A bath stool, also known as a shower stool, is a portable, seat-like device that provides a safe and stable place to sit while showering or bathing. It is particularly beneficial for people with limited mobility, balance problems, or other conditions that make it difficult to stand for extended periods. Bath stools are designed for comfort and safety, often featuring adjustable height, non-slip features, and durable, rust-resistant materials like aluminum or plastic.

Materials:

Often constructed from lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum, plastic, or wood, which are easy to clean. 

Features:

Adjustable Height: Allows users to customize the seat to their specific needs. 

Non-Slip Tips: Provides stability and prevents the stool from sliding. 

Drainage Holes: Some designs include drainage holes in the seat to prevent water from pooling.

Improved Accessibility: Makes bathing more accessible for people who cannot stand for long periods. 

Stability: Offers a stable base for individuals who need extra support. 

To use a shower stool, first adjust its height so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are slightly below hip level. Then, back up until the stool touches the back of your knees, and sit down by bending your knees and lowering your body, using the chair's armrests or the wall for support. To stand, push up with your legs, using the armrests for stability, and step out of the shower. 

Before You Shower 

1. Prepare necessities:

Have your soap, shampoo, and towel within easy reach before you get in the shower.

2. Turn on water:

Turn on the water and adjust it to your desired temperature before you sit on the stool.

Getting Into the Shower 

1. Position the stool:

.

Place the shower stool in a stable position within the shower, ensuring its rubber-capped feet don't slip on the wet floor.

2. Back up to the stool:

.

Turn around and step into the shower, then slowly move backward until the back of your knees touch the edge of the stool.

3. Sit down:

.

Hold onto a grab bar or the wall for support, then bend your knees and lower your body until you are seated.

4. Ensure proper height:

.

Check that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are slightly below hip level, as this indicates the correct height.

Showering 

1. Wash yourself:

Use the stool to support yourself as you wash your body. A long-handled sponge can help you reach your lower legs and back.

2. Keep items accessible:

Ensure your soap and sponge are within reach to avoid bending or twisting your body.

Getting Out of the Shower 

Stand up: Using the grab bars or the wall for support, push up with your legs to stand.

Move your feet: Bring your feet to the floor and step out of the shower, minding the step.

Important Reminders

Stability: Ensure the stool is stable and level before each use to prevent accidents. 

Drying: Dry the stool after each use to prevent water buildup and damage. 

Seek assistance: If you have difficulty using the stool or need extra support, consult an occupational therapist for advice on grab bars or other equipment.
