Last night my mother suggested I show people how I get in and out of the shower. I was like, “ma! You want me to post a nude video online? That’s a little much, don't you think?” She went on to explain that I can demonstrate with my clothes on, which obviously I knew but it’s always nice to scare her for a minute anyway. #goodtimes
Since I should probably wash my hair anyway today, I figured why not show my luxurious straight locks one more time. Again, this is out of my comfort zone and kind of boring but I guess people might be curious so, why not?
In case any of you voyeurs decide to zoom in, that’s not dirt, you weirdos. I rinse out my hair dye in there so I draped a *towel over the seat for aesthetic purposes.
Anyway, I normally transfer onto this seat and pull off my big girl panties while the water warms up. I use a hand held shower handle because it’s way easier. It’s also much better than the in wall version (whatever that’s called) because I would either get onto a seat and then turn on what is bound to be ice cold water and let it drench me while it warms up OR get in while it’s running which is kind of crazy because water is blasting you in the face while you’re still trying to move around and get situated.
Any-who…once I’m on the chair I kind of scootch it to the middle so my husband doesn’t bitch at me for soaking the floor - which I usually do anyway. Then I wash myself with these totally amazing, natural, handmade soaps (shoutout to Scentsible Suds and to me for coming up with this shameless plug!) Then I scootch back over, dry myself off, and lift myself back out.
Admittedly, once in a while for no apparent reason I don’t put on my brakes and slow-fall to the wet ground getting out then do a very dramatic slip-slide-lift combo repeatedly to get out.
Also, this the first roll in shower I have ever had the pleasure of having in my home. (Thanks, Don!) Otherwise, the process is similar, but different. I’ve had a chair that sits in a tub which is the same idea but a longer ‘jump’. I’ve also had a step in shower with a chair inside and glass doors instead of a curtain that I religiously banged my fucking knees against daily for three years.
In related news, if you’ve actually wondered how I shower (awkward) you probably also wonder how I use a toilet (even more awkward). I won’t be adding a visual, just know it’s the same exact idea, different seat.
I mean, honestly, it’s pretty boring, but I guess it’s something most people don’t think about - so now you know!
*if you love this towel design, you can find one on any poolside lounge chair at the Royal Lahaina 😉
I have no clue how to post a video so check it out on my Facebook or instagram page :)
