showers are painful
In my experience not every shower is painful. But every shower is definitely uncomfortable! The further the shower head is away from me the more uncomfortable it is. It’s not the water against my skin, it’s the overspray that hits me after initially making contact with another surface first. What makes it worse is losing body heat while in the shower. A little heater is a must for a shower! It doesn’t matter what the original air temperature is. I have to have a heater on to take a shower without pain. A handheld shower head also makes a difference. Being able to keep the water closer reduces the overspray pain. I purchased a handheld showerhead holder that suctions to the shower wall so it can be really low. It works great for kids too. I have to replace it every year or two, they don’t last forever. (They also make a permanent adhesive back version.)
