For new & expecting moms

Speed up and ENJOY postpartum recovery.

If your doctor recommends postpartum sitz baths, SoSoak is the most comfortable way to follow doctor's orders. Sit down and warm water soaks stitches, tears, and swollen areas, with no bending over a tub or perching on a toilet.

"It was an absolute godsend for postpartum recovery where fatigue and soreness made it difficult to take a typical shower."

Erin Kline · Verified buyer, new mom

Sound familiar?

Sitz baths help. The usual way to take them DOESN'T.

After delivery, the last thing a sore, exhausted body needs is a tiny plastic basin on a toilet seat or a tub you can barely get in and out of.

1

The toilet-seat kit

A thin plastic basin perched on a toilet bowl, with no temperature control and a bag and tube you can't really clean.

A full, warm basin molded into a sturdy chair
2

Bending and climbing

Late pregnancy and recovery make bending over a tub or climbing in and out hard, and risky.

Just sit down. No kneeling, no climbing
3

Water that goes cold

Refilling a sitz bath every few minutes means the relief never lasts.

The included hose keeps warm water flowing

How SoSoak helps

A warm soak whenever you need one, in the shower you already have.

Warm water streaming into the basin

Soothes and promotes healing

Soaking brings blood flow to the area, relaxes muscles, and soothes pain and discomfort.

Basin filled with warm water

Add Epsom salts

Your doctor may suggest Epsom salts or other additives. The basin holds them right where you need relief.

Hose port on the chair

Stays warm as long as you soak

Connect the included 110" hose for a continuous flow, or let the shower stream fill it.

Removable drain plug

Easy for tired hands

Pull the plug to drain and refresh. Seamless and nonporous, it wipes clean in seconds.

Clever alternative to a tub

"After a long search, I finally found a solution—the soaking chair. It's a smart alternative, and after just a week of daily use, it has significantly relieved my symptoms. Thank you to the nurse who designed it!"

Questions

New-mom QUESTIONS.

Still unsure? Email support@sosoak.com or see the full FAQ.

Can I add Epsom salts or soap?

Yes, if recommended or approved by your doctor. Epsom salts, pH-balanced soaps, and vinegar can all be used safely in the basin.

Is it covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

Shower chairs aren't covered by insurance, but SoSoak is an eligible HSA/FSA purchase and can be fully reimbursable if you have either account.

Will it fit my shower?

SoSoak was designed for the standard 30" × 60" shower and is 23.5" wide at the base of the legs. It needs a flat floor and isn't for use inside a bathtub.

Can more than one person use it?

Yes. The chair is flame sealed and completely nonporous, so it cleans easily with an antibacterial wipe or mild soap and water between users.

Do I have to use the hose?

Nope. Use it simply as a shower chair, and use the drain plug or included hose as you see fit.

What's in the box?

The SoSoak® chair, a 110" shower hose, and a shower arm diverter. No assembly required.

What is the return policy?

If you find that SoSoak Shower Soaking Chair is not a fit for you, you may return your unused chair in its original packaging, accessories box unopened, within 14 business days of receiving your item to receive a full refund. Customers are responsible for return freight.
