Barossa Design PEVA Shower Curtain Liner, Clear 72x72 Review (2026)

The full review

We hung the Barossa Design liner in a daily-use family bathroom and put it through weeks of real showers to see whether it held up to the claims that matter most. The first thing we noticed — or rather, didn't notice — was the smell. Unlike cheap vinyl liners that off-gas a harsh chemical odor for days, this PEVA liner was genuinely odorless straight out of the package, which the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification backs up: every thread, grommet, and component has been independently tested against over 1,000 regulated and unregulated chemicals. The three bottom magnets are the feature that quietly changes the daily experience — they cling to the iron-core tub and hold the liner flush against the wall, so there's no billowing inward mid-shower and no water escaping onto the floor. On a fiberglass or acrylic tub the magnets won't grip, so keep that in mind, but the liner still hangs cleanly thanks to its weight and the twelve rustproof grommets. Those grommets, paired with a reinforced header, are what set this apart from bargain liners that tear at the holes within weeks — after a month of daily use ours showed zero corrosion, stretching, or tearing. The clear, lightweight material dries quickly between showers and wipes clean with a damp cloth, so it stays looking new rather than clouding over with soap scum. At 72 x 72 inches it fits any standard tub, and it works equally well as a protective liner behind a decorative fabric curtain or as a clean, minimalist stand-alone curtain. With over 100,000 ratings, an Amazon's Choice badge, and a price under $9, this is the rare bathroom basic that delivers on safety, durability, and value all at once — the kind of small purchase that quietly upgrades every single shower.
