That’s when I asked my husband to conduct an experiment for me.“Santom asked her husband, L.B., to pretend he was showering in front of the window as she stayed outside, and to her surprise, his silhouette could clearly be seen.“Funny enough, I wasn’t remotely horrified or embarrassed. I was more impressed with my husband’s ability to commit to my task of pretending to take a shower and I thought it was hysterical,” she says. “It wasn’t until I watched the video back the next day that I realized maybe we should cover it.“Santom filmed her husband from outside the window and posted the footage onTikTok, where it quickly went viral, garnering more than 12 million views as of Friday afternoon.The next day, Santom filmed her daughter, who was wearing a t-shirt and pants, in front of the window to see how clearly she could be seen during the day.The answer? “Really clear,” she remarks in the video, which clearly shows her daughter in the window.Santom says the bathroom shower is located in an area that her children don’t use, so she isn’t concerned about anyone having seen them.
