ALYVIA SPRING's liner is made of soft polyester fabric with a waterproof coating, so it hangs and feels like a curtain but keeps water in the tub. It has three bottom magnets, rustproof metal grommets and a reinforced header, and it's PVC- and BPA-free.

Who it's for

Great for people who dislike the plastic smell, stiffness or clinginess of PEVA and vinyl liners, and who'd rather toss their liner in the washing machine than scrub it. It also works on its own as a clean, hotel-style white curtain. If you want the fastest-drying option in a humid bathroom, a PEVA liner dries a bit quicker.

What we liked

Machine washable: just toss it in the wash when it starts to look dingy, instead of throwing it out.
Soft and odor-free: no plastic smell, and it's PVC- and BPA-free.
Magnet-weighted hem: three magnets help it hang straight and reduce billowing.

What could be better

Fabric dries more slowly than PEVA.
Magnets only grip steel or iron tubs.

72 x 72 inches: standard shower curtain size.
100% polyester with waterproof coating: soft and drapey like fabric, but water-repellent.
