Only when you know the purpose of your shower curtain liner then you can get the one that is effective to your needs. Liners are usually made of fabric or vinyl and they are effective in protecting your bathroom.

The difference between vinyl and fabricĀ  is that one is heavier and can stop water leakage more efficiently while the other is light weight and usually able to wash in washing machine.
