out of the package, this was VERY stiff. the first shower or two with it, it was very stiff & kept annoyingly touching me. after about 4 days it finally relaxed enough to where it’s hanging nicely. it’s very thick & clear so it feels durable & lets in a ton of light. the thickness is great for keeping the draft out of a hot shower! i live in a disgusting water district where the water molds & stains everything orange, so we’ll how this holds up.
