OK, but if you closed the blinds the other way, and the bottom was inside the tub, I think this would actually work. At least as well as woven shower curtains do.

Edit: They'd probably be a pain to keep clean, but you'd also be able to rainex them which would let them dry faster then curtains.

I can’t help but feel like you’d be a terrible roommate but also fun to live with

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 weeks ago

I think my wife would call it a mixed bag. On one hand, the house has never been this fireproof, on the other, she's never had to deal with so much fire.

Former roommates have attested that the food definitely weighs in my favor.

They’re meant to hang outside of the tub with a clear liner hanging inside, the same way you’d use a cloth shower curtain.

The real problem is that they’re mounted on the ceiling, so there’s no way for the steam to escape. Those blinds are going to bounce the whole time they’re showering.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

It could be some nice ASMR while showering. Like steam powered wind chimes made of plastic lol. Click.......clack, click, click.....clack......clack

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

But if you closed the blinds

Does it almost seem like this would really work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

and the bottom was inside the tub

I'm sure many a bottom would enjoy an openable shower curtain. Maybe not as much as tops would, but still, it's a cute idea

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The blinds need to be IN the shower, not outside of the shower.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

Also turned the other direction it would actually work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

No, only the lining needs to be inside

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder how much air would just swirl around in that shower lol

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ITT, people who didn’t see the shower rod, ready for a separate shower liner. This is clearly a post-installation photo from a proud inventor; the shower liner will come.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Doesn't look like a new bathroom to me at all. Even if you're right, and the proud installer didn't remove the existing shower curtain out of stupidity, what's the point, though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They want the blinds to deal with the privacy aspect, but they’ll still install a liner for the water aspect. They just thought blinds instead of a traditional curtain (but not to replace the liner, which is often separate from the shower curtain) was cool or funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I honestly wouldn't mind trying this once. I wouldn't go through the whole process of setting it up, but it looks way fucking comfortable for a nice warm relaxing "my mind is in the 5th dimension" kinda fucked up night shower/bath. I could totally see the "blinds" being a mind-appeasing aesthetic for privacy.

Eventually, the mold may form a better seal along the blades when closed.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They’re hung in the wrong orientation to prevent spray from the shower head from slipping through gaps and you need to tuck the ends inside the tub.

In summary: reinstall them backwards a few inches closer to the wall.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Install horizontal blinds angled so the water runs back into the tub.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

And while we're at it, why not connect the blinds at the seams? Then no water leaks out.

And honestly you could make them out of a softer plastic so it's easier to open and close... something like sheet PVC would be perfect.

[–] mindbleach 1 points 2 weeks ago

reinstall them backwards

They rotate, my guy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why the fuck did I laugh so hard at this??

[–] Fuck_u_spez_ 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ridiculous diwhy fix and literal shitpost. What's not to laugh at?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Like I actually laughed out lout and almost shot water out of my nose.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Everybody living in 2024 while this guy living in 1500

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I hope there's a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.

Good evening I choose sweet dreams.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

These kind of blinds are just the worse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

You misspelled best

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The only problem I can see is that the rail and gears for the blinds that mounts to the ceiling usually has metal parts which will rust from steam and eventually make it difficult to open and close the blinds. You may be able to coat it in water resistant paint to overcome this. Though it might grow mold in the housing too so you'll have to clean it occasionally

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's the only problem? What about how the blinds are outside of the tub, directing all the water directly to the floor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not a problem because they are clearly going to install a separate shower liner on the rod that is hanging there. How many of you really only use a liner with no curtain? These blinds are a curtain replacement, not a liner replacement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I assume nothing I don't see in pictures like these. I've seen too much fuckery to do otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gotta change the gear ratio on the twisty stick, so you can open and close much faster.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Switch to pull string.
