This tallhack can improve your life substantially – use a shower head extender to make your shower fit your height.
While browsing Instagram with Tallsome, I came across a lot of people, mostly tall guys, who didn’t quite fit into their showers.
Besides planes with too little leg room, the low shower heads are probably among the most frequent #tallpeopleproblems on Instagram.Being tall seems to be a relatively new concept, since older houses never feature showers that that are appropriately high mounted.
There is a solution to the shower problem
You can actually easily fix your shower by installing a shower head extender. Instead of me explaining every step, I’m gonna recommend this Youtube-guide with a tall man explaining how it’s done:
He says that he bought his shower arm in HomeDepot, but I can’t find the exact same as he is using – check out this HomeDepot search on shower extender. However, I found this Swan Shower Extension on Amazon, which is $25 dollars and looks a little better than the one in the video.
