Bathing With Ease?
Honestly, one thing I really struggle with, in the home is bathing.
I’ve spoken before about my issues in this area, I actually rang for another OT to come out earlier in the year which I am still waiting on. I was told as our current situation is deemed unsafe, I should sit on the toilet and strip wash.
Now if you have ever had to strip wash, it doesn’t leave you feeling particularly clean and don’t get me started on those no water shampoo hats! I tried one once and OH MY, it left my hair worse than before.
That said it isn’t a situation that has to go forever. There are companies out there offering bathing options that help people with limited mobility or the elderly generations.
Walk-in Baths.
One thing I really miss is having a bath.
Getting in with a bath bomb and just relaxing for a while. There’s nothing quite like it is there?
What is more walk-in baths have come such a long way in recent years. I mean just check out all about this one from Premier Bathrooms, perfect for those who want to work on their chakras. How cool is that?
One thing I like about the bath collection is they offer different types, for different mobility options.
From those which you can walk in and just sit in, to those which you walk into and then you lower yourself into, which look a lot like a traditional bath.
Walk-in Showers.
Walk-in showers are of course the most commonly known bathroom change for people with limited mobility, that alongside a full wetroom.
They offer a place to shower with ease and often come with a stool which means you can be safer when washing.
And sometimes all we need is a good shower, isn’t it?
What I love though is there is a choice. Something for everyone no matter what their mobility levels are, as sometimes when you can’t do things, you feel as though you have no choice.
You just need to work out what is right for your situation.
Did you know there was so much choice when it comes to accessible bathing options? Would any be of use to you?

I love a good bath time. It’s just that with kids, young kids, I hardly have some private time for many years.
Mommy Sigrid here. 🙂
I suffer with chronic pain, but I can still get in the bath. Having said that I only do so when my husband is in the house, as I have a horrible habit of falling over. I hope you’re able to sort out your bathing issues soon. I know how much relaxing in a bath can help with pain.
I have to admit I only do a shower when my other half is around as I worry it’s a shame isn’t it.
I have a shower over the bath but I know the time is coming when I won’t be able to get in. 🙁
It’s so hard isn’t it 🙁 it feels like just the simple things are being taken away.
It’s true, there’s nothing like a warm relaxing bath. But what I would like is a nice rainwater showerhead installed.
I have to admit I really would love a good rainwater showerhead as well, they look amazing.
Love having a relaxing bath after a quite stressful day at work (I’m admin for the NHS!) So like a traditional bath. But a shower is good when you just need a quick wash, or you have woken up late! lol. These baths & showers are amazing x
There is something wonderful about both isn’t there. They definitely have a time and place.
I like the idea of a walk in bath. It does look so very relaxing. My grandmother had one and she had a problem with it over time, unfortunately. Maybe she just couldn’t clean it right.
Oh no that’s such a shame! I am guessing cleaning them would be hard as you would still need to bend over.
I am a shower person, not so much with the bath so I would very much love a nice walk-in shower. Spacious enough for me to sing and dance. lol
It would be wonderful wouldn’t it – I’ve stayed in some beautiful locations where I wish I could take the shower home lol.
When I worked as a carer I remember who uncomfortable strip washes were for our patients until we had a walk-in bath, everything changed.
They are horrid aren’t they – they don’t leave you feeling any better than before and just sad you can’t clean properly on top.
We have a bath although only little J uses it. The rest of us use the walk in shower which is perfect to feel refreshed and awake.
Taking a bath, especially after a tiring day is such a relief. I also love clean and spacious bathrooms just like in the photo.
I definitely miss being able to have a bath one day perhaps!
I definitely would hate not being able to take a bath. I rely on it to relax my body after a long day.
It is something I’ve sort of got used to but really do miss.
They have such beautiful products and style!! I would love to have these options in our bath!
It is amazing all the different options you can get now isn’t it.
I have seen tons of ads for those walk-in baths and I hope they are still around when the time comes for me to need one. LOL!
I am hoping they only get better with time!
I love this concept. It’s nice that they have a variety of products for different mobility options.
Most definitely I am glad companies are thinking more about peoples needs.
I used to struggle getting in and out of the bath, so I had a wet-room put in, bathing is so much easier now
I bet that is such a relief to have things a bit easier on yourself.
I love hot baths, but a shower does the trick as well. More so with the right showerhead.
The showerhead can make all the difference can’t it?
I love showers. That’s when I come up with the best solution to things.
Sometimes they are so refreshing aren’t they a nice way to unwind!
Showering with ease is what everybody deserves. Nothing starts and ends the day like a goody goody shower. Thanks for referring me to the stores.
Most definitely I think it’s just one of those things we take for granted until we can’t.
I just had my master redone, it is wheel chair accessible but also a walk in shower. I wish I had a rain style shower though!
I bet that is so nice! What an awesome sort of shower to have had popped in!
I love that there are solutions for everyone. I was glad to know about these options!
There really is something for everyone these days which is great.
The walk in Bath and wet rooms are fantastic, my fiancé’s parents have a wet room with a seat for my father in law who has skin cancer, diabetes and really struggles, we have a bath with an over head shower which is convenient as our children love to bath and we prefer a shower, but my fiance suffered a heart attack last year resulting in heart failure and needing a transplant so we need a walk in shower or wet room, he doesn’t like to lay in the bath, at the moment I have to help him which he finds a struggle as he’s always been so independent and is only 43 xx
It is amazing how much more independent it makes you feel isn’t it. I’m hoping I get something which helps more soon.
Oh I wish we have a tub so I can relax for a few minutes or hours, maybe? But I might not be able to use it often so I am okay with shower.
Perhaps one day your get to have a tub as well! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Probably in my top 5 rooms within the house. I’m a shower man myself rather a bath. These do look very nice indeed.
It is a very important room within the home isn’t it!
We have an old fashioned claw foot tub and walk-in shower. The shower is great (even though it isn’t fancy,) but the tub is a little tough for me to get in. A walk-in tub sounds intriguing.
Oh now that sounds beautiful! I would love to have a really nice looking bath – not that I could use it lol.
Glad that they offer so many choices. I would love to have a walk-in shower and a tub because sometimes I just prefer a shower and sometimes I want to relax in a tub.
They do a mix where you can have a shower above as well which I think is great!
