How to Keep the Shower Curtain From Sticking to Your Leg

Showers should be refreshing, but it’s impossible to rejuvenate when a shower curtain is constantly rubbing your leg like an annoying dog.
To combat this problem, some shower curtains have magnets or weights to help keep it in place. Others are made of heavy or clingy materials. Sometimes these are enough, but often they’re not.
The best way to keep the shower curtain in place is to position the rod so the curtain can’t blow around.
If the curtain is hanging straight down, it is likely to blow around as the shower heats up and cool air rushes under it. Due to gravity, the shower curtain wants to hang straight down. Use this to force the shower curtain against the side of the tub by placing the curtain rod over the edge of the tub or shower basin.
The shower curtain will try to hang straight down but the tub is in the way so it will be forced against the tub and you can shower in peace.

The other way to get around this is to buy shower curtains with magnets in the bottom. This obviously only works if you have a tub that is ferromagnetic.

If you are already stuck with the task of repositioning your shower rod, why not buy one that’s bowed? The bowed shower rod not only serves the purpose of keeping the curtain from blowing into the tub and on you personally, but it also provides a little more room in the shower. It’s a truly wonderful thing!

Try a Shower Linerizer. They work really well.
