Showering with a shower bench or tub transfer bench can make showering much more relaxing and safe. The whole point of using a shower bench is safety. If you have balance or mobility problems, sitting down to shower is much safer than standing in a soaking tub. Seating is much safer than being on your feet in a shower or tub if you have vision or pain issues.
The shower bench or tub transfer bench can accommodate a user who has difficulty lifting legs to get in and out of the tub in a stable, balanced position. As a caregiver or a bather, your experience in the shower can be much safer and, therefore, much more enjoyable.
Advantages of a tub transfer bench
If you don’t usually use a shower bench when showering, consider these advantages and you may want to get one. Consider the shower stall size and the tub side height when choosing a shower bench. There are a variety of sizes and features available.
We recommend the kind that has a contoured plastic seat with drain holes in the seat because they are the easiest to clean. A backrest is reasonable but not necessary for everyone. Consider the balance and stability of the user when choosing one with a backrest or without the backrest. A padded seat is also comfortable but not required.
Make sure it's stable
A tub transfer bench with adjustable non-skid legs so you can get a stable height according to the layout of your bathroom. Once adjusted, make sure all snap adjusters are firm and secure. The bench legs are made of lightweight Aluminium, so the bench is lightweight and will not rust. Handles on the bench help handle the bench itself and grab it when sitting down or rising.
You are ready to enter the tub with your bench in a stable position. It is always best to involve an Occupational Therapist when using your bench for the first time. They can evaluate the user’s abilities and determine the safest way for the user to mount the bench. Here are the typical steps required to use the tub transfer bench. Have a caregiver or bather assistant with you at all times.
Steps for safe use
- Stand with the bench touching the back of your legs, stabilize yourself using hand holds on a bench or grab bars on the wall, and sit slowly. Don’t “flop” down on the seat.
- Scoot back as far as you can with both legs still outside the tub.
- Lift one leg at a time over the edge of the tub. Your assistant can help you.
- Position yourself so that you’re seated comfortably, all the way in the tub and you’re ready for your shower.
- Do not turn the Tap on or use the transfer chair wet in the shower or bathtub as it is an electrical item and can harm you if it gets damp and you sit on it.
- After you are finished with your shower, dry your feet to prevent slipping and repeat the process in reverse.
