Your Guide to Dorm Room Bathroom Must Haves

You'll likely get a call from your kid when they're under the weather. Help them ward off headaches by sending them with ELANVEDA Essential Oils All Headache ($10).

A towel with a pattern on it means that no one will be able to mistake your kid's towel for theirs. The Anthropologie Mae Towel Collection ($14, originally $18) is a smart investment.

The dreaded communal shower situation requires that you send your student off with their own pair of Havaianas Top Fashion Flip-Flops ($24).

If your student will be walking down the hall in order to get to the showers, an adorably soft robe like the ASOS Jersey Robe in Cloud Print ($42) will keep them warm . . . and covered.

Since they'll likely be storing their toothbrush in a shared restroom, you'll want to get something that will safely protect it from germs and bacteria. Pick up the OXO Good Grips Toothbrush Organizer ($20) — they can also store their toothpaste in there to make sure roommates don't use it.

Mom won't be there to pick up after her kid this time. The H&M Small Storage Basket ($4) is a great catch-all for bathroom items like washcloths, extra razors, and other knick-knacks that would otherwise end up shoved in the back of a cabinet somewhere.

For those days when you just don't have the time to deal, you'll appreciate having these Goodwipes Hygiene Wipes ($10) stocked in the bathroom. Made of aloe, tea-tree oil, and peppermint, you can spruce up in just a few seconds in between classes.

If they're sharing a bathroom and don't have space to store things in the restroom, send them off with a Room Essentials Plastic Shower Caddy ($6). They can keep all of their bath essentials in one place.

Make sure they have a place to hang their towel and get them the Crate & Barrel Blue Suction Hook ($5, originally $6).

Sometimes we all want a little bit of privacy. They can use this World Market "Do Not Disturb" Bathroom Door Hanger ($7) when they really need some private time.

Having a Zadro Z'Fogless Shower Mirror ($20) is a nice little luxury, especially when using a shared space.
