“Have you ever had a mirror in your shower? I have. They are such an awesome idea, in theory. The problem that I have experienced with them, though, is that they don’t stay put, and they don’t stay clear. They get fogged up and they fall down. So basically, they are a hunk of junk.
I’ve been hearing about this fogless mirror from the company ToiletTree. I thought I’d give it a try, but had my suspicions that it wouldn’t be any better of a product than the ones I’ve tried before. And as hard as I tried to make this mirror not work for me, I failed. The mirror won. Let me tell you about my experience.
First, I knew that I would have to decide who would be getting to use the mirror: my husband or me. Tim is almost a foot taller, so there’s no way we could install a mirror that we could both see out of. But ToiletTree anticipated this problem, and made the mirror easy to adjust. I was very pleasantly surprised by this, because I had already decided that Tim should install it for himself.
Second, I just knew this mirror would fall down within a handful of days. But it didn’t. In fact, it has been installed for almost 4 weeks now, and hasn’t budged. I’m just as shocked as you are.
But then I found something that I thought I was going to be able to complain about. When I read on the instructions that I had to fill the back of the mirror with warm water before every use, I was less than thrilled. I thought, “Ah. So using this is actually going to be a pain in the rear.” You know what? I was so wrong. Can we all just think on this for a minute….when you are in the shower, is there a steady supply of warm water within easy reach? Why yes, there is!
Ok, but then I thought, “Yeah, but I’m not going to remember to dump out the water, and then it is going to get all gross.” It is true that I never remember to dump out the water. However, between myself and Tim, the mirror is getting used every single day, so water is sitting for, at most, 24 hours. It isn’t even remotely gross by the time we throw it out. Also, I have to say that getting the mirror on and off its stand is super duper easy.
So all my griping and bemoaning was for absolutely nothing. This mirror truly is user-friendly. And Tim is loving it…he shaves in the shower and that saves him a few minutes every morning!”
