Depending on your preference, a bathroom can be as fancy or simple as you desire but there some items that are nonnegotiable. A solid bath mat, a small trash can, cozy bath towels and a shower curtain liner are all at the top of our list.

Sure you can get creative with shower curtain styles to give that decorative flair but liners are essential in keeping your floors dry and decreasing the chances of mold caused by sitting water.

Acting as a barrier between the shower or tub and the rest of the bathroom, finding the perfect shower curtain liner is more important than you think. Sure, you could easily snag the first option you see at the store or even select the bestselling option on Amazon, but doing a little research on your shower curtain liner needs will be better in the long run.

Luckily, we did that research for you. Ahead get the lowdown on the best shower curtain liners, according to online reviews.

With more than 159,000 five-star reviews and an incredible price-point, this shower curtain liner took “best overall.”

It serves it’s purpose making sure your bathroom will stay dry and clean, thanks to the impeccable waterproof design and water bead formation. It has three heavy-duty magnets at the bottom to make sure the liner stays securely in place and away from your body when showering. Plus, it features six rustproof grommets that never fade away or discolor the fabric.

“This lasted for years. I only replaced it because I didn’t feel like cleaning it. I’m regretting that choice, or at least the choice to not replace it with the same one,” said one Amazon reviewer. “I have had to throw away so many shower curtain liners due to mildew, even when I would machine wash every 2 weeks. There is no problem with this curtain liner because it is so easy to clean with a sponge,” said another.

If you’re on a budget trying to spruce up your bathroom, you can get two liners for the price of one from the brand mDesign. This liner is chlorine-free, made of 100% polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) and comes in clear, navy and white.

From more than 11,000 raving reviews and a whopping 4.5-star rating on Amazon, many reviewers said that it’s “very easy to hang” and “a really great deal.” They are shared that they only have to clean the liner once a week and that it does a great job “blocking water from getting outside the shower.”

If money is not an object, this noise-reducing, blackout curtain liner from Pottery Barn is what dreams are made of! Available in three different sizes and currently on sale, this liner is “designed to help you work, sleep and live with less distraction from busy streets, chirping birds and the sun’s rays.” It can be used with any shower curtains to block unwanted light and create energy-saving insulation.

Sounds like a fabulous option for any New York City locals, to us. While Pottery Barn doesn’t have reviews on it’s website, we’ve been told by word of mouth that this is a fabulous option for those dealing with outside noise (barking dogs, street noise, etc.) and desperately looking for some peace and quiet while showering. Thanks to this liner made out of dense polyester, that’s now possible.

When you’re shopping for a shower curtains and liners, they almost never come with the hooks you need to hang them with. Reduce your expenses and consider a hookless option!

The Hookless It’s A Snap! Fabric Snap-In Shower Curtain Liner feature easy snap-on rings to clip the liner directly onto the shower rod. It’s machine washable, less than $10 and maybe the most convenient option on this list.

“[This is the] best shower curtain liner I have ever owned in 48 years of housekeeping. The first liner [I bought] lasted me eight years [since it] can be washed with non-chlorine bleach. Even with my messy husband with greasy hands it comes out bright white!” a happy Amazon shopper said. “The snap out feature is a blessing.”

For a fabric liner, look no further than the Titanker Shower Curtain Liner, which comes in six shades. It’s easy to clean and can be tossed in the washer machine or simply wiped down with a cloth. Due to the fabric material, it can also double as a shower curtain but we’d recommend against that as the second barrier is always better to reduce mold. 

“The texture is very pleasing, it’s very lightweight, but the magnets do a good job of keeping the liner from clinging to the person,” said an Amazon reviewer. “When I’m done with the shower, I hold the liner at the top with both hands and lightly shake it to remove water droplets and let it hang the full width of the shower. It’s totally dry in under two hours. We loved it so much that we immediately bought another for our second bathroom.”

“They are so much prettier, lay so much better, can be washed and reused and are better for the environment,” said another reviewer about the benefits of fabric curtain liners.

If you’re look for easy cleaning, this is your best option. You can unclip and toss this liner in the washer machine, hang it back up on your shower curtain rod and be good-to-go. Choose up to 44 sizes and 15 colors. Plus, with its fabric material, there’s no vinyl and PVC smell, so it will always stay fresh and clean. 

“My family has had the same fabric curtain for at least six years now and it’s still going strong and looks like it’s brand new,” said a reviewer. “It keeps the water in as it’s supposed to and dries quickly (I leave my bathroom door wide open at night and after I shower to let everything air out.”

If you’re not messing around and want a heavy-duty shower liner, this option (with nearly 16,000 reviews) from the brand Epica is a great choice.

This liner has a thick vinyl material to resist odors and stains better than most and comes in three colors.

“This liner is perfect. It’s heavy, but pliable. I hate when you pull the curtain and it’s so hard and crinkly that you can’t pull it over far enough to get out of the shower. Before I used this curtain, I lightly soaked it in the tub with warm water to soften it and get out the folded lines,” a reviewer said. “I immediately hung it up and let it dry. When I showered it stayed in place and opened with ease. I know it’s just a liner, but I am very particular. This is a quality liner and I am very happy I was finally able to find it. I will be ordering several more to stock up.”

If weight is your top priority, we highly recommend this heavy-duty shower curtain liner that has more than 84,000 Amazon reviews and features three big weighted stones at the bottom to keep it in place and away from your body. Plus, eliminating the chances of water splashing onto your floor.

“I recently upgraded my bathroom with the AmazerBath Plastic Shower Curtain Liner, and let me tell you, it’s a total game-changer!” said a reviewer. “[it’s] made of 8G heavy-duty frosted EVA, and boy, is it sturdy! I’ve had flimsy liners in the past, but this one is built to last. It’s thick and durable, giving me the confidence that it won’t tear or leak anytime soon.”
