Did you know that a person needs to spend 5 to 10 minutes in the shower per day? Most people desire to bring their radios to the bathroom to maximize that little time. However, the normal radios are not built for the bathroom; hence, they spoil because of water splashing. Others are big; hence they lack a suitable place in the bathroom. Luckily a shower radio is built exactly for you to carry it in your shower. They are often waterproof and come with desirable features to make your work easier as you enjoy your cold or hot shower.

Showering offers immense health benefits to the body. That's why it's important to have something that makes your sessions enjoyable. Besides, what else can be very therapeutic after a long day of the scorching sun, sweat, and exhaustion than music in the shower. In this article, I will take you through everything you need to know about a shower radio.

What is a shower radio?

A shower radio refers to a compact-sized, battery-powered radio optimized with features that make it suitable for a wet environment such as the bathroom. It's typically a built-in speaker with radio functionality. Generally, they do not have external parts such as antennas or ports that can electrocute or short the user. Shower radios feature different designs: some have a strap to hang in the bathroom rod, while others come with a bracket to mount on the walls. In this digital era, it's common to find the latest technologies such as Bluetooth shower radio.
