I don't want to frighten your family more, but shower NEVER is safe. Unlike lightning, slips and falls in the bathroom are quite common and sometimes result in death or lifelong injury.


Smaller bathroom will resolve this to avoid total fall to the ground.


Sponge bath lying down in insulated closet is safest option


Even better, there is a way to avoid every risk and save water...


Let me tell you about the flesh-eating bacteria living in your sponge. You better microwave it beforehand.


I've heard in California that will cause cancer.


good that our ancestors didn't know about all this, they would just kill themselves right away sparing us all these enlightening discussions


There is a chocking hazard with the sponge.


Attach it to a 10cm long string with something wide at the other end, so in the event of accidentally swallowing it (and ignoring the "why/how"), you can just pull it out. Problem solved.


Just make sure to not leave it in the driveway and it'll be fine.


I would guess the kind where you shower standing in a bathtub are much more risky than just a plain flat floor shower?


IKEA Patrull (the green crocodille bathtub mat) is the easiest solution.


Nobody's frightened. We enjoy the storms. :)
