A liner that keeps drifting into the shower can cling to your legs and make a small tub feel tighter. Instead of clipping random weights to it, check liner position, lower-edge contact, and strong room airflow.
QUICK STEPS
If you need the short version, try these steps first.
- Spread the liner so rings are evenly spaced.
- Place the liner inside the tub before turning on water.
- Check whether built-in magnets or weights contact the tub surface.
Before you continue, check these safety points.
- Do not attach hard improvised weights that can swing or create a choking hazard.
- Stop using any arrangement that lets water reach the floor and create a slip hazard.
Make sure the liner hangs inside the wet area
The liner should guide water back into the tub or shower base while the decorative curtain can remain outside.
- Spread the liner so rings are evenly spaced.
- Place the liner inside the tub before turning on water.
- Check whether built-in magnets or weights contact the tub surface.
- Run the exhaust fan normally and note airflow changes.
- If needed, choose a liner with a heavier hem rather than improvised weights.
Magnets only help on compatible surfaces
Fiberglass, acrylic, and some coated tubs are not magnetic, so a heavier hem may work better.
Keep the floor dry while experimenting
Do not position the curtain so water escapes just to reduce billowing.
