What Is the Kincmax Shower Caddy?

The Kincmax shower caddy is no ordinary bathroom organizer. These shower shelves won’t get gross thanks to their 100% stainless steel and rustproof construction, along with their open wire design, which is optimal for water drainage. Adhesive strips secure them on a variety of bathroom surfaces: tile, marble, glass—you name it. Plus, four hooks come with the shelves, which are perfect for hanging a razor or loofah.

Each shelf holds 15 pounds, so you can keep everything tidy, including larger than life shampoo and conditioner bottles. Shoppers love that they get more storage space out of these bathroom shower shelves compared to the traditional hanging shower caddy.

I know, I know—how can the internet be this obsessed with shower shelves? The combination of strong adhesive and sturdy construction are two reasons. Top it off with the little dose of luxury they add to any shower wall and you’ve got a TikTok viral gem that actually holds up. A great home improvement product for renters, they’re also removable.

The Kincmax shower shelves have been featured in several viral TikTok videos, each amassing 50-100K views and thousands of likes. Meanwhile, #ShowerTok (yes, it’s a thing) has amassed 3.9B views thanks to videos about shower products, organization and of course, the viral Kincmax shower caddy.

How We Tested It

I’ve had these bathroom shower shelves for over a year now, so trust me when I say they’ve gone through thorough testing. I even transferred them from one apartment to another (more on that later).

Installing the Kincmax Shower Caddy

Upon unboxing my bathroom shower shelves, I was immediately impressed with how sturdy they looked and felt. I ordered the matte black shelves, but they also come in a polished silver finish. As expected, they came with two adhesive strips (one for each shelf) with hooks for securing the caddy shelves in place. Per the instructions, I sprayed my shower wall with cleaning solution, rinsed it with water and dried it with a cloth.

I wanted the shelves vertically “stacked” on top of each other, just like in the TikTok videos. Starting at one end, I stuck one adhesive strip to the wall, smoothing it out as I went. For the second strip, I measured about three to four inches above the first one to allow enough space for bottles and other shower supplies. Then I applied the second adhesive strip, repeating the smoothing process. I hooked the shelves into the prongs on the adhesive strips and voila! My TikTok viral bathroom shower shelves were all set.

The instructions recommend waiting a full 24 hours before placing shower products on the shelves. But because I’m impatient, I only waited an hour before organizing my shampoo and conditioner bottles, scrubs and body wash. This method was successful for me both times I installed them. However, I recommend following the instructions just to be safe.

Testing the Kincmax Shower Caddy

When it was time to put the shelves to use, I found that, not only do they hold every single one of my shower products, I was able to get all that storage out of just one shelf. I lived with my sister in the first place that I installed the shelves, so we each got our own tier. Now that we’ve upgraded to a bigger apartment with two bathrooms, I don’t even fill the shelves to the brim with my products—there’s that much room. My sister loved them so much she had to order them for her new bathroom, too.

The bathroom shower shelves didn’t budge once installed in either apartment, and the adhesive strip never showed signs of pulling away from the wall. Just like the product says, the shelves are 100% rustproof. They still look as good as they did on day one.

Product Features

The Kincmax shower caddy arrives with two shelves in your choice of matte black or polished silver. Each shelf comes with its own adhesive strip. You’ll also receive instructions to guide you through the installation process, which is a breeze. I love that you can choose how you want the shelves mounted: Vertically, horizontally or in a zig-zag stacked design.

Final Verdict

I’m 15 months into testing the Kincmax shower caddy, and I’m never going back to the traditional hanging shower caddy. Unlike some wall mounted bathroom shower shelves, the Kincmax shower caddy offers extra deep shelves. They hold a few large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, as well as smaller items. Simply put, nothing is fall out of these bad boys.
