    ITT, people who didn’t see the shower rod, ready for a separate shower liner. This is clearly a post-installation photo from a proud inventor; the shower liner will come.

      Doesn’t look like a new bathroom to me at all. Even if you’re right, and the proud installer didn’t remove the existing shower curtain out of stupidity, what’s the point, though?

    OK, but if you closed the blinds the other way, and the bottom was inside the tub, I think this would actually work. At least as well as woven shower curtains do.

    Edit: They’d probably be a pain to keep clean, but you’d also be able to rainex them which would let them dry faster then curtains.

      I’m sure many a bottom would enjoy an openable shower curtain. Maybe not as much as tops would, but still, it’s a cute idea

      I can’t help but feel like you’d be a terrible roommate but also fun to live with

        I think my wife would call it a mixed bag. On one hand, the house has never been this fireproof, on the other, she’s never had to deal with so much fire.

        Former roommates have attested that the food definitely weighs in my favor.

      They’re meant to hang outside of the tub with a clear liner hanging inside, the same way you’d use a cloth shower curtain.

      The real problem is that they’re mounted on the ceiling, so there’s no way for the steam to escape. Those blinds are going to bounce the whole time they’re showering.

    They’re hung in the wrong orientation to prevent spray from the shower head from slipping through gaps and you need to tuck the ends inside the tub.

    In summary: reinstall them backwards a few inches closer to the wall.

        And while we’re at it, why not connect the blinds at the seams? Then no water leaks out.

        And honestly you could make them out of a softer plastic so it’s easier to open and close… something like sheet PVC would be perfect.
