Why Walk-in Tubs Are for Everyone (and Not Just for Seniors)

It’s a common misconception that walk-in baths are only for senior citizens. While they can definitely benefit from these specialized tubs, other family members can also enjoy the convenience that these can bring, from young children to expectant mothers. 

Aiding Pregnant Women

Most pregnant women wish to soak their aching feet and backs in a warm bathtub, but this can be difficult during late pregnancy. Since a walk-in tub can be accessed with ease, pregnant women can enjoy the benefits of traditional bathtubs without the fear of falling. Not only that, but a walk-in tub can also make the postpartum period easier to handle. 

Ideal for Children

As a parent, bathing your children is a struggle. There’s also the risk of them slipping over once they step inside the tub. With a walk-in bathtub, however, you reduce the risk of slipping and falling, making it an ideal choice for kids who are just starting to bathe themselves. For peace of mind, you may also want to add anti-slip features and a latch locking system.

People Recovering From an Injury

Injuries can happen at any age and affect a person’s mobility. If a family member has recently suffered an injury, you don’t want them to struggle to get in and out of a traditional bathtub. A walk-in tub not only eliminates the risk of re-injuring other body parts, but also allows injured people to enjoy a nice, warm bath to help them heal faster. 

At-Home Spa Treatments

These days, many homeowners are enamored with the idea of a Zen-like spa experience in their own bathroom spaces. If you have this specific idea in mind for your remodel, a walk-in tub is a worthy addition to consider. You can sit down and unwind with a good book or a glass of wine while waiting for the tub to fill. You can even enjoy a soothing soak or facial – all in the comfort of your walk-in tub. In fact, some walk-in tubs contain pulsating jets to improve your bathing experience.
