If you have any recommendations, any guidance would be greatly
appreciated.

Home Depot sells a very small water saving shower head that provides a
strong spray of water. Unscrew the old shower head, wrap the threads
of the pipe with teflon tape and screw on the new shower head.

All of them are super-easy to install. As Lena said, be sure to have teflon
tape to apply to the threads. You're supposed to wrap a layer of the tape
around the threads, in the direction that the shower head will be
tightened - clockwise, in other words.

Buy a spray wand type! and not a DELTA! their regular faucets are great
but their wand showerhead is a pile of crap

The wand type cost just a few bucks more but is highly adjustable and
best of all makes cleaning shower tub a snap!

Its the best cheap thing I bought just based on the convenience of
clean up! No more cups of water tossed on the tile

For a stronger feeling just remove the flow restrictor it pulls out
easy. you will use more water but get a much better shower feeling if
you want the needly type!

dont forget the teflon tape

Agreed. It's also great when you need to use the tub for other chores, like
washing the dust off of houseplants, or cleaning window screens when it's
too cold to do it outside with the hose.

Or washing the dog

That wand has a long list of helpful uses!!!

Agree!! Can't believe how many years I went before doing it. Another
benny is the ability to adjust the spray without having it spraying on
you.

It's gardening time. The dogs are out. Dogs and gardens do not go well
together. The terminations will begin shortly. :-)

That's the one! Thanks, Jim, couldn't think of the name. I believe it
comes in two versions, one having a shut-off valve to really conserve
water while lathering up.

Yes,I have the no-valve version.
I enlarged every other hole in the disc by a very small amount and it gives
a better shower,some needle spray and some coarser.(my preference)
I don't even run the faucet at full output.

But it's not a designer showerhead. ;-)

I forgot to add;the thing I like the best about "The Head" is that the
water comes out in a narrow cone,and thus spreads less and more of the
water goes on my BODY instead of the walls and shower curtain like a
conventional head.
