I used this trick while I had a shower bench and it worked like a charm. My plastic liner came from Dollar Tree and I didn't mind cutting it up at all. Thank you so much. Loved the transfer bench too, but am so glad to return to showering standing up.
Suggest applying clear packing tape lengthwise on the part of the shower curtain tucked in the gap of the shower chair ……these curtain are( mostly thin and tear easily) will make easier to slide into the middle of the shower chair
Great tip!
I'd say where you cut and stops just put some good tape on the outside so it doesn't separate more seems to have worked well for us😊
Thank you. This Video helped me to shower / bathe my left leg amputee husband. ❤😊

Thank you Thank you for your tip on how to keep water in the tub with a tub transfer bench and a shower curtain.
You’re welcome!
@@EquipMeOT thanks for making this video. Would you know of the water leaks out where the curtain is cut if someone else uses the shower without the bench in the tub?
I have not had a problem with that unless the water is spraying right at the flap in the curtain.
@@EquipMeOT good to know. Thanks for responding.

THANK YOU 😬
You're Welcome!!
THANK YOU!! :)
You’re welcome!
Great idea- if someone needs assistance while showering maybe fold 1 section onto other and then tuck thru seat? Going to try it this week- thank you!
Great!
Thank you. My mom was just complaining about the water leakage.
You’re welcome!
This method works with a transfer bench in a tub but do you have any suggestions for keeping the water off the floor while using a transfer bench in a shower with just a small lip? HELP!!!
We didn't cut the curtain we already had. Just merely stuffed it into the crack between the first section and the second a little. Not a drop of water on the floor. So far so good
This is what I have been doing but, within a few showers, the cuts begin to rip upwards. Using secure plastic clips on the upper edges of the cuts will extend the life of your shower curtain.
What kind of clips?
Thank you for your video.
Question: If you have a new bathtub, would the "handicap chair" damage the new tub?
Great idea thanks…. They sell those curtains all cut out for outrageous prices. $67 last time I checked in Amazon
👌👌👌
Was curious can everyone else use it the normal way and not leak water?
Do have to cut my shower liner I like the way you do it but son does not so I can use help?
I don’t believe it. Because Homebound visiting nurse OT never mentioned this in Jan 2019.My small shower vertical. But transfer seat was out of way. I tried it with OT with my clothes on when we got one. Never used it. I donated to senior center with this brand new never used . I had to get another another shower seat. It was so hard for me to transfer.
Can you demo for vertical shower with low bottom unlike high bathtub, with seat? Transfer seat same way as bathtub? Abs shower curtain work sane way to but shower curtain will move and water leak. How? Demo?
I am curious. Do homebound visiting nurses and OT nurses must know how with like this transfer seat in shower ( no bathtub) ? Right?
I asked shower grab grin on shower wall with sucker. When I see red. I have to remove it and clean and put it back on shower wall to see green on. It still helps me a lot to assist. I still use the small circle shower seat. My shower is very small. I am not going upstairs for the bathtub. Back in 2019 I used wheelchair in first floor…. Can you also demo wheelchair in bathroom ? I borrow nursing home rehabilitation wheelchair but bug mistake. It didn’t fit into my bathroom door!!!!!
I am curious about your demo with showing how to use , etc.
What s about bathroom sink faucet the ball knob pull on and push it closed. Have any rubber cap on ball knob somehow? Not have like tar in medical supply store at all! Even Home Depot’s store if lucky have. None! Do u have that rubber cap grib for sink faucet knob ? Info please where to get it? Mine wet hands slipped up. Hurt my wrists and elbows abs shoulders.
Thanks!!!
If you already have the shower curtain tucked in then how do you get in?
Just tucking the curtain under the outside legs and assuring the rest of curtain is n tub works well too. No chance of curtain ripping.
Just put tape on the outside of it where the cut ends worked for us😊
Caregiver- I just lift the curtain up in the middle and put it in the top of the ‘gap’. But if you’re the person using the bench this might work better for you I guess.
Tuck in for every shower
The way your shower bench is arranged i don’t see how the person can get his legs into the shower because the vanity is in the way
In this bathroom, I have to remove the glass shower doors to position the bench properly. I’ve demo’d that in previous videos.
I bet no one will ever make a video showing a patient actually using this, i.e. fir demonstrative purposes fully clothed getting in and using this.
This msy be a very stupid question but how do you get onto the transfer bench if it has the shower curtain cut and folded in it? I don't mean to be duh about it i just can't visualize it. Help! Thanks for this informative video!
That piece going rip off over time
too bad our bench doesn't have that slit in it...
