Curved shower rods were made for me. Now, if they could only connect hose pipe extenders to the shower heads so I wouldn't have to do all manner of body contortions, I'd be set!

Curved shower curtains allow you to avoid body contact with the nasty things.

The person who came up with this idea is an absolute freaken genius. A rich one, too, I think :p

I hope so because it is a simple, brilliant idea. I would have probably invented the expandable bath tub instead, where you hit a button and it just sort of expands outwards when you are in it, then sort of folds back when you are done so that you can use the bog.

I LOVE the curved curtain rods. It gives me room to shower without feeling crowded. I have never felt colder in them actually just the opposite.

Love 'em
 
^ Put me in the "love 'em" category. I didn't realize how much until a recent hotel stay where I could not get away from the clinging shower curtain. EEEWWWW!!

Chalk another one up for the "Love 'em!" category.

Wow, from the title of this thread, I thought this certainly belonged in OMNI land. I guess not.

I LOVE the curved shower curtain rods!!!

When I am in a hotel that doesn't have them, I get completely grossed out because I don't want my body accidentally touching the same shower curtain that the previous user's hairy hind end probably rubbed against.

Love 'em. Totally cuts down on "kurtenskank."


...unless the "curve" makes them totally hang on/over the toilet...that gets a little problematic.

In several places I have stayed recently the curved shower rod was matched with a standard size shower curtain so the curtain did not reach below enough to keep the shower water in the tub enclosure. Dumb.

Cheap hotel bathrooms everywhere would be upgraded with a curved rod.

I like them so much I bought one for my home.

das, I may be the only person, but I agree with you, they make the shower colder. That said, I do like the additional space to avoid touching the (nasty) hotel shower curtain.

Love them! The first time we stayed at a hotel with one, the wife insisted that we go out and purchase one for the home.
