My balance isn't very good and I've had a few near misses. My husband installed a bunch of wall bars (he calls them my "not flying trapeze” handles) and that has helped. I’ve also found it useful to towel off before I step out of the tub. Still, I wonder if that’s enough. Has anybody here got one of those walk in sit baths they advertise on TV?

Those baths are fine as long as you can lift your legs. I always have a custom roll in shower made every time we move because I can no longer lift my legs high enough to step over even a 2" lip.
I don't know what those baths cost, but a custom shower is about $5000.00 and is much safer.
