Customer Review | “I was worried the fabric would stay wet and grow mold without a liner but it dries so fast! Within 12 hrs of use it’s dry, no need to get a liner to go with it. Never going back to using a plastic curtain/liner, the linen is much more aesthetic and probably better than heating up plastic every time I shower!” – Ennio (Read all reviews.)

Depending on how often you use your shower, Outlines will set you up with a plan to replenish your shower liner when it’s the right time, and take back your used liner to be recycled appropriately. Easy to use and eco-friendly!
