Getting out of the tub

So I have a nice soaking tub but I can't get out of it! Does anyone have any solutions?

  1. A soaking tub sounds amazing, until it's time to get out of it (haha) but you're certainly not alone in having this problem. A few things that can help are adding grab bars or a strong suction bar for support, using a transfer bench or small stool so you can stand up in stages, and putting a non-slip mat on the bottom for better grip. Here's also an article with a few recommendations from our members you can consider- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/community-share-devices-coping. Hope this helps and you're able to find a solution that works for you! Kindly, Latoya (Team Member)
