I assume this curtain is vinyl? I don't want heavy duty vinyl that is "stiff". Is it lightweight and does it hang freely?

It hangs freely and has metal weights on the hem. Sometimes it might have to be adjusted but the vinyl is pliable. Very little odor. I am allergic to such toxins that come from vinyl and am happy to report I hardly noticed an odor. Most importantly - no leaks in the basement. We had water leaking when using 2 or 3 other shower curtains around the clawfoot tub in our house. We are very happy to take showers now. The price was worth it.

It's very light, rectangle and PVC. It looks beautiful hanging up! I love it!

I would assume that you would have to use a liner in the shower. I use two of them to block the sun in the afternoon in my gazebo. Is it heavy enough to not see thru, yes. Other than that it is silky cloth. I'm not sure what you are looking for in "heavy". It's definitely not canvas, but it's also not see thru.

I purchased this curtain for my guest room. Everyone just loves it. I ask my guest and they have no problem with it. Possibly the air circulation, or lack of, in your bathroom.

It is vinyl, nice and sturdy. I believe it will handle the Florida rainy season very well, which means no problem in an actual shower.

The closest fabric I can come to using to compare would be microfiber. I am not sure what fabric it is but it does not feel like vinyl. It does "poof" a little when you sit down on it, but I believe that is because of it's waterproof properties.

I wish I could tell you but I got rid of that curtain shortly after I purchased it. It was very light and moved constantly from the breeze of the shower water. It was annoying to me so I gave it away. Sorry....

The shower curtain is kind of in-between. It isn't as soft as fabric but not as stiff as vinyl. It is not the best quality. If it wasn't a hassle I would have returned it.

No it's not. Instead it has two small suction cups on each side, to press to the shower walls to keep it in place. It is a heavy weight vinyl, so it hangs pretty good even without the weights.

I don't think it would hang well for curtains. It is like a plastic canvas texture. It is more suited for a screen, pulled tight.

Hi Sierra, the quality is comparable to some of the better-vinyl shower curtains found at Target-level stores. As for the thickness, I wish I had a .mil rating with which to offer you a quantitative answer. However, I can tell you that whiîe I do use a clear liner with mine (to keep the curtain itself cleaner/decrease laundering), due to the curtain's frosted background, you may find a liner to be unnecessary. NB: After nearly one year, my PEVa-Owl-curtain has held-up very nicely thru several trips in the gentle cycle. Colours remain bright, and the article continues to add a delightful, whimsical air to the bathroom where it hangs. --C.C., Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer Hi Sierra, the quality is comparable to some of the better-vinyl shower curtains found at Target-level stores.

I hung it up straight out of the packaging and after a few hot showers, the curtain is now perfectly unwrinkled. Hopefully that will work for you as it is the simplest way!

LW-07 Shower Curtain is not heavy duty shower curtain or liner (around 1.0 pound). But it is heavier and thicker than most other vinyl shower curtain liners. It is good for bathroom with cotton shower curtains. You also can use it as an independent shower curtain. Because it is a beautiful EVA shower curtain with white floral pattern.

its soft almost like a cloth, if you can imagine the texture of a bed sheet...you definitely want a plain shower curtain behind it. I love it though I haven't had any problems and its the prettiest curtain I've seen any where all my guests get impressed.

Yes and no. First, this curtain is great; I really like the mesh window along the top. I have tension rod and it has a "break" in the center which inhibits smooth movement of the curtain just a little. Certainly a mounted rod without the break would be better.

Not stiff or shiny. It is a somewhat soft material but strong enough to hang straight. Not sure about polyester, I don't think so. It looks great and works great. The bottom hem is the part that holds the mildew, I swing it over to the sink and soak the bottom in oxyclean for about an hr. I only had to do this once in 6 months. Does the trick. Of course with any shower curtain it should be washed on gentle occassionaly. Put it in the dryer for just a few mins to take care of the wrinkels. I would buy this item again. I actually need two as I have a rounded curtain rod.

It's outdoor fabric and seems like it would hold up for sure. I am using it in a bathroom. So far, no problems.
