Shower curtain question

GSPgirl — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 00:54:06 GMT

Can someone please tell me why the shower liner has less holes than my shower curtain? Is this something new? When I hang it the liner doesn’t match up to the curtain.

Ugh.....probably a cost saving measure. Makes no sense.

I bought a new liner about 6 months ago, mine had the correct number of holes.

I believe they do make different width ones --- some for shower stalls that are narrower and have less hook holes and standard tub size with I believe 12 hook holes. Maybe you bought shower stall size by mistake??

If they are the same width across the top hem, you can probably use a hole punch to correctly line them up.

Pin them together along the top seam and use a standard paper hole punch thru the shower curtain holes to punch out your liner.

Maybe this is why glass doors are making a comeback. ☺

I just bought a new liner. Mine has the same number of holes as always, the same number as the curtain.

Never had that problem same hooks for plastic liner & shower curtain. Are they making the showers smaller?

It would be easy enough to make another hole in the liner......just reinforce with strapping tape, and punch thru.

I've gotten a few liners where the outline of the "hole" was there just not punched out. Sort of a punch to fit thing.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t give measurements on the package. I have bought this same liner for years. I’m going back to Target today and looking at all of the liners.

The liner is about six inches less in width than the curtain.

There are definitely at least two widths of liners, one more narrow for shower stalls. I find them to be rather rare, and most places carry just the standard larger one.

Thank you! I went back to look at the liner and it says stall on it. Now I know what to look for. Full size shower/ bath.

You are welcome!! I always had a hard time finding one for our shower stall and ended up either doubling up the curtain or cutting off one side LOL
