Problems solved by technology

Placement of an exposed toilet plunger in a bathroom is not aesthetically pleasing nor sanitary.

On the other hand, when a toilet plunger is stored in an out of sight location, it may not be easily accessible when needed.

Therefore, it is desirable to have a toilet plunger close at hand in a bathroom, preferably within a caddy or container as a plunger merely residing on a lavatory floor is unsightly.

For example, many containers are often unattractive in appearance, and may not blend in with the overall décor or aesthetics of the bathroom.

This may be inconvenient to the user and unsanitary.

Another problem may be that the toilet plunger may inadvertently become dislodged from the container during transport.

Still further, in bathrooms where space is at a premium, there may not be sufficient space to store a plunger as well as other toilet necessities within a reasonable perimeter of the toilet bowl.

Another common problem encountered in bathrooms is the limited amount of space.

Thus, storage of lavatory necessities can oftentimes be difficult.

While certain toiletries are small and unassuming in terms of space, extra rolls of toilet paper are unsightly and take up a great deal of space.
