Nivea make an in-shower moisturiser which seemed like a good idea. I used it last week, but when my husband (who has MS) showered he had a terrible fall. He didn’t even use it, but the base had become incredibly slippy.
I thought I would write to Nivea and let them know of the dangers. However looking at the bottle it actually has a warning about this issue, which I missed.
Just thought I would write and say this product is really one to avoid, probably for most people, but especially for those a bit unsteady.
Showers are slippery places at the best of times and a non slip mat is pretty essential for safety. A shower stool provides some additional security for those borderline wobbly.
Thank you for the warning - I hope there was not too much harm done. Any sort of shower oil is a menace. As are those everyday keep-your-shower-clean sprays.
No doubt about it, one of those shower mats with the suckers is a must, sad day as it is when one must accept that the time has come. Also a good, solid hand-rail. I hate it all, but there it is.
