Bringing The Pleasure Back To Showering | Showering Enthusiast

If you’ve ever experienced a cold, clingy shower curtain putting a damper on your daily routine, take note.

You get in the shower and the curtain blowing in on you is not only a nuisance, it’s just plain irritating.

Well that’s where Patrick Raymond, a former advertising executive, and his ShowerBow come in.

Raymond was standing in the shower one day with the curtain creeping in on him and began thinking of a way to find more knee and elbowroom.

His initial prototype was made out of a wire hanger and a standard office stapler as a counterweight. When he tilted the stapler forward, it pushed out the bow formed by the hanger. This crude design evolved into the ShowerBow.

“This simple device works when you need it, and tucks away when you don’t,” Raymond said. “With ShowerBow, you can trade in the daily wrestling match with the curtain for a more relaxing, spacious shower.”

There are a number of explanations as to why the shower curtain does what it does, but whatever the cause, the effect is annoying to millions of people every day. More.
