am i alone in thinking shower heads are too small?

    so i just had a shower, and i realised the whole time i have to keep moving in order to get water on both my shoulders.

    Now im a lazy man who would much prefer to stand there being pummelled with water without moving about. I thought it was time to get a new larger shower head, but i also thought that if i got a large one, i would lose any of the pressure and it wouldn't spread to the end of the nozzle

    Does anyone have this problem with their shower? Or am the only lazy person here who would rather stand still.....

    And don't suggest a bath to me...they don't work

    I'm too surrounded by water, and to feel comfortable you gotta sink low so your breathing mostly steam...gets a bit hot after a while. I don't mind the odd bath every now and then but im not a huge fan

    Maybe you can install a turntable on the shower floor, which will rotate you around.

    Take the thing off the wall ...or go to a car wash...or stand in the rain... Are you American by any chance?

    Yes, you are alone, unless you are a very horny girl who has been around the block with some well endowed porn stars.

    Who gives a damn whether the shower head is big or not?

    Unless you want to use it for purposes other than showering.

    Showers are considered a "time-saver" so think of the time saved in the shower with two shower heads..:D

    OP, I agree. In Australia they seem to have the right idea. Shower heads are about six inches in diameter and the water pressure is much higher. Can't beat it with a big stick, you're clean seconds after turning on the tap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,946 ✭✭✭red_ice


    and heres me thinkin a girl posted this one.. damn!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    I don't so much care about the size of the shower head, but I hate really weak showers where the water practically dribbles out of them. I love a really powerful showering practically battering the sh!te out of you.

    When I build my mansion I'm going to install one of those showers with all the separate jets of spray coming from all directions, plus a jacuzzi bath!!
    yum yum

    The other solution would be not to get a bigger shower head but to move the shower head further up, so the water is more dispersed when it reaches you.

    Ah but then you lose some of the pressure and it just feels like you're being rained on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 725 ✭✭✭pat kenny


    Yeah I hate standing in the shower, some parts of you body are really warm from the water and the other bits are cold cause no water is hitting them.

    If you elect me as supreme leader of the earth each and every house will have a larger shower head and higher water pressure.
