SipCaddy Shower Beer Holder: A Cupholder Where Nobody Expected One
Cars have cupholders. Couches have cupholders. Why should your shower be left out?
There is a whole internet subculture devoted to the shower beer, the sacred act of enjoying a cold drink under hot water. There is also a whole category of people who have knocked that drink onto the tub floor while reaching for shampoo. The SipCaddy exists for both groups.
It is a small suction-cup cupholder you stick to the shower wall, and it turns out to be one of those inventions that seems silly right up until you use it.
What is the SipCaddy shower beer holder?
The SipCaddy is a compact ring-style holder mounted on a suction cup. You press it onto a smooth wall and drop in your drink. The listing we checked says it holds cans, bottles, cups, and even stemmed wine glasses, and the brand markets it as working for beer in the shower and wine in the bath with equal enthusiasm.
The important detail is the surface. The suction cup wants a slick, sealed finish to grip, so think shower glass, a mirror, or shiny glazed tile, and when it is pressed on properly the listing puts its holding limit at roughly 7 pounds. It will not play nicely with textured walls or grout lines, so check your shower before you buy. The suction cup is American-made, according to the listing, and the design is patented.
Because it is portable, you are not stuck with it in one spot. People also use it on boats, in RVs, or on a glass door by the pool, and some folks use it as a spot for a razor or soap when no drink is involved.

The verdict
The SipCaddy is a small, oddly delightful upgrade that solves a problem you did not realize you had until the first time you use it. If bathroom weirdness is your thing, you will probably also enjoy the litter box disguised as a houseplant and, for bearded friends, the Beard King beard bib.
