Detachable shower heads should be the norm

PersonAndStuff · Dec 13, 2020

So much better for a small premium. Every part of your body can get a bit of water pressure instead of the light trickle of water flowing downwards.

Plus, my understanding is ladies can masturbate with them. What is not to love?

Well that escalated quickly lmaaaaao

But I agree with your argument

Maybe it's because I associate them with washing patients at the hospital but I don't really like them.

I have a nebia I got. Which I still haven't opened... Because we have hard water and I don't want to ruin it.

Agreed. You gotta wash your nethers.

I had butts on the brain when I entered this topic, so I actually read this as "so much better for a small perineum" and was like "yeah, maybe."

They're a must for sure. I love that Japan has relatively high-pressure shower heads.

I've also become a fan of waterfall shower heads. I really wish I could have one in my apartment.

So can guys if you get the right pressure and get that little spot under the head. The downside is cum mixed with warm water turns it into the consistency of chunky arts and crafts glue.

What? Man.. why isn't jizz more water soluble?? lol

Anyway, I generally don't like them because I have only experienced ones where the angle is off of hard to adjust precisely when you want to be handsfree.

I heard cold water is fine because it doesn't make the proteins contract or whatever. Maybe somebody could jizz for science and report back.

That's when you've gotta stomp the spunk curds down the little drain holes with your big toe.

Japanese showers use a different system than in the West. They share the same water source as the main faucet, which it's connected to with a hose.

OMG thats so simple yet great. Our fixed head is removable but its still a pain to unscrew and descale. I'd love a simple click on thing like that.

Same as Europe. For me there was no difference between Japanese showers and German ones. But first day in the states I was baffled about the fixed shower head.

ascii42 · Dec 13, 2020

I installed one with a fixed head and a detachable head last year. I can have the water come out of either or both. Normally I use the fixed head and just use the detachable one for cleaning the shower. The key when switching to the detachable is to remember that the water left in the neck is room temperature so you get a burst of cold before hot water starts coming out of it.

I gotta ask what this format for your posts is because I've seen you do it multiple times and it makes zero sense to me.
Is there meant to be an emoji in here that isn't loading or something?

Could you take a screenshot? Very curious what you see when you look at this ordinary looking post

Mukrab · Dec 13, 2020

I thought this was normal, im in europe. I hold the showerhead in my hands pretty much at all times when showering.

random88 · Dec 13, 2020

I think fixed shower heads are mostly a NA thing, I've rarely seen those in Europe.

Not just Japanese. Many parts of Europe too.

The US system with the fixed wall mounted head seems like a doozy.

Shadownet · Dec 13, 2020

I see your intention there OP. Bravo.

But I agree with your first point, they're a game changer for me. I feel like it's inadequate when I'm in a shower without one.

SpaceCrystal · Dec 13, 2020

Shower heads are great.

I miss European removal shower heads. American showers suck.

Tigress · Dec 13, 2020

As a short person who also is very nearsighted I hate them with a passion. They keep falling off their mount and then I have a hard time putting them back because they are so high up. Plus they make the shower head be much higher up and being short by the time the water reaches me there is not much pressure.

That's how it has worked everywhere I've lived here in the states, though the setup is slightly different than your image.

There is pipe "stub" up high for your shower head. In some places there might be a fixed shower head, but you can simply use your hands or a wrench and unscrew it. Feel free to install a detachable shower head, that's what I've always done.
The spout that fills tubs in the US is a diverter valve. That little button is for the valve, when it is in the down position water flows through the spout thanks to gravity. If you pull it up it blocks off the spout and water goes to the shower head.
As a result of the previous point they both share the same water source.

If we're going to talk about unusual things, I would say that the whole "wet bath" thing that seems common in Japan is unnerving. I know the way bathrooms are built in the US only the area around the bath/shower pan is going to be adequately sealed against water, and the only place I've seen a wet bath is on a boat.

Coagulate. It's basically like albumin, so think about an egg white or the white stuff you see when you cook salmon.

Doesn't yours have the height adjustable mount on a vertical rod?

I think the entire room is the shower cabin. Well, not quite, but kinda.

You can see it quite nicely here. The soap shelf on the left, the type of floor, etc.

Seems like a mess to clean up/dry. Also, I don't like having a mirror in there lol.

Pretty sure it just dries by itself, but I am told that it takes longer to clean because, well, it's more space.
Have you never seen this scene in Anime?
They go scenes where people outside tubs/onsen wash themselves all the time. I thought you're a huge nerd.

Extremely easy, coming from someone with minimal household repair skills - just twist it off, apply a little plumbers tape to the spout (or whatever the showerhead nub thingy is called) and twist the new one on.

It's the first thing I do in a new apartment; I can't imagine showering without a detachable head anymore. The few times I've needed to (hotels), it just feels wrong.

Yup, that initial burst of freezing water is something that is awful if you're not braced for it.

Yes, if the camera tilted down a few degrees there would be a drain in the middle of the room.
One thing that may surprise people is that families will often keep a cover over a warm bathtub of water and then each person would shower themselves clean, take a warm bath, cover the bath again and then rinse off with the shower. It's a bit like a mini onsen experience at home.
