All New Things I Wonder About

cooby Mar 19 2007 08:57 PM

This is a serious question. I wonder this every time I see one of these things advertised. Do you have to sit in these things until the water drains out? I can't imagine that you'd be able to open that little door Any input would be appreciated, so that I can sleep at night and not lie there and wonder about this.

it's a shower w/a seat in it. just flashback to your youth (lock haven cooby) and you thought a shower would fix your massive hangover. once you were in, the shower would spin and you (i) would just have a seat on the shower floor. god i wish i had that in my dorm.

I don't know...some infomercial or something maybe. Anyway, yeah, it's a bathtub for old folks like pale John Kerry, there; so that they don't have to step up over the side to get in and out. That little door opens and they can just walk right in and sit down. Sounds like a plan except apparantly the poor old things would have to sit in it (naked and cold) while it filled up and then again while it drained, right? I mean, have you ever sat in a tub until it's entirely drained? I have, and it gets cold! (why'd I do that anyway?)

Yes, I have also sat down in the shower, as patona points out. And for the reason patona points out. Not that he was there or anything.

I don't think it fills up like a tub. I think, as patona said, you sit down and spray yourself with the shower nozzle. So there's no need to wait for it to drain.

There are ads for those in the back of the NYTimes Sunday magazine all the time. They're aiming it at older folks who either can't step over the side of a regular tub or just don't want to risk it with wet feet. As I recall, the ads kinda imply that it's used as a bathtub so Cooby's question has occurred to me in the past also ... although it's not like it's been keeping me up nights.
