As children, we dont know much, so products that are notdesignedfor all genders go unnoticed.
Just like this TikToker who was so frustrated by the rain shower at anAirbnbthat she vented online about it.
Her video went viral and women were nodding that its true!
She even showed how awkwardly women had to pose while bathing.
While some companies are starting to think about different needs, theres still room for improvement.
Some like a strong, focused spray, while others prefer a soft, wide one.
She believes that a beautiful showerhead is pointless if theshowerisnt good.
She explained, I always start by thinking about what people need and how the showerhead should work.
Only after that do I start thinking about how to make it look nice.
Second, there can be cost constraints associated with designing for a wider range of users.
Third, theres often resistance to change, with people clinging to established norms.
Finally, meaningful user research with diverse groups can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
She narrated, The increasing availability of adjustable showerheads is a step in the right direction.
As designers, we have a responsibility to listen to those voices and drive further progress.
