 8:22am, 22 July 2025
Get up early in the morning and take a shower, cheer up and start a day of energy; take a shower after get off work, take a bath and take a whole day of dirty contact with the outside world; take a bath before going to bed, so you can relax your fatigue with water and heat. In addition to cleaning the body, the function of bathing can also promote blood circulation and relieve the body and mind. But do you know that our regular bathing habits actually hide unexpected dangers!

LagoonXudn Yuanwei.com is concerned about the safety of home bathing, and holds a "Bathing and Conditioning Survey", inviting the public to share their habits and postures of bathing, and also cares about how parents and family take a bath. At the same time, they understand and prevent accidental risks caused by moisture and slippage in the bathroom. The total number of people in the analysis was 246, of which 85% of the people who were standing and taking a bath was up to 85%, and only 13.8% of the people who were choosing to take a bath were sitting and sitting incorrectly, while the other people were sitting and standing incorrectly. The question paper shows that most people have noticed the problems that may be derived from moisture in the bathroom. Therefore, in terms of anti-slip measures, the top three options are: erecting anti-slip mats, changing anti-slip tiles, and placing bath chairs.

A woman in her forties usually takes a bath while standing and occasionally taking a bath in a bathtub. One day, I woke up like a wall in the middle of the night and suffered from falling due to slipping on the bathroom floor. I thought that falling accidents often occur on children and the elderly. I felt that no anti-slip warning. After falling this fall, I added a non-slip sticker in the bathroom. After taking a shower, I must open the window to keep the wind dry. In addition, I added a night light to see the walking line clearly.

With this injury experience, I pay more attention to home safety and also recognized the bath chair. The concept of "only hospitals will put a bath chair", sitting and taking a bath can increase stability and facilitate getting up and changing movements. The bathing helps the products are not limited to specific people, and helps the family wash their heads, bathing and feet safely.

Have you ever fallen in the bathroom?

The slippery floor hides the danger of slipping. As long as you don’t stand firmly during the toilet or washing, you will easily lose your center of gravity and fall, and will easily bruise and break the skin, severe fractures and damage to the head. According to the National Health Administration, the bathroom is the second place for home damage! Therefore, the public should pay more attention to improving the problem of slippery bathroom floors, and take measures to prevent slipping and injury, so that the bathroom can be used safer.

Everyone has their own specific bathing habits, such as: some people prefer to take a bath during the day or at night, bathe, brush your teeth or sing, which part to wash first, etc., and one is also "sitting in a bath stand". According to the survey, most people choose to take a bath while standing, and 13.8% like to sit and take a bath. The difference between the two is mainly "comfortitude". Taking a bath while standing is fast and efficient. Moving your arms can make your limbs stretch well; sitting and taking a bath is more comfortable and relaxed, and it feels like it is covered by a water column.

Let the bath be more safe and safe

Yang Zhongyi, director of the New Taipei Equipment Resource Center, said that in addition to personal habits and comfort, there are also "safety" problems. Taiwan's damp weather and bathing space are not dissipated, which can easily cause floor slippage and danger. We often learn about the unfortunate news that people slipped and fell in the bathroom. In order to prevent this type of accidental slippage in bathrooms, most people will do anti-slip, install handrails, change them to dry separation and various anti-slip stickers, so that the bathing will no longer be astonished!

The moisture and slippery bathroom makes people stand unstable, but there are also personal health problems such as illness and physical fitness. Some people feel dizzy when taking a bath due to temperature difference, or stand for too long and have hypotension in posture, and they react for a while but fall to the ground. The elderly cannot fall, but in fact, they are afraid of falling at all ages. Yang Zhongyi suggested that the anti-slip measures in the bathroom can also be used as an additional anti-slip line: place a bath chair to reduce the risk of slipping.

Bathroom chair highlights: height, armrests, backrests, and anti-slip

As the age, body condition and function changes, all require equipment to assist in independent life activities. Many people mistakenly believe that bathing chairs are specialized for children and the elderly, and are also suitable for pregnant women and those with limited mobility. A chair can greatly improve safety, sit quietly and enjoy the fun of bathing, ensuring a free and relaxed bathing time. As soon as Yang Zhong called out, the general design of the bath chair was gradually accepted, and safe and beautiful can enhance the quality of life.

How to choose a suitable professional bathing chair? Yang Zhongyi shared four key points: height, handrail, backrest, and slippage.

●The height of the chair should be higher than the knee and half lower than the thigh. This "golden ratio" does not require any effort to get up or sit down.

●Handrails and backrests can stabilize the body, and the body is slim on three sides. When standing up, the handrails can also help exert force, including holding a sling and pressing shower gel, which can be comfortable to support.

●The anti-slip mat of the chair foot provides good grip, and the anti-slip seat surface makes the seat more stable and protects the safety of the family.
