Shower head preference?

[DaLittle B]

Do you prefer a smaller shower head with more water pressure,or a larger shower head with less pressure?

My current shower head I've had for a number of years now.


This morning my friends with benefits asked me,"Do your actually use that little tiny handheld shower wand to take a shower? Do you ever use the stationary Shower head mounted to the wall...The larger one.."

(short version of my answer) I replied that I rarely use the big one at all,as I really don't have the water pressure when I use it.The small one hit's the back of the bathtub,I've always got water hitting me when I use it.When I use the large head I have to stand so close to the front wall to get wet,and if I tilt it up higher,it doesn't shoot far at all.She sort of looked baffled by my answer.

So what kind of shower head do you prefer most?

I prefer higher pressure myself.

Yeah, I'm a high-pressure shower guy myself as well. If it can't take the finish off the shower tiles, how in the world is it gonna get the dirt off of me?

I'm 100% in favor of shower head.  It is much safer than car head which can lead to running into a tree if you are not careful.

You haven't lived until you have a rainfall shower head. One with a big head that points straight down and you can just stand underneath it and let it run over your head and down your whole body. You don't need much water pressure, gravity does most of the work.

I have always wanted to try out the rainfall shower head. Right now, though, i have the same as the one pictured above (DaLittle B). I think it works fine. My water pressure is pretty good so I can use the inner hand held and outer ring at the same time and get a good wash.

I like medium pressure over a large, even area.  I do not like when the water comes at you in a ring that is hollow in the middle.
