    I used this trick while I had a shower bench and it worked like a charm. My plastic liner came from Dollar Tree and I didn't mind cutting it up at all. Thank you so much. Loved the transfer bench too, but am so glad to return to showering standing up.

    I'd say where you cut and stops just put some good tape on the outside so it doesn't separate more seems to have worked well for us😊

    Suggest applying clear packing tape lengthwise on the part of the shower curtain tucked in the gap of the shower chair ……these curtain are( mostly thin and tear easily) will make easier to slide into the middle of the shower chair

    I don’t believe it. Because Homebound visiting nurse OT never mentioned this in Jan 2019.My small shower vertical. But transfer seat was out of way. I tried it with OT with my clothes on when we got one. Never used it. I donated to senior center with this brand new never used . I had to get another another shower seat. It was so hard for me to transfer.
    Can you demo for vertical shower with low bottom unlike high bathtub, with seat? Transfer seat same way as bathtub? Abs shower curtain work sane way to but shower curtain will move and water leak. How? Demo?
    I am curious. Do homebound visiting nurses and OT nurses must know how with like this transfer seat in shower ( no bathtub) ? Right?
    I asked shower grab grin on shower wall with sucker. When I see red. I have to remove it and clean and put it back on shower wall to see green on. It still helps me a lot to assist. I still use the small circle shower seat. My shower is very small. I am not going upstairs for the bathtub. Back in 2019 I used wheelchair in first floor…. Can you also demo wheelchair in bathroom ? I borrow nursing home rehabilitation wheelchair but bug mistake. It didn’t fit into my bathroom door!!!!!
    I am curious about your demo with showing how to use , etc.
    What s about bathroom sink faucet the ball knob pull on and push it closed. Have any rubber cap on ball knob somehow? Not have like tar in medical supply store at all! Even Home Depot’s store if lucky have. None! Do u have that rubber cap grib for sink faucet knob ? Info please where to get it? Mine wet hands slipped up. Hurt my wrists and elbows abs shoulders.
    Thanks!!!
