Find someone who will install a Japanese bath in your house.
This turns the whole room into a waterproof shower stall in which a tub is optionally placed. So you can just walk into that room and stand wherever you please.

I have one of those. Having water everywhere, especially when it’s hard water, isn’t as much fun as it sounds.

I feel like I’d be cold all the time. My shower is tiny but it gets nice and steamy-warm

Put the exhaust fan on separate switch and don’t use it while you’re in there. That’s what I’ve been doing, most Japanese baths are wired that way.
Older Japanese construction can have a small window to the outside to help with ventilation. The only reason it would be drafty is if that window is open/won’t seal properly or if the fan is pulling the heat out too quickly.

3 monthsI need to buy and install some of those no-slip rubber mat pieces in and around my tub. A couple years ago I slipped and cracked the back of my head, and was fortunately okay, but those events can be life-altering, or fatal.

Do people generally not walk into their showers? How else are you getting in them.

You’ve activated a memory of John Leguizamo dancing in the bathtub and I’m not sure I wanted to remember that.

Wait… What kind of shower do you have now? 🤨
What kind of shower isn’t walk-in? 🤔
I’m guessing a step in where they have to step over the side of the bath tub

Call me a grumpy stubborn old hacker if you want, but no thanks I prefer printf shower.

Could build a wheelchair ramp on the side of the tub so you can just roll on in

Once you have a walk-in shower, you’ll never want to go back. Huge improvement over tubs.

We just turned a closet into a big shower- almot 5’ x 5’. Now we walk around and have conversations in there in the morning. Also, I’ve had two knee surgeries this fall and it’s awesome to have the extra space for a temporary bench and for my honey to step in and take my crutches.

This is like the first thought that goes through my head when getting in a shower too!
Sometimes its just that I really want a bench.

I assume OP’s shower is built into a tub. Which means they have to step up and over to get in.
Shower stalls are just “walk-in”, yeah. But not everyone has those.

Don’t most american homes not have a bathroom with shower on the wall and a drain in the floor? What’s the point of having a shower stall or a tub?
Here’s mine:

Most American bathrooms you have a combo tub/shower. So you get the shower on the wall and use the drain in the tub. Since you have to step over the side of the tub to take a shower that’s not what many people consider a “walk-in” shower. In higher-end, generally newer construction sometimes they’ll have a separate walk-in shower and tub. Bathrooms with just a shower are somewhat uncommon. If you see a 3/4 bath listed in a house that’s a bathroom with just a shower and no tub.
I’ve considered getting rid of my tub and just having a shower as I never use the tub part, but as I only have one “full” bathroom supposedly having a house with no tub hurts the resale value. I might do it anyway, but also what I have is working fine and I’m lazy.

Do people actually use the tub? I’ve only seen and used ones in hotels for the novelty of it. I wouldn’t have use for one in my own home especially since I need to pay for the water.

No one said stalls. And any motion involving taking a step is walking.
This joke is getting away too much analysis.
