Wall mount shampoo & conditioner dispensers - kids' shower?

[ohgillian]

I was wondering about doing one of those wall mount shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower, but maybe it just gives one of my kids, who likes to fiddle with things, something else to break. Has anyone used one of those?

Here's a random example, but I haven't really looked at what all is out there as options:  www.amazon.com/Better-Living-Chamber-Dispenser-Chrome/dp/B000FGE5K0

I've used those in hotels and I like them for the purpose of utilizing vertical space. However, I know both of my kids (ages 6 and 2) would just play with it and waste all the shampoo. Maybe when they're older.

Yeah - my 8 YO already does that with the regular shampoo bottle, which is super frustrating. I was hoping this could discourage that, but putting it on the wall might make it even more tempting.

No--but I am going to use this opportunity to tell everyone I bought this and it is EXCELLENT for messy toddlers and husbands:

I also bought these for their toothbrushes and put the first letter of each of their names on the flower so my H knows which kid toothbrush it whos:

To actually be helpful I think those shower things could be good. Just be stern about 1 pump per day and that's all.

Ooh thanks! Just added your first link to my cart.  We have a three color toothbrush holder/cup system already which goes with the twin assigned colors. LOL.  I also invested last month in a penguin auto hand soap dispenser and it's great with toddlers/preschooler.

I got a hand soap wall mount because my kids were going through an insane amount fooling around with it. It did work well to curb the wasting, but they are rough with it and I’m afraid it’s going to damage the wall. Probably should have installed it lower down to the ground so it was easier for them to pump it.

We have one in our bathroom, since our shower doesn't have much shelf space and it works great. DD uses it sometimes and its never a problem (shes a pretty careful kid though). I'm thinking about it for the kids bathroom too, since DS would waste an entire bottle of shampoo if I let him every bath. We have the simple human one and its pretty sturdy.

Just ordered that toothpaste thing! Great idea, the kids always struggle with toothpaste, now no more escuses lol.

I feel confident my kids would break something like that - and they aren’t rough kids. Just seems like something that is prone to breakage.

We use shampoo and conditioner that has pump lids. My kids have no issue with it.
