If you are looking for a showerhead with the ultimate in convenience and versatility, look no further than handheld showerheads. Have you ever tried one? They seem to be more common in Europe than within the United States. You can use this type of shower head in a mounted position, that is, attached to your actual shower pipe. Or as its name suggests, you can also hold it directly in your hand. If you use the hand held option, you will find that it lets you take a shower while you are seated or massage sore muscles with the streaming water. Using a handheld showerhead also makes other tasks easier. Think about bathing kids, or a dog, or even cleaning the shower stall. You really do have increased flexibility with these. Try it out!
