I love taking showers with my husband, but sometimes it can be quite an experience. In our large tub/shower, we originally had a standard showerhead without much adjustment. When we’d take showers together, the one in front (typically me) would have to periodically duck while pushing the head up as far as I could so the one in back could actually get wet. Our next showerhead had a removable wand. While this was great if one of us wanted to hold it and spray the other or put the jets to better use in more intimate areas, it still didn’t make it easy to shower together.

The last showerhead we had had a more flexible neck and looked a bit like the ones you see in beach showers with its wide head. This allowed us to angle and aim the head back to whoever was behind, but pretty much only one of us was still getting wet. We’d been talking about getting a true dual head showerhead for a while, so I was excited to get this one to try out.

The Sportsheets Dual Showerhead comes in an easy to open clear plastic case. It displays the shower head through the front and back and shows the stream patterns on a guide towards the bottom. Inside is a small insert that shows the other products in the “Sex in the Shower” line. No instructions are included, but none are really needed.

The showerhead is made of white plastic, and consists of a bar from which the two showerheads are attached. It fits on a standard 1/2” bathroom pipe which is the typical size of the pipe used in showers. It’s very easy to install. With a pipe wrench, loosen your existing showerhead and remove it, then screw on the Sportsheets showerhead and tighten with the wrench. Unless your old showerhead is rusted to the pipe, total installation time is under 5 minutes.

Depending on your shower, you can attach the head so it’s horizontal or vertical. If you have a wide shower, the horizontal mounting will make sense, while if your shower is in a tub the heads should be mounted vertically. Each head swivels, so you can angle the spray as necessary.

Each of the heads has a button which has 2 positions. When pressed one way, the water sprays from the outer holes to provide a gentle, typical shower. When pressed the other, the water sprays from the centered holes to provide a harder massage-style spray. While the picture on the packaging shows both operating at the same time from one head, this doesn’t really work. The button can be positioned so water comes out of all the holes but the massage factor is lost and only a gentle spray comes out. Each head is independent, so your partner can have the regular spray while you use the massaging spray or vice versa, or you can have them both the same. If you’re showering alone, you can set one head to each setting for the dual experience. Both heads will spray when your shower is on – there isn’t a way to only use one head.

Provided you have the water pressure to use this, this showerhead works great and allows both you and your partner to enjoy showering together while both of you get wet in the process. Its only real drawback is that there’s no way to turn off the heads individually.

While I’m not the most mechanically inclined, I had no trouble at all installing this showerhead. My husband was eager to try it out, so with it mounted vertically we did so. We have pretty good water pressure and it was pretty cool to finally be able to both stand under separate sprays of water. It was easy to adjust the heads to angle the streams. While I don’t typically like the massaging sprays of showerheads, the massage setting of this head is moderately strong and I actually preferred it to the standard spray. My husband liked them both.

When showering alone, the heads are positioned so you can angle both of them to spray you. When used this way, I liked using one on standard setting and one on massage. I tried to center the button to get both types of streams to come out of one head, but the massaging streams with their stronger spray became weak versions of the standard spray. This didn’t really matter – setting each head to a different spray worked just fine.

I would like if you could shut off the heads. The way this is designed both heads spray water. This isn’t a huge deal or problem, but it would likely make the spray a bit stronger if just one head was used when I’m showering by myself.
