Today, I’ll unravel the mystery ;-) Without curtain, there is just no way you can take a standing shower… I mean, if you are REALLY petite and thin, you might be able to stand up and direct the flow towards the back wall, but it’s going to be almost impossible not to splash around. So you’re going for solution number one, and decide to sit down in the cold empty French bathtub. Shower yourself keeping the shower very close to your body,  directing it slightly towards the back wall. It’s possible, not super comfy, but I’ve done it many times when there was not enough water to run several baths in a row, or when I was in a hurry. If you are washing your hair, and it is long, you are asking for trouble…… As you are shampooing, either: When you are ready to rinse, bend your head back, and holding the shower with one hand very close to your hair, brush the water off your hair with the other hand. It takes practice, but splashing can be minimal.

Enjoy your bath, then, when it is time to wash your hair: To rinse your hair very clean, or if your bath water was full of soap or terribly filthy (I don’t know… maybe you’ve been digging in the dirt all afternoon…) use the hand shower as described above. In this case, you might actually empty your bath as you are showering, so you actually end up taking a sitting shower after your relaxing bath… Or you can start with a sitting shower, wash the dirt off, then run a bath and relax… If you do have a shower curtain (un rideau de bain), you are in luck! These are rare in French homes. You can indeed take a standing shower, simply holding the shower with one hand. The cord might not be long enough for you to wash your hair, so you may just need to sit in the empty tub all the same… But at least, there will be warm steam, so you won’t freeze, and transforming the bathroom into a swimming pool will not be an issue. Don’t forget to place the curtain INSIDE the bathtub, or else you’ll have Niagara Falls :-)

Shower Curtain Raindrops 13 Piece Shower Curtain Set Charlton Shower Curtain SetIf having a shower after a long day at work wasn’t fun enough, it’s a whole of a lot better with some geeky designs or other creative ideas to make your bathroom a better place to be in. A bit of Psycho in the shower works well for everyone. Nothing gets you through a shower like trying to remember all the numbers and digits after 3.14. This entire bathroom is about Pac-Man, but there’s no doubt what the centerpiece. While it’s raining on you inside, your shower curtain character identifies with you, in a way. A nice idea to let you know you’re spending a little too much time in there, with the spikes beginning deflated and letting you know it’s time to start conserving water and shut it down when they’re… spiked.
