Hi,I haven't had any issues just pulling the shower curtain across the seat face abd back into the tub on both sides. The deep channel around the whole seat drains/catches any water that might get by the curtain and returns it to the tub. I've never had a leak outside the tub.

We route the shower curtain between the backrest and arm rest. Initially, my wife would place a towel around the base leg outside of the shower but we found there was little or no water coming out on the floor. There is a drain channel which seems to capture most of the water.

My husband can stand. So he gets into the bathtub using the transfer bench. Then when he is in the shower, he stands. So the bench is toward the back of the shower, away from the shower head. I don't know if this is your circumstance. With this said, there has been no problem whatsoever. I hope this helps.

You are very welcome. We had a different type of bench prior to this. I am so glad we changed out and bought this product. Feet don't stick to the tub yet doesn't slip and so much more comfortable for my wife to sit on.

No, although the feet design on this is similiar and I don't think I'd like it as well. The one I purchased is very stable with no movement and the handle is a help also. This one appears to have holes in the seat for a drain which doesn't help sliding across , no handle to grip and more importantly no channel to drain away the water.

I too had very little spillage. Theere's a channel that directs the water into the tub. I needed to change the nozzle on the shower to waterfall. The spray setting sent water everywhere. I wasn't afraid to use this study seat.even when there was no one else home.

Simplicity makes a SPLIT shower curtain for transfer benches!! I originally saw the item on CareProdx.com. Haven't checked out other sites for it yet. Planning on buying a transfer bench---hopefully the Moen DN7105, and I plan on purchasing the split curtain.

Unfortunately no one else is ever going to benefit from these kind peoples answers to your question--because you REMOVED your original question to yell THANK YOU AGAIN to a bunch of people who you already thanked. If you could just retype your original question more people would benefit...just sayin. ;)

I leave the outer curtain over the edge of the tub, then pull the inner liner around the arm rest on the right and down into the tub. Have no problem getting water outside.

I just loaned my bench on Dec 31. It fits across the standard bath tub; I agree with previous answer--I would only use it with the hand rail.Two legs go into the tub; two legs stay on the floor just outside the tub. I recall that we elevated one side a small amount to accommodate getting into and out of the tub on the bench.

I broke both ankles and had to use a wheel chair and a transfer bench worked very well. When I could stand just to move I used the shower seat. I am small and like the shower seat but it does not feel as "sturdy" as the bench. Hope that helps!

Your questions doesn't really make sense. All you have to do is pull it down and let the water be deferred to the shower head.

Barb, did it occur to you that the advice you conveyed was less valuable than the time you wasted in typing it? Probably not.Let me clarify my original question for the Barbs of this world. Would someone that has the cup that came with the unit kindly pour water in the cup up to the line, then pour that volume of water into a measuring cup and post the actual measurement? The best measurement Waring would give me over the phone was "fill up to the line" which, without the cup, is about as useful as advice from Barb.

Dear Liz, Have the same shower mirror - and love it - it works wonderfully well - but the hinge on mine stopped holding the mirror - when full with water - after a year or two. I have a very small bottle - about the size of a medical prescription vial - sitting permanently on the shelf BEHIND the bottom edge of the mirror. This way - the mirror is in the perfect position for me to shave. As if I just raised the bottom of the mirror a click or two. Have left the small bottle on the ledge for 2 years and all is well. Give it a try.....Michael...from Montréal Canada

How big is the sink? How big are you? How close is the sink to the shower door? On what side of the shower is the door installed? How do you define "easily?" (Get the idea? Also, your question implies that the shower might be hard to enter now but might be easier to enter if there WERE "a pedestal sink to the right of it . . . " Do you mean like "to hold on to the sink for support when entering"?)

One of the comments I read said it was nontoxic & that the best way to do it in the tub is with your feet & a sponge! Well that's what finally made it cleannnn for me & my feet are none the worst for the wear plus I do it in the shower so its only a few minutes & really only once a month!

The answers you received so far are a bit biased toward to purchase of the product... and mostly common sense. I was thinking if purchasing but then I realized it's very easy to clean the tub, very easy to make a leak proof seal by adding anything plastic (zip lok bag, plastic, etc) to the drain plug to prevent leaking, and you can easily cover your tub with your shower curtain and some tape to keep out dust, bugs, and everything else... also in regards to aerosol contamination, just don't spray aerosol or chemicals near it. Problems solved!

Are you asking if the sink is too big? I don't think so - seems some folks just use the bathtub! I measured the plastic tub I use (which I put in the bathtub) - it is a 12"x17" rectangle that is 12" deep. I can wash a load of undies, or a couple shirts and slacks or a queen sheet in the tub without even filling it clear up. I would think if you use a laundry sink, which might be bigger, you would just keep the water more shallow. You can tell when you have the water high enough to plunge the clothes around easily. In fact, I was just reading the newer reviews here and I like the idea of putting a laundry basket inside the washing tub so you can lift out the clothes to empty the water. You could certainly do that inside a laundry tub! Also, I just did a couple loads yesterday and am still enjoying the mobile washer - short handle and all. My handle has not loosened, but I'm sure I can fix it if it does. I really do like this device - it keeps my inner hippy chick alive in my social security aged body!

I had the same problem. Bigger issues were that the base doesn't roll all that easily.. Almost better off bolting a bench to the tub.. Not great for the tub.. But way safer..

That's what we did. Just a pair of scissors. Shower curtains are cheap anyway. If you have a nice one get a cheap one and just cut it at the slides. I even took the curtain and sewed the edges so it would be smoother works fine. Pop is gone now but I still keep it in the tub, I may need it I ain't getting any younger myself. When you get used to it it really is not in the way. Hope that helps you decide.

YES! We recently got a water softener - having a textured bathtub, I didn't think anything of it until my 2 year old was taking a bath and jumped while in the tub, slipping immediately (luckily I was there and caught him). I realized that we needed to get a non-slip mat that wouldn't move and the suction cup ones just didn't suction. We made the purchase and concerned with the textured tub - contacted the seller to find out and were reassured that the back was designed for it. Not only can my son jump in the tub without slipping now, due to backing the mat doesn't move AT ALL. Well worth the cost! YES!

Did you find a cushion that fits that you bought (as opposed to made yourself)? I am not one to make my own but have been trying to find something online that works outdoors (i.e. sunbrella material in case of a sudden summer shower). Love the idea of adding a cushion. Suncast could make a tidy sum if that offered that option. Thanks.

Thank you for your note. Wash off after your mud bath either in the bath or shower, preferably with a shower to wash all the mud off. No need to shower before the mud bath. Kind regards,

Good question and I am glad to answer and be part of the Amazon Community. What I did with mine, because I had the SAME situation, is that I installed it BEFORE the shower unit and it works great. Of course dont pull.... or handle the shower head rough after installation and use PLENTY (like 5 times around) of plumbers tape. This is a great product provided by the BEST selling marketplace on EARTH ! AMAZON !!!
