Editorial Review :
Deep tubs can pose a problem for short people or youngsters, when trying to stand up. Even with nonslip accessories on the bottom, the reach and grip can be difficult, particularly for the elderly. Make your bath and bathroom safer with a bath safety grip handle for the side of the tub. This handy feature allows for a secure grip by any size hand, and is designed to make a comfortable hold for those with arthritis. Provide that extra stability and security that your family needs for their own safety, with this easily mounted handle that detaches and packs away for travel, too. Suction attach, no tools necessary. Fits any tub/shower. 12 inches long. Each suction foot is 3 inches in diamete. Handle is 1 inch wide for easy gripping.

Question : What is the hottest bath (on average) an adult's body can stand before skin damage occurs 120, 130, more
I usually like my bath at around 110 degrees. If it drops below 100 degrees, it starts feeling "tepid" to me. My wife likes it around 100 though...110 feels too hot to her. Still, at SOME temperature, your skin would start to become damaged and you'd start to literally "cook" yourself. So, what is that magic number that we should not go higher than I know for babies and the elderly it might be much lower. What I mean is for average, healthy adults.
Answer:
Are you sure you like 110 I find most people can't even stand anything over about 107-108. Every degree counts at this point and we are very sensitive within a dregree or two as to what feels hot. I too think 100 is tepid but know that 110 is too hot, at least for me. You can get used to hotter water over time. Most people would consider a hot bath at 105. I think very hot water dries the skin and so that's not good, but I don't know about other damage. I've also known people to develop what's called pressure hives from too hot water and they are forced to take tepid baths and showers....from too much hot water exposure. I've been in hot enough water to turn my skin red but then it ends up feeling cold while very hot....receptors must get confused and it's not soothing. I bet first degree burns occur at around 120 but that's only a guess.
