1. It is not easy to shower with only one leg. So, most people use a shower chair or seat. You can also use it when drying off.
2. In the evening, wash your residual limb well with hot water and soap, rinse it thoroughly and dry it vigorously to promote your blood circulation. Prefer to shower in the morning? Use cold water because hot water will make your residual limb swell and your skin softer. This can result in an unpleasant experience if you have an entire day with a socket and prosthesis ahead of you.
3. Some people find it easier to get around the bathroom with a walker. If you have experience using crutches, this is another possibility. Just make sure that you don’t slip and fall!
4. Most people install handrails next to the toilet, but a handrail in or next to the shower can also be useful, such as when standing up from a shower seat.
