Can I use it in my shower? I cannot walk on 1 foot after break/surgery for 13 weeks, so I need help getting in without slipping on one foot???

Yes, you can definitely use it in the shower. I do it all the time. However, not to take away from the mat, because of my experience of having a total hip replacement a few years ago, I was advised to put a horizontal bar in my bathtub/shower stall. I had my super do it. I have been grateful ever since. Between holding lightly onto that and using the rubber mat, even when washing my hair and closing my eyes, I don't worry about falling.

Mine is quite stable. I use a chair which makes the mat bunch up some but is still stable.

I would recommend something bigger unless you have a stall shower. This covers less than half of a full size shower. Something with more texture on the top would be better for your situation.

Yes, I have used it in my shower for over a year as I was concerned about my grandchildren slipping in the shower. It stays in place with a firm grip. A feeling of safety when getting in and out of shower also.

I'm a senior so I can't take any chances either. This was absolutely the first mat that didn't slip... I throw it in the washer to clean it. Ugly color but who cares? Highly recommend it!

yes... we first practiced with it in our walk in shower before we took mom-in-law to my brother-in-law's. They only have a tub. If your person can't lift their legs well, this is great to go over the 4" ledge of a walk-in shower - however - you can't have doors on the shower... only a curtain.

i would not use it to sit in the tub. I would not feel safe using it that way. I would only use it as a step to get into the tub.

Yes , you can use it in the shower. Open the slide doors to keep the cutting head clean.

I dont think that would be a safe idea. Unless you have carpeted bedroom. When I tried to excercise with the step, it kept on slipping. I almost fell backwards. Scary moment. Be safe

Yes, I'm using it in my tub for my husband. You have to be able to get your legs over the edge of the tub. Make sure it's anchored into the wall securely and it works like a charm!

I do not know if it can be used as a shower stool. I would imagine it could slip. It comes completely ready for use and is very sturdy

I only stand on it in the shower. My guess is that you could sit on it but I would imagine it would be uncomfortable.

Yes you can, but I prefer using it in the shower. Using this over the sink I found to be a bit more messy. I am very happy with this product and now only have to use it about 2-3 times a week

The rubber coverings on the feet and top are quite non slip. A very sturdy step stool. I wish it was a bit wider though. Also, it's pretty low to the ground. I guess i don't know if it's what you would want for shower use, but I think it's safe and will last a long time.

The water doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as movement. I have not had much luck with it staying on with or without the shower. It is good for a daily application, but you should expect to use additional tape or perhaps glue, which I have not yet tried. My application runs the length of my leg at an angle from mid thigh to my lower calf. It is not fully stretched, but just gently pulled and supposed to train my body to remove fuild from my surgical leg. :-(

I have a fiberglass shower tub one piece unit, I have mine on my left side. It is on the shower unit wall. I do understand what you mean about stability getting in and out. Follow the direction that came with the Super Grip Suction Handle. It is to balance you and not to take the weight. I do not shower without it. Before you get into the tub, make sure it is secured on a smooth surface.

Depends on how careful you are putting it on and off. I used it to shower pretty much daily for about two months. I was non weight bearing, so it never made contact with the ground under any pressure. The seal started to pull away during the last week, but I am a pretty big guy ( 6"2 and about 235 ) my calf size was about 14" plus the cast during this time. To extend the products lift, be very careful about pulling it around the heel of the cast / splint

I used the bench in the shower after I had foot surgery and could not put any weight on the foot. It got water in it & my husband drilled several small holes in a nonstructural support area of the bottom to drain it. We have also drilled extra holes in plastic lawn furniture so drainage was improved to avoid mildew.

Nope, it cannot be used in shower. There is a label on it which clearly indicates to keep the device away from water
