Modern Bathing: Showers, Modern Bath Cabinets and Discount Bath Vanity Cabinets
Nowadays, bathing it is more than just about keeping it clean or hygienic—but keeping it clean with style. The once upon a time days of bathing in the river with an empty coconut husks –save for maybe some indigenous tribes—are long gone. In this day and age, technology isn’t the only thing that is advancing, but even in the simplest aspects of human life, like bathing, and as previously said, it has evolved into something with style.
Perhaps a key characteristic of the 20th century in the ‘bathing’ process is the shower. It began in medieval Europe though, but their showers were mechanical. Water that was pumped by the person himself who was taking a bath. A long pipe is attached to the bottom of the tub filled with water. Then, a paddle board atop the tub with water is where the person stands on, pumping the water up into the pipe and water goes out through the other end. Eventually—and perhaps inevitably--it became a tedious process that led innovators to create a more convenient type of shower. This is the one we see nowadays, the showers attached on our bathroom walls.
Nowadays of course, showers have the same features: the pipe, the shower head where the water comes out. Through the years in the 20th century it has also evolved in style as human needs specialized. What used to be just showers overhead developed now into showers that can be detachable from handles. This allowed people to direct the water in whatever part of their body instead of just standing under the water. Another development was the steam showers. This allowed for smoother trickles of water to pass through the shower head for a more soothing bathing experience. This development particularly came to be with the rise of spas and massage salons. Consequently, showers developed a lot of fixtures to accessorize and customize them. Such are bendable and revolving shower heads, and others would be longer pipes. Thus, a better alternative to the usual one.
It goes without saying perhaps that with the development of showers, shower rooms also began to develop. The bathroom was no longer one single room to bathe in, but can in itself be divided into different sections: the bath tub, the shower room, and of course the toilet. Commonly in hotels, the shower part of the room also includes a bath tub. However, these separate shower rooms and bath tubs come in the more sophisticated types of homes.
Another key characteristic of the 20th to the 21st century bathing is the vanity accessories involved in the bathroom business. For instance, one can commonly find discount bath vanity cabinets attached to bathroom walls. These would typically contain the after-bathing products and necessities like towels, lotion, shaving creams or razors. Other homes would also store in their vanity cabinets necessities to clean the bathroom. Modern bath cabinets come in all sizes, but they would most likely be of moderate size containing a major compartment and other drawers.
