My bathroom is my palace, and tbh, yours should be too. My bathroom is a place where I spend a lot of time getting ready, taking long baths, and obviously, “using the bathroom,” whatever that actually means. I’ve invested time and money to make my bathroom super comfortable and super convenient so that when I’m in there I feel good—even if I don’t, you know?
Whether you’re looking to overhaul your bathroom so it’s a place where you feel like royalty or just want to find some simple upgrades you hadn’t thought about, here are 20 purchases everyone in your home will appreciate.
1. The ultimate toilet attachment
Get clean and save toilet paper with Tushy.
Bidets have long been ignored in the United States, and Tushy, a company that makes attachable versions you can easily put on any toilet, is trying to change that. At just $89, the most basic version of the Tushy is a great introduction to bidet life. It only takes 10 minutes to install and is non-electric, so there are no electrical cords to deal with. Once it’s all set up, simply use the nozzle adjuster and pressure control knob to find your perfect setting. Even better, installing a Tushy can help you reduce toilet paper usage by up to 80%, according to the company.
2. A toilet stool to help you go
Making it easier to "go" with Squatty Potty.
The Squatty Potty has one simple mission: make it easier for you to go number two. Propping your feet up on the Squatty Potty helps unkink and relax the muscle that helps you go, meaning that the colon can quickly empty. The device is FDA-registered and recommended by doctors, according to the company, and has thousands of positive reviews from satisfied Amazon customers. Plus, one of our writers is obsessed with her Squatty Potty.

3. The best way to keep your toilet clean
Keep it clean and easy.
If you’re going to invest in your toilet, also make an effort to keep it clean. If there’s anything 2020 has taught us, it’s don’t take Clorox for granted, especially its disposable ToiletWand system. With this handy device, you can clean the bowl with disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with a disinfecting mixture Clorox claims will kill up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. The long handle helps you keep your distance from the potty germs and when you’re done scrubbing simply press the button to dispose the pad into the trash and return the handle to the storage caddy.

4. A poo-masking spray with a really clever name

You’ve probably heard of Poo-Pourri by now—it’s everywhere. But if you haven’t had the pleasure, let me introduce you to a handy invention that helps you start masking the scent of your movement before you even go. It’s simple: spritz the toilet bowl before you go, do your business, and voila, a mixture of natural Essential Oils (and “other secret ingredients”) have you—and the room—covered. Available in a handful of scents and designs, there’s a Poo-Pourri perfect for every bathroom.

5. A new type of toilet paper you can feel good about
Bamboo toilet paper is a smart choice.
Everyone knows there’s good toilet paper and bad toilet paper. But besides the thickness or softness, there are still other things to consider when buying your next roll—like what it’s actually made from. Bamboo toilet paper is better for the environment and much more sustainable because bamboo is easier to grow and harvest than trees. No. 2 makes 3-ply bamboo toilet paper that’s “strong and silky” and “butt crumble free.” It’s clog and septic safe, comes in plastic-free packaging, and each roll is wrapped in fun, recycled paper you won’t mind leaving out.
