Fwiw, you might find it better to drill a few small holes.    I used too large a bit and now my guest shower is Niagara falls.



Yeah, I ripped one out and ruined the head, the pressure was too much.
That's impossible, you rip out all the head restriction, then add a $9 flow adjuster.

I can make all of my showerheads vary between a tiny mist, and paint stripping mode.

This is the way.

Dunno why women don't want to be pressure washed by showerheads, but $9 is a small price to pay.

This right here. Took mine out and tossed it. Went from a solid “meh” shower to “holy fuck my skin is being peeled from my body”. YMMV

That's what I look for. I got one of these and I have to be careful not to let the stream hit my balls. Instructions to unrestrict it are in the reviews.

Maybe you like shower head with the strength of a gentle spring rain. I want something that feels like it's a notch below a pressure washer.

I just replaced my shower head this weekend. Saw that restrictor and just left it in. Works wonderfully. Why remove it?

That's tiny, about a third of an inch.

I'm about to add flow stoppers to mine.  Make my kids take Navy showers.

I get the water set just right, I get the kid in the shower, then it's "I have to poop".
I have a device like that around here somewhere, but I can't find it.
When I went to buy one at Depot the price had doubled, so I was like, "I'll deal"
But those are cheap, I may give them a shot.
And they fix the problem my last one had, it was flat at the end, not open, so if there was anything sticking back from the shower head, it wouldn't go on.

Does nobody realize that when using a modified shower head you don't have to turn the hot and cold all the way on high if it's too much flow? You can just turn the valve or pull it a little to partly open it. They are all variable flow....

I pack a pair of pliers when I travel for just such a situation!

This is the best method I found when plumbing.  Run a coarse threaded drywall screw a couple of threads in and yank it out with pliers.

I never had anyone complain about having too much water pressure in their shower.

Not all shower valves are variable flow.  Some of them rotate from off to hot, I had one for a while, and the only way you were getting less flow would be to have it nearly off in the cold zone.
