If you have a shower with a fixed shower head....

[LidlDonkey]

How do you wash your nether regions? DH has just moaned at me because I hate staying anywhere that doesn't have a shower head you can move, for this reason.

I totally under what you mean OP. When I stayed in a certain budget hotel about 5 years ago,I discovered that the shower head was fixed. I spent all day feeling uncomfortable because I hadn't been able to rinse properly. I am disabled (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis) and am a bit overweight,so find it very difficult to rinse those,um,awkward to reach bits without a movable shower head,because I can't can't move my wrists and shoulders easily.
When I stayed in a hotel last year,I emailed them beforehand asking what sort the shower heads were. I mentioned that I was disabled,and they emailed me back saying that they would put me in one of their disabled accessible rooms (even though I'm not in a wheelchair) as their disabled access rooms had wet rooms with movable shower heads.

Rainfall showers were designed by men, for men, clearly. Like so many things in life!

I don't like them, but when forced to use them, I just use my hands and smoosh about a bit to make sure the water gets everywhere it needs to.

Well the water still goes all over your body so you just collect the water in your hands and wash that way. We have a detachable head on the wall too but never use that. I'm sure I will to wash DD when she's old enough for showers.

For those asking how to clean a shower screen, get a squeegee and use it on the screen after every shower. It takes seconds.

Then once a week (probably going to get called a heathen for that!) crack out some Windolene and a micro fibre cloth. Easy.

I’ve never hosed down my bits with a shower head. Bit extreme. I use a cloth like a normal person

This is why I have both!

Much easier for a quick rinse.

I rarely wash my hair in the shower so a standard fixed one would be awful. Although the kids like it.

I have both but we are currently having our bathroom redone due to an issue with our existing one (which to be fair was last done in 1989) and I am having a turkish/japanese toilet (bidet toilet) which has a shower head in the toilet. I am very excited about my toilet!

We have both. I like to use the movable shower head and dh and my sons like the rain shower. Which figures.

If some people don't find it necessary to have a removable shower head then fine, don't take it off the wall. Fixed ones don't give you the choice, removable ones do.

I have a large fixed shower head and a smaller removable one. I only use the removable one for cleaning the shower or when I'm dyeing my hair, but I'd always choose both when planning a bathroom.

I do a headstand on a flannel to stop my head slipping and free up a hand to get to the relevant areas.

Concerning how many people are now saying "well I wouldn't get a fixed head because I can do handstands"

Why are some people saying this is a strange question? It makes perfect sense to ask it to me.

Why does it have to be an either/or dilemma? If you have a removable head (the shower, not you yourself!), then you also have a fixed head, surely? Fixing it in is just cutting down your options for no reason at all.

Oops, I pretty much repeated what Menubar had said there.

Thanks for asking this question. I think it’s a genuine problem for women. I’m with you. I will not book hotels or accommodation with fixed shower head.

LOL, I love it!

Men also like to be able to wash and rinse their nether regions by taking shower head down. If my husband had done a headstand and slipped he'd have broken the whole bathroom (big tall chap).
