This is ultimately a good thing, but can often be an overwhelming and tiring process. First you have to choose a bathtub. Do you want a regular type of bathtub, or a walk-in? A Walk-In bathtub is often beneficial for people with disabilities or the elderly. The walk-in door makes it a lot safer than stepping up and over, especially on wet surfaces.
