Every inch in a small bathroom counts. This is especially true when the bathroom is used a lot, and you need to keep a lot of toilet paper rolls and towels in it. Sure, you could add a shelf or a cabinet. However, in small bathrooms where there is barely enough room already, this is not always an option. Luckily, Amazon might have a fix. Say hi to the Surlama Wall Toilet Paper Holder. This metal toilet paper storage rack, which weighs 1.3 pounds and measures 20.79 inches long by 2.7 inches wide, mounts to the wall and holds extra rolls in a cloud-like shape.

The toilet roll holder comes in several different versions. For instance, there is a smaller version that holds six toilet paper rolls and a larger one with space for 10. If you want something playful, there are also styles with octopus, sheep, sloth, and antler shapes available as well. But no matter what size or style you pick, the idea is simple: Move extra toilet rolls out of the way and save space.

As for customer feedback, the product has not attracted many reviews yet. However, the ones it does have are positive. Several reviewers like that it saves space, looks cute, and does not feel too large on the wall. One reviewer even noted, "It's a real space saver." That said, there is some negative feedback, too. For instance, one buyer shared that the holder might be too small to maintain wide toilet paper rolls and the decorative animal element at the same time. If this is a concern for you, too, it might pay to consider other ways and places to store toilet paper in a tiny bathroom before making the purchase.

The Surlama Wall Toilet Paper Holder can help you save space in the bathroom. However, you might have a hard time keeping it on the wall. According to one Amazon reviewer, the adhesive provided along with the holder did not stick properly, and the included nails worked better. Now, since this is a bathroom product, the problem may not be the holder. Instead, it could be the wall surface. That is because bathroom walls are often painted with glossier finishes as they are easier to wipe clean and better suited to humid spaces. However, this can also make it harder for the adhesive to grip.

The issue can be even worse if your bathroom walls were painted with oil-based paint, which adhesive products often struggle with. On top of that, steam and moisture in the bathroom can make the adhesive even less functional. So, before attaching the holder, clean the wall well and let it dry completely. You'll also want to avoid sticking it up right after a hot shower. If you want your holder to stick, a smooth and dry wall is your best bet.

If, however, no matter how hard you try, the holder does not stick with the adhesive, you can also use the nails that come with the holder to attach it to the wall. Just make sure you know how to drill perfectly straight holes. Keep in mind this holder only works for toilet paper rolls and towels. If you want to store other things, you might want to look into another space-saving bathroom storage solution.
