Does SoSoak have to be used in a shower? Can it be used in a bathtub?

SoSoak was designed to be a safer alternative to regular shower chairs, therefore it does need to be used in a flat surface bathing area, such as a standard shower. Using in a bathtub is not recommended because of potential slip or fall risks, as well as drastically reducing the stability of the chair. 

What is the seat height?

The front of the seat is at 18” above the floor line, and the back of the seat is at 16”. The slight angle of the seat is what allows water to collect and pool in the uses lap.

What size shower does SoSoak fit into?

SoSoak was designed to fit into the standard shower size of 30” wide by 60” deep. At its widest point (the base of the legs where they meet the floor) SoSoak is 23.5” wide.

Do I have to use it with the attached shower hose for it to be functional?

Nope! You can simply use this as a shower chair, and use or not use the drainage plug or included shower hose as you see fit.

Who can benefit from SoSoak?

ANYONE! Soaking your "bottom" (perineal area) in warm water, also known as a sitz bath, can offer several health benefits, primarily by improving blood flow, aiding in cleansing, and promoting relaxation. It can be particularly helpful for relieving discomfort and promoting healing in the anal and genital areas

Is SoSoak covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, personal bathing devices such as a shower chair are not covered by insurance. We are however an eligible HSA/FSA purchase and can be fully reimbursable if you have either of those types of accounts. 

Can you use SoSoak with multiple people?

Yes! The SoSoak Shower & Sitz Bath Chair is flame sealed and completely non porous, therefor can be easily cleaned with an antibacterial wipe or mild soap and water between uses/users.

Can you use additives in the water while soaking?

Yes, permitted it is recommended or approved by your doctor. Epsom salts, PH balanced soaps, and vinegar can all safely be used in the SoSoak basin.

What is the return policy?

If SoSoak Shower & Sitz Bath Chair is not a fit for you, you may return your unused chair in its original packaging, with the accessories box unopened, within 14 business days from delivery to receive a full refund. Customers are responsible for return freight.

Why does it cost so much?

SoSoak is a medical-grade soaking system — not just a seat — designed for hygiene, comfort, and healing in situations where a regular chair or sitz bath doesn’t work. It’s made in the USA from durable, rotomolded materials (the same kind used in hospital equipment), and built to last for generations, which a $40 chair just can't do. Additionally, to make this chair a single piece design for ease of cleaning and durability, the manufacturing process is very complex and labor heavy.

As someone who went through 3-4 different shower chairs a year while caring for my own ailing parents, the upfront cost of the SoSoak chair is still less than what I paid for all of the other chairs without any of the benefits or quality.

So yes, it’s more of an investment — but it’s designed to replace multiple cheaper products and offer true comfort and dignity.
