According to my wife, the world comes with two types of people in it, \u201csoakers\u201d and \u201cnon-soakers.\u201d She is the latter. Without question, I am the former. I still dream of a world in which I never need to leave the shower, living my life in a cozy, warm mist like Kramer in that one episode of Seinfeld<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the first things I wanted to do when my wife and I snagged our one-bathroom bungalow was upgrade the plumbing. Our water pressure, and the associated showerhead that the previous owners attached, was middling. We are lucky to have a sliding glass door so we don\u2019t have to deal with mildewy curtains, but otherwise our shower\/bath combo could be described as woefully utilitarian. When I looked at the cost of bathroom remodels and better plumbing, I settled into a series of small upgrades.<\/p>\n

The biggest and most profound change I’ve made since my bidet-volution<\/a> came one day while scrolling through Instagram. I found the Boona. This dual-headed wonder presses itself to the wall above your shower, giving you the ability to use one side, the other side, or both. It\u2019s turned my bathroom into Water World. You can shower together with a partner\u2014or have a partner who takes a quick shower while you\u2019re soaking in there\u2014and not get cold. It\u2019s utterly glorious.<\/p>\n

The Boona comes in a long, heavy box with everything you need to attach the showerheads and bar, right down the the plumber\u2019s tape. The review unit sent to me came in shiny chrome, but you can also get it in multiple other colors, including a cute blue\/pink combo. The only tool you\u2019ll want is a good wrench to detach your existing showerhead with.<\/p>\n

From there, it\u2019s as simple as putting up the bar, hooking up the water line, and turning on the faucet. There is a valve on the faucet facing the water line that allows you to easily pick between the front and rear showerheads, or turn on both at once (my preferred method as a \u201csoaker\u201d).<\/p>\n

The two showerheads on my review unit have adjustable sprayers that allow you to choose between the middle of the head and outer part of the head, which helps you pick between higher and lower pressure. I used them with the flow restrictors installed (as they are for California residents and folks in places with more water restrictions), and the heads worked more than adequately; both had better pressure than my previous showerhead.<\/p>\n

I like how adjustable the heads are. They swivel around pretty far, which means you can treat either head as the main one, depending on which way you fancy during a given session.<\/p>\n
