GLY Portable Folding Bathtub Swimming Pool Large Freestanding Bathtub Bath Bucket for Adult with Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WLC5L55/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_33KWDbHBRCMM1

This one is expensive, but they make bath buckets!

Just be prepared for the bottom of your tub to be super slippery after the oil! Get yourself some duckies!

Get a grip! No, seriously.

We got three packs of them after the same happened to us, but we both went down. She had it worse: she fell OUT of the shower and got a concussion, bruised ribs, sprained knee and whiplash. The may be "for kids," but I think adults should stay on their feet too!

This a million times, mats get disgusting quickly. Ntm the fact that you're cleaning off sweat, dirt and grime. Plus they leave little circle marks where the suction cups were. Then you have to scrub the hell out of your bathtub with bar keepers friend to to make it look normal. Yuck.

Those bathtub daisy treads are loads better than mats from a practical and hygienic standpoint. Plus they're cheap.

Get the sticky things to help with the traction. And I just found out they come in shark!

I confess, I've had shower mats slip. I'd strongly suggest instead getting something like these.

TIL /u/kcbeemo puts deodorant on her feet. I think with my next order I'm sending back some of these. I'll be a hero.

like these?

or more whimsical?

I was actually going to suggest that Baby Bjorn bouncer! We were living in a small condo when my first was born, and moved when he was about 2 months old. Not only was the folding feature really useful to stash it under the couch, but he liked being more upright to look around, and since it's so light and portable I could take it anywhere. I brought it into the bathroom when I needed to shower, plus to friends houses, on vacation, etc for months just to keep my son contained and entertained. Definitely a winner!

We also had a similar hook-on high chair and doorway jumper, both got a lot of use.

I'd also recommend a folding bathtub, especially since a lot of small apartments only come with showers. (We had to add traction stickers to the bottom of that one, because it's pretty slippery.) In the place we moved to after the condo, the bathroom was so tight that it was tricky for both parents to bathe the baby in the actual tub, so we often took the folding tub on the back porch for bath :) Now that kiddo is 4, the folding tub is great for sensory/water stuff when you don't want to go full pool.

Here's a weird one: a butter knife.

I use it to open cans that have a pull-tab top without wrecking my fingers. Stick the tip through the loop, lever up.

See also: an electric can opener, this giant pill organizer, these grab bars that can easily be installed in the tiniest of apartment bathrooms without starting an argument with your landlord (priceless!) combined with this hockey tape (put it on your grab bars and crutch handles to keep your hands from slipping) and these anti-slip stickers, (I even put the stickers on the bathroom floor.)

They're uncommon in stores, but still exist online.

1. I actually meant "spring" as in go ahead and pay extra for the tub heater. I was having trouble finding on the Lowe's website on my phone, so here it and the tub are at home depot

   And the drain that goes with it https://www.homedepot.com/p/American-Standard-American-Standard-Deep-Soak-Drain-1599-500-020/100677630
   
2. you can have Lowe's install not (or home Depot) but if you can avoid it I would. You need a contractor to take out the old tub and install they new, and the contractor will bring on a plumber and electrician to do their part. Do you have any friends/coworkers who have had work done ask around for recommendations.
   
   
3. decals/appliques like this https://www.amazon.com/SlipX-Solutions-Adhesive-Non-Slip-Traction/dp/B00I81O540/ref=zg_bs_85961011_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NBE4VH7F5BYFDT4AX6ME

These are working well for us, although we've only had them about 6 weeks.
