Maximize Your Tub Time With These Kick-Ass Shower Accessories

Your daily shower can be a boring, monotonous routine. With the right shower accessories, it doesn’t have to be.  An effective shower can help relieve the impacts of stress, improve blood circulation and muscle recovery after a hard workout, as well as enhance your overall hygiene.

Most people think they need a trip to the spa to get these therapeutic effects. However, with the right set of gear in your bathroom, your shower can go from a chore to feeling like an individualized spa adventure. A shower beer session is a great place to start, but since cracking open beer in the morning isn’t exactly acceptable, we’re here to give you some other options that’ll allow you to unwind.

From comfortable, aesthetically satisfying towels, bathrobes, and bath mats to waterproof speakers and other toiletries, these shower accessories will enhance your shower experience while keeping you feeling fresh.

Crafted from 100 percent Turkish cotton, the Mid-Plush bath sheet is an extremely soft, lightweight, and absorbent towel that will make showering less of a chore and more of a therapy session.
