    OK, but if you closed the blinds the other way, and the bottom was inside the tub, I think this would actually work. At least as well as woven shower curtains do.

    Edit: They’d probably be a pain to keep clean, but you’d also be able to rainex them which would let them dry faster then curtains.

      I can’t help but feel like you’d be a terrible roommate but also fun to live with

        I think my wife would call it a mixed bag. On one hand, the house has never been this fireproof, on the other, she’s never had to deal with so much fire.

        Former roommates have attested that the food definitely weighs in my favor.

      They’re meant to hang outside of the tub with a clear liner hanging inside, the same way you’d use a cloth shower curtain.

      The real problem is that they’re mounted on the ceiling, so there’s no way for the steam to escape. Those blinds are going to bounce the whole time they’re showering.

        It could be some nice ASMR while showering. Like steam powered wind chimes made of plastic lol. Click…clack, click, click…clack…clack

      I’m sure many a bottom would enjoy an openable shower curtain. Maybe not as much as tops would, but still, it’s a cute idea

    The blinds need to be IN the shower, not outside of the shower.

    ITT, people who didn’t see the shower rod, ready for a separate shower liner. This is clearly a post-installation photo from a proud inventor; the shower liner will come.

      Doesn’t look like a new bathroom to me at all. Even if you’re right, and the proud installer didn’t remove the existing shower curtain out of stupidity, what’s the point, though?

        They want the blinds to deal with the privacy aspect, but they’ll still install a liner for the water aspect. They just thought blinds instead of a traditional curtain (but not to replace the liner, which is often separate from the shower curtain) was cool or funny.

          I honestly wouldn’t mind trying this once. I wouldn’t go through the whole process of setting it up, but it looks way fucking comfortable for a nice warm relaxing “my mind is in the 5th dimension” kinda fucked up night shower/bath. I could totally see the “blinds” being a mind-appeasing aesthetic for privacy.

    They’re hung in the wrong orientation to prevent spray from the shower head from slipping through gaps and you need to tuck the ends inside the tub.

    In summary: reinstall them backwards a few inches closer to the wall.

      Install horizontal blinds angled so the water runs back into the tub.

        And while we’re at it, why not connect the blinds at the seams? Then no water leaks out.

        And honestly you could make them out of a softer plastic so it’s easier to open and close… something like sheet PVC would be perfect.

    I hope there’s a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.

    The only problem I can see is that the rail and gears for the blinds that mounts to the ceiling usually has metal parts which will rust from steam and eventually make it difficult to open and close the blinds. You may be able to coat it in water resistant paint to overcome this. Though it might grow mold in the housing too so you’ll have to clean it occasionally

      That’s the only problem? What about how the blinds are outside of the tub, directing all the water directly to the floor?

        Not a problem because they are clearly going to install a separate shower liner on the rod that is hanging there. How many of you really only use a liner with no curtain? These blinds are a curtain replacement, not a liner replacement.

          I assume nothing I don’t see in pictures like these. I’ve seen too much fuckery to do otherwise.
