Check the water with a thermometer to confirm the temperature is no higher than 98°F. If you have to “ease in” to the bath, it’s too hot. Let it cool off or add some cold water.

Look for a plastic mat with grips that will stick to the bathroom floor. Use adhesive plastic grips at the bottom of the tub to help you retain traction while bathing.

Use a fresh towel to wipe off to avoid slipping on the bathroom floor.
