If you're looking for a way to make your showering experience more comfortable and safe, installing a sliding shower chair may be the answer. Sliding shower chairs provide support and stability while seated, making it easy to wash or shave without having to stand. They also help prevent slips and falls by giving you something to grab onto if you start to feel unsteady on your feet. Here's how to use a sliding shower chair:
1. Before getting in the shower, position the chair close to the edge of the tub or shower so that you can easily get in and out. Make sure that the brakes are locked before sitting down.
2. To sit down, simply back up into the chair until you feel it slide underneath you. You may need someone else to help guide you into position if you have difficulty moving around. Once seated, lock the brakes again for safety.
3. To stand up, first unlock the brakes then carefully lean forward until you're able to place your feet on the floor outside of the tub or shower. Use your arms for support as needed as you stand up straight. Reverse this process when seated again next time.
