Shower Sitters, Are You Out There? (lemmyunchained.net)

I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)

This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.

Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)

I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?

I broke my hip and was touch-weight bearing for nine months. The NHS provided a shower stool but after a few months I just hopped into the shower, I found standing on one leg preferrable to sitting down.
