A Good Shower A'int What It Used To Be

Tweet

Am I the only one out there who thinks the energy savers have gone a little nuts on water pressure? I guess I understand low-flow toilets, although I found the old ones that flowed higher needed to be cleaned less often, and the low flow ones don't over-flow as quickly if they get clogged (there is a bit of a warning, at least), but low flow showers? Forget about it! How the heck am I supposed to get my hair clean under warm (not hot, warm) water, that's barely there? And don't get me started on tub and shower combinations. Not accessible at all. The management at my apartment came by and installed some nice grab bars. They work pretty well, but there is still a challenge for me getting out, because from the floor to the top of the tub is a higher drop than from the inside of the tub to the top. Also, I can't get my footing, because that sucktioned on bath mat always slips. Thank God for the grab bars, eh? Anyone who says women don't have extra body strength never watched a 250 pound woman support her entire weight with one hnd on a bathroom grab bar. LOL Frankly, if it were up to me, I'd tear the entire thing out, and install a "sensible" shower. A good shower. A steam shower, with a seat in it, and bars; one to grab, and one that serves drinks. LOL If a tub would be a must, I'd consider one of those walk-in's. Those would be great. Benches, higher water levels, jets, and if I felt like standing up, I could install a shower in there. I don't know why no one made those standard years ago. Sometimes I feel like the "disabled" (God, I hate that word!!) are the only ones with common sense, because we're the ones who have to think about all this stuff. What do you think?
