A handheld showerhead is a type of shower fixture that can be easily held in the hand, allowing for greater flexibility and control during bathing. It typically features a long hose connected to a wall-mounted bracket, enabling users to direct the water flow wherever needed. This design is especially useful for rinsing hard-to-reach areas and for bathing children or pets. Handheld showerheads come in various styles and spray settings, catering to different preferences. They can be installed as part of a shower system or used as a standalone option. Many models also include features like water-saving technology and easy-to-clean nozzles for added convenience.
