Whether you’re an ice-cold Wim Hof devotee or an extreme-steam junkie, we can all agree that there are few things more disappointing than a lacklustre shower. From painfully unreliable temperatures (hot then cold then scalding – sound familiar?) and puny pressures to flimsy shower heads, a joyless shower is barely worth disrobing for. Yet it’s an experience many of us face every single day – gritting our teeth each morning as we lather up.
Considering that many of us (62%) bathe or shower at least once a day, and spend seven to eight minutes in the shower, the number of us tolerating mediocre showers seems puzzling. Particularly when you consider that swathes of us have already invested in serious digital upgrades around the home to make our lives easier – from robot vacuum cleaners to smart lightbulbs, virtual AI assistants and video doorbells (even our pets now have their own security cameras). Yet here we are, still lagging behind in the shower stakes.
