How do I keep water in my bathtub when I shower?

To keep water in your bathtub while showering, you can create a makeshift plug using readily available items.

Using a Washcloth and Plastic Bag as a Makeshift Plug

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to keep water in your tub using a washcloth and plastic bag:

1. Gather Materials: You will need a washcloth and a plastic bag.
2. Prepare the Washcloth: Lay the washcloth flat.
3. Insert into Bag: Place the flat washcloth inside the plastic bag.
4. Remove Air: Squeeze all of the air out of the plastic bag. This will help the makeshift plug stay in place.
5. Seal the Bag: Ensure the plastic bag is sealed properly to keep water out.
6. Place as a Plug: Carefully insert the bag (sealed side first) into the drain.
7. Test the Plug: Check to see if water is held in the tub. If not, try to add more of the bag into the drain or ensure no air is in the bag.

This method utilizes basic household items to create a functional plug, which allows you to retain water in your bathtub while showering.
