any time you need to use them.
It quickly attaches to the surface or walls of your shower for easy use.

If you are renovating a bathroom or about to decorate a bathroom in a new home, one of the vital things you will need in a bathroom, other than a sink and toilet, is a mirror. This is the main mirror you will use in the house when you are getting ready for work, doing your hair, or any of a host of other activities.
While you may think any old mirror will do, you should really keep a few tips in mind when selecting a mirror for your bathroom:
-
Size - When choosing a mirror for your bathroom, make sure you get one that is large enough to let you see everything you want to see. One of the trends is to cover the whole wall over the sink and counters with a mirror. This not only gives you plenty of space to take a look at how things are going as you get ready, but it also has the effect of making the bathroom look larger.
-
Countertop of Wall – Where are you going to put your mirror? While you may know which wall you are going to put it on, how are you going to hang it? Is the mirror going to be attached to the back of your countertop or are you planning to attach it to your wall? The answer to these questions may limit your choices. If you are going to attach to your countertop, you need to make sure the mirror you choose will fit the counter. If you are attaching to a wall, you need to find where the studs are located in your wall and make sure you can anchor the mirror to those stronger beams in the wall to make sure it will stay in place.
- Lighting – The final consideration is lighting. You want to make sure that your mirror will have adequate lighting so you will be able to see well enough to let it serve it’s purpose. Many bathrooms have lighting just over the mirror to really brighten up your view
