A flow restriction device and/or a sanitary shower equipped with the flow restriction device includes a restrictor body composed of multiple web planes disposed successively in an axial direction and filling a passage cross-section of the restrictor body perpendicular to the axial direction. Each web plane is composed of a plurality of webs extending mutually in parallel and perpendicular to the axial direction, spaced from each other thereby leaving web intermediate gaps. Webs of two directly adjoining web planes extend non-parallel to each other. The device is useful in overhead showers, for example, and limits noise.
