I actually slipped** in the bathtub a couple weeks ago and fell, on my

Fortunately not hurt at all, not dirty, not even disgusting.

But it's going to get harder in the next 10 or 20 years so I want a grab
bar.

What is the difference between stainless and peened, in terms of grab
bars, and which one is better for a bathtub? (For baths, fwiw. I
have a designated shower for showers.)

**Actually, to solve that problem, I got a vinyl bathmat. It's as long
as the tub, but I'm cutting it in half so it won't be where I sit or
slide down, so it will still be comfortable. When I'm getting in or
out, I'll stand nearer the drain end. For 35 years I'd been thinking
about those abrasive stick-on things, but a friend convinced me they
don't come off when you want them to and they make lying down or moving
while on one's back uncomfortable.


It's easier to stand up when reasonably sober.
