I can never relax when I soak in a bathtub because, being 5’ short, my feet don’t reach the other end of the tub.
I’m redoing my bathroom and want to figure out if I need a short tub or if there are other ways to prevent slipping. I do not want to use a bath mat because they move around.
Please help keep my from drowning while I relax in my bathtub!
Thanks!

I have used those stick-on appliquesin the past instead of a bathmat with suction cups and that worked fine for me.
I think you need like a crate or something that you can wedge between your feet and the end of the tub.
I don’t think i have ever had a tub so slippery that i spontaneously slid down and drowned myself.
This is a good thing because the only time i use a tub is when im feeling so sick that i’m about to fall over or pass out.
They do make stick no no slip things for tubs, sounds like simplest solution?
The same way short people do everything else: with a ladder or stilts.
You could install a separate, small hot tub.
Or stop coating yourself with Crisco before baths.
I fold up a mid-size towel and put it under my ass in the tub.
A walk in tub, maybe, they seem so fun on the ads. Get a sit on elevator, while you are at it, and I will come for a long stay. I like the hot tub idea, also.
I could, but I’m spending a lot on this bathroom and was trying not to start putting stupid sticky things on my nice new bathtub…but it beats drowning! Thanks
Crate doesn’t go with my design motif, thanks for trying though!
Try using the tub to just relax when you’re tired…it works wonders! Thanks for the idea.
Seriously, I 've seen bath pillows at Bath & body works. That could really work, put it at your feet!
On a more helpful note, I could swear I’ve seen bathmats with suction cups on the bottom exactly so they don’t slide about.
Alternatively, aren’t there bathtubs with non-slip structures designed into them (think washboard or small ridges that don’t extend completely to the sides).
I don’t know how exactly, but I took baths when I was a little kid without a problem.
That’s not the same thing. Your upper body wasn’t as heavy as it was now, so there wasn’t as much weight pushing you along the tub’s plane.
Did you ever try to lay down and relax as a kid? If you were like me, you were sitting upright playing with your toys.
Good point. And the difference in size and weight is quite considerable in my case.
Yes, the bath mat with the suction cups. Though I don’t have issues. I’m quite tall and have the opposite problem.
I think Ambivilad has the simplest and perhaps most adjustable solution that takes no investment to try out.
Take shallower baths.
Toilet plunger up your waz. Take the stick off first.
