A fantastic showerhead can cost as little as $50. The installation should take less than 20 minutes, and you might not even need tools to do it. Your rewared? A warm, drenching shower.
If you have weak, dribbly water pressure, consider a new showerhead→

Our favorite waffle towel is so absorbent, our expert likens it to “a just-add-water childhood sponge toy.” Plus, it dries faster than any other towel we’ve tested and feels lovely on the skin.

For several weeks back in 2017, deputy editor Annemarie Conte had the wrong size toilet seat in her bathroom, installed by the previous owner.. It has since been replaced, but its oblong glory has been memorialized above her (now correctly sized) toilet seat. We hope you don’t find yourself in this situation. But if you do, may it at least become a cherished piece of family lore.
