Many people have tried to figure out exactly how and why this happens but no one has ever proven their theories conclusively.
There are 4 leading theories. The first is the Buoyancy theory. Which says that as the hot air rises, and replaces the cold air, it creates a Coandă effect which is similar to a small vortex of air which sucks the curtain inwards.
The second is the Bernoulli effect. This states that the air matches the velocity of the water coming out of the shower-head and lowers the air pressure inside the shower and against the inside of the shower curtain. This results in the shower curtain being pulled inward.
The third is a combination of the first two. It's called the Horizontal vortex theory. A computer model showed that the water coming out of the shower-head can create a horizontal vortex (sideways tornado) which causes a pressure drop and pulls in the shower curtain.
The fourth and final is simple condensation. A hot shower produces steam that will condenses on the shower side of the curtain and lowering the pressure there. The condensation will be continually replaced causing a temperature fluctuation which results in times where net steam production is negative.
So there you have it. Who would have thought such a simple thing still remains partially unproven.
When a shower is turned on, the warm water and steam from the shower can create a slight vacuum effect that draws the shower curtain towards the showering area. This can cause the shower curtain to billow inward or stick to the person showering. The movement of the air, water droplets, and steam from the shower can also cause the shower curtain to sway or move.
An alternative to a shower curtain is a glass shower door. Glass shower doors can provide a sleek and modern look to your bathroom, are easier to clean than shower curtains, and can help prevent water from spilling out of the shower.
A hookless shower curtain typically features built-in grommets or loops that can easily slide onto the shower curtain rod, eliminating the need for hooks. This design simplifies the installation process and provides a cleaner, more streamlined look for the shower curtain.
A shower curtain is designed to prevent water from splashing outside the shower or tub area. When the water hits the curtain, it runs down into the tub, keeping the rest of the bathroom dry. The curtain typically hangs from a rod inside the shower or tub and can be easily drawn back for entry and exit.
The movement of a shower curtain during a shower can be attributed to the Bernoulli principle, which states that when fluid (like air or water) moves faster, its pressure decreases. This causes the low-pressure zone inside the shower to pull the curtain towards it. Additionally, the airflow created by the water droplets falling can also push the curtain around.
The movement of a shower curtain towards you during a shower is caused by the Bernoulli principle, which states that as the fast-moving air outside the shower causes low pressure, the higher pressure inside the shower pushes the curtain towards the lower pressure area. This creates a temporary vacuum effect that pulls the curtain towards you.
A shower curtain is for decor and hung on the outside of the bathtub/shower. Whereas a shower curtain liner is hung on the inside of the tub/shower to protect the shower curtain. In simpler terms...SHOWER CURTAIN: gets to hang and look pretty and be dry. SHOWER CURTAIN LINER: protects shower curtain from getting wet because it's the one getting wet!
a shower curtain goes on the outside and a shower liner goes on the inside so the shower curtain wont get wet

A shower curtain is "un rideau de douche" in French.
One advantage of having a clear shower curtain is being able to see straight through the curtain. This prevents the need to have to open the shower curtain to see out of the shower.
The Greek term for the word shower curtain is kourtína ntous. Shower curtain is a type of accessory used in bathrooms.
I would use a white mildew resistant shower curtain liner behing the Ruffles shower curtain.
A standard shower curtain measures 72" X 72".

No, the Penlope shower curtain will provide the perfect amount of privacy while keeping the access shower water from exiting the designated area.

A shower curtain is something that you hang in your bathtub or shower enclosure, to keep the water from getting all over the floor, when you shower. A plastic shower curtain is a shower curtain made from plastic. I think most of them are made from vinyl, actually.
