First world transition problem: bathing?

12 days ago by birdwing to c/mtf

So I'm in bath and notice that prior to HRT, when laying sideways, my hips would fully be under water.

But now they don't. I started it only 1 year and 2 mo ago (hips probably sadly fused already since I'm 28). And now part of hip is above water..

Yay! But also, dangit. The bath's filled to the brim and I love being fully submerged from neck down :(

Sounds like a tub size issue.

In my experience, most stock tubs that come with the home are too small to submerge an adult.

Maybe it’s a safety thing, but it’s annoying. A bigger tub is almost always at the top of the list for a bathroom renovation.

Yeah but you should be able to submerge your hips no matter how wide they are. A deeper tub would help with that. How comfortable are you with fibreglass molding?
