I have never paid more than a couple dollars for a shower curtain liner and now I know what I have been missing! This liner came out of the package with no odor at all!! Also, it was very easy to unfold and didn’t have any static cling. It hangs nicely and could probably be used without another curtain in front of it. The curtain stayed weighted down while the shower was being used.  Would totally recommend this shower curtain, even though it’s kind of pricey.
