    Bathing Problems

    I have recently had back surgery with hardware, cages and fusion. I am looking for something to aid me in showering/bathing my lower half from the waist down, and not bend over at all, have a shower shower chair and it helps. But I need something to help me reach without bending over or calling my husband.

    Thank you .....

    I use a back scrubber, a long-handled one. I wet myself, then the brush & then put some shower gel on it. It is not ideal, but it helps a lot. You can also drip some shower gel onto yourself, then brush.

    Hi,
    I also had this problem when I had an accident then someone suggest me to use long handle scrubber so that you do not have to bent or tilt down to wash your body parts. one can also use only water to the covered part of your body.
