2.Different structures

Shower chair:

• Generally rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, suitable for use in humid shower environments.

• The seat part is usually made of non-slip plastic with concave and convex textures or small holes on the surface to increase friction and prevent users from slipping on the seat. Some shower chairs are also equipped with backrests and armrests to provide better support and comfort for users.

Bathtub chair:

• The structure is relatively complex, with high strength and stability to ensure that it will not shake or tilt when used in the bathtub.

• The design of the seat part is more in line with the shape of the bathtub to ensure the comfort of the user in the bathtub. They usually include suction cups, clips or bolts, etc., which are used to fix the bathtub chair to the bathtub to ensure safety during use.

3.Different shapes

Shower chair:

• The shape is relatively simple, which is convenient for placement in the shower space and does not take up too much space. Some shower chairs are also designed to be foldable, which is more compact after folding and easy to store.

• The height of the seat is generally high to facilitate users to sit down and stand up. The shape of the backrest and armrests is also relatively simple, mainly for support.

Bathtub chair:

• The shape matches the shape of the bathtub, and common ones are arc, semicircle and rectangle. This shape design can better adapt to the curve of the bathtub, making the user more comfortable in the bathtub.

• The height of the seat is relatively low because the depth of the bathtub needs to be taken into account to provide better support and comfort.
