Some of our shower curtains are washable, which can come in handy depending on how and where they are used. Other materials are unlikely to need washing. The second thing to consider is whether you need a shower curtain for a standing shower or next to a bathtub. For a standing shower, the curtains need to be long enough to reach the floor. This is to help keep water from flowing out into the bathroom during longer showers. If you need curtains for the bathtub, however, you probably want shorter curtains. This to be able to keep the curtains inside the tub when showering, and outside the tub when taking a bath. If our standard shower curtains don’t fit your bathroom, note that we have options that you can cut yourself to the desired length. Choosing shower curtain materials
