ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transfer bench

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a bathtub? You know how the bathtub is kind of like a big bowl that you sit in to take a bath? Well, some people have a hard time getting in and out of the bathtub because it's too high for them or they can't lift their legs easily.

That's where a transfer bench comes in! It's kind of like a special chair that you can use to get in and out of the bathtub safely. The transfer bench sits partly inside the bathtub and partly outside, so you can sit on it and then slide over into the tub without having to lift your legs very high.

The transfer bench has big legs that are stable and won't slip or wobble, and some of them even have little suction cups on the bottom to keep it really steady. And the seat is usually pretty wide and comfortable, so you can sit down and take your time getting in and out of the tub.

So basically, a transfer bench helps people who have trouble getting in and out of the bathtub do it safely and easily!
