Shower Curtain, Open or Closed?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers 3 years ago

When you take a shower or a bath, do you keep your shower curtain open or closed? Why? I personaly like to keep my shower curtain closed when I take a bath/shower. It helps me feel more alone and peaceful so I could just relax. Plus I think if I let it open the water would splash on the floor and that's not good, and I would feel cold if I left it open also. So which do you prefer when taking a bath/shower, to keep the curtain open or closed?

Hi! I prefer to keep my shower curtain closed. I don't like to leave it open because of water on the floor, and i really don't want to make a mess when i am showering. Plus it makes me feel creepy if the curtain were open. I don't like the idea of someone being able to watch me shower.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I know!lol. That's exactly how I feel. Even though the door is locked it still feels like someone is watching me shower if I leave the curtain open.

Well I do not keep my shower curtain open or closed as I do not have a curtain. Instead my shower is in a cubicle and as my showers are so hot the windows always steam up anyway.


myLot reputation of 5/100. angreme (199)  3 years ago

You sure thats what steaming it up?


myLot reputation of 84/100. madmillionaire (422)   ranked 5,168 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Well I suppose it depends if I am in the shower myself or with another person lol. Unfortunately it is usually just down to the temperature of the water.


myLot reputation of 5/100. angreme (199)  3 years ago

Not good when its just the water is it?


myLot reputation of 84/100. madmillionaire (422)   ranked 5,168 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Well it is hard to get your back properly washed without someone else being in there helping hehehehe

I like mine to be closed that way I dont have to worry about water getting every wheres. That would take way to long to have to clean up after the shower.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes I agree. I don't want to step out of the shower only to see that I have stepped on a floor with a foot high of water on it, and not only that, I have to clean it up too.

I keep my shower curtain closed. It keeps water from getting on the floor. I have no desire to slip or clean up a mess. Of course every now and then I see my dog Sherlock's head peek inside. He's so cute. I look and this tiny little head with these big brown eyes are staring right at me. It's cute.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Aww how cute that would be. Only if he jumped in would it be a problem. Then he would shake himself off all around your house. You would have bigger problems then just cleaning up some water from the bathroom.lol.

I perfer to shower / bath with the shower door closed. I too find leaving it open invades my privacy and I become chilled faster than with the door closed. Sometimes during the summer I will leave the door open to allow the humitity to escape.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

That would be a good idea to leave the door open to let the humidity escape, and so your mirrors won't fog up, but sadly I live with 5 other people so I don't think I'll be living the door open while I'm taking a shower anytime soon.

hello lala,

i never use the shower curtain while taking a bath but i do when taking a shower. i always close the curtain when i take a shower, otherwise the bathroom would get flooded. i can't imagine anyone showering with the curtain open unless they enjoy using a mop...lol.

well i ususally keep mine closed for 2 main reasons. one if i keep it open i feel a draft it gets very cold. and when i shut it. it much warmer and i feel so comptable. and then the second reason is i'm not aloud to keep the bathroom door locked. because i live with 5 other people. and when i lock it someone always needs to come in! so if i lock it i have to interrupt my bath get out and get back in. and if i don't open it i get in trouble by my mom she will say i'm being inconsiderate. so i rather just keep the shower curtain closed just in case someone comes in.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Same with me. I live with five other people, but luckily I usually don't have the problem of them barging in, and even if I did I would still want the door closed, because if I open the door and close the curtain, than there would be more of a breeze than if I closed the door an opened the curtain.lol.

i don't have a curtain, i have like a swing door.. i don't remember what they're called, but that can either be open or closed but i prefer to have it closed. like you said, it feels like you're alone and not being stared at, and it's much warmer to have it closed.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lala501 (938)   ranked 116 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Oh you are so lucky. I would love to have one of those swing doors to cover up my shower, you don't have to change the curtain every month. I love being warm in the shower also, I don't like a breeze. The warm, cozy feeling is a must for me when I am taking a bath or a shower.

I like keeping my curtain closed. The water would go everywhere and just make a big mess otherwise. Then there's also the creep factor especially if someone else is in the house. Though I did keep the curtain open when I used to take baths as a kid, but I don't think that really counts.
