Do I need a separate liner if I buy a fabric shower curtain?
Reviewer consensus
It depends on the curtain. Lightweight polyester or linen-look curtains generally need a waterproof liner (PEVA or a snap-in fabric liner) behind them. Heavier 230 GSM waffle-weave curtains are often water-repellent enough to use alone in a low-splash shower, but most reviewers on r/BuyItForLife still pair them with a liner for full waterproofing. Hookless 'snap-in' sets bundle both pieces together.
