The outer shell includes a slit to gain access to the stabilizing bar. Positioned at the top of the vertical assembly is a shower head that receives pressurized water from a water intake connected to the plumbing of the existing shower enclosure. Attached to the vertical assembly is a multi pivot arm having a first arm and corresponding second arm. This second arm includes a first track and corresponding second track in parallel relation to one another. Positioned at the distal end of the second arm is a dispenser having a quantity of cleanser.

Claims (35)

1 . A shower attachment comprising:

a vertical assembly having a top end, a corresponding bottom end and a stabilizing bar encased by an outer shell, wherein the outer shell includes a slit sufficient to gain access to the stabilizing bar;
