Abstract
A storage caddy for personal care products comprising a support portion for supporting said storage caddy in a selected position, a shelf portion for supporting selected personal care products, and a hanger or article receiving and retaining portion for supporting articles suspended therefrom. The hanger or article receiving and retaining portion includes a pair of spaced apart elongated hanger members for supporting at least a portion of selected personal care products. The spaced apart elongated hanger members are adapted to support thereon at least a portion of a personal care product of the type that can be selectively oriented in a position either to engage and be supported by said hanger members or in a position to pass through the enclosed space therebetween for insertion or removal. The elongated hanger members include a discontinuity such as an obstruction formed therein to inhibit reorientation of the selected personal care product from the hanger engaging position to the pass through position and the resultant inadvertent disengagement thereof from the caddy.
