Listen having your hair in a middle part might be trendy *now* but when I was yalls age they were called “curtain bangs” and bitches would call you The Grudge
Other fashion shit some of us used to get side-eye for:
Wide-leg jeans
Wearing socks with sandals
Corduroy
Cropped shirts
Low ponytails
Having big glasses
Wearing sweatpants to school
High waisted pants
Shit that was cool as fuck:
Big chunky skater shoes
Tight fuckin pants
Longline shirts
Straightening your hair *constantly*
Raccoon tails
Loud neon and black patterns
Graphics of cute animals saying violent shit
Huge fucking bangs that mysteriously cover half your face
when the “10 tips on how to make showering easy for disabled people” list doesn’t include a shower chair or a shower/changing table or grab bars etc, i know they don’t care about us physically disabled people.
good for u that turning off the lights and lighting a scented candle instead and listening to music or put on a show and using a bath bomb etc etc helps u but like none of those tips are that beneficial for physically disabled ppl specifically.
it’s good that those tips are there but for once we’d love to be included.
ACTUAL tips on showering for (physically) disabled ppl:
grab bars or shower chair as ^^^ said
sponge bath or wipes for a quick clean
dry shampoo
sit in the shower
make sure the water isn’t too hot, especially my POTS folks! Temp changes make us pass out, reduce your risk of fainting or getting dizzy and nauseous pls
lay down immediately after ur done showering, seriously
no don’t get dressed first, give yourself a lil bit
if you NEED to get dressed immediately, do so sitting or laying down in bed
Compression socks after are a GODSEND
This one’s also aimed towards POTS folks, have a gatorade or liquid iv ready to down the second you’re out
clean bottom to top, because chances are ur energy to bend down will be higher at the start of your shower
for my ppl with inflammation, don’t discount epsom salt baths. they’re not for everyone but i find them quite nice
for ppl who live with other ppl that they completely trust, and who are afraid they may fall: You don’t have to have someone in the bathroom with you, but talk about leaving the door unlocked so they can get to you in an emergency, and let them know when ur in and out of the shower too
my fellow ehlers danlos ppl, the hot water WILL relax your muscles and that WILL result in a higher chance of dislocations during and after showering. Have all available braces at the READY and be extra careful pls
KT tape ppl, take your tape off in the shower or with baby oil. do NOT just peel it off dry skin for the love of GOD
That was way more than 10 tips but I do not care. Have a cookie <3
Adding to the excellent advice above:
Nonslip bath mat. And I don’t mean that pretty pebble nonsense, I’m talking an actual bath mat. Gorilla Grip has been the best I’ve seen so far. Foam and loofah mats can burn in hell.
Hose shower heads with a switch off setting can let you hit the pause button without dealing with the faucet (wonderous for dealing with those knobs from the 80s and 90s).
Got a dressing that needs to be kept dry? Press n Seal works like a charm, even on hairy skin.
For a bathroom lacking enough wallspace for a full on grab bar, a large towel hook can give that something to hold on for balance.
Med-Eq, MedShare, and LetGo are good go-tos for discounted shower chairs and bath board seats (good for tubs too narrow for a shower seat). Local second-hand medical equipment shops/non-profits are worth looking into as well.
