Showering: what's making it hard?
Quick answer: Showering gets hard for different reasons — using one hand or can't bend or reach — and the tool that helps is different for each. Pick the one closest to you.
A shower means standing on a wet floor for the whole wash, raising your arms to your hair, and reaching down to your lower legs and feet or around to your back. Squeezing bottles and holding a slippery bar of soap add a grip demand, and an arm in a cast adds the job of keeping it dry. Which of these is the sticking point decides whether the answer is sitting down, reaching farther, or covering up.
Which is closest to yours?
- I can only use one hand Showering with one hand
- I can't bend down or reach Showering when you can't bend or reach
