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 that connects to the main water supply, enabling users to direct the water flow wherever needed. This design is particularly useful for rinsing hard-to-reach areas or for bathing children and pets. Handheld showerheads come in various styles and settings, including adjustable spray patterns and water-saving options. They can be mounted on a wall bracket or used freely, making them a versatile addition to any bathroom. Many people find them convenient for cleaning the shower area as well.
