My thoughts:
So far I love it! Surprisingly when you first open it, it does not have that new out of the package plastic stink to it, which is awesome!
It has magnets along the bottom to help keep it from wondering into the shower from the hot/cold air mixture in the bathroom.
It also has a nice mesh under the plastic at the top where the grommets are for extra support to not tear the curtain.
It's a nice heavy duty curtain that I think will last for MANY years. The fact that it's made from PEVA makes me feel safer as it isn't putting chemicals or toxins into the air.
What is PEVA?
I did some research and here is what I found! (The following information was found from misc. websites and has nothing to do with the company).
While environmentally friendly shower curtains might be the best choice, PEVA curtain is the best option for consumers who are looking for a vinyl alternative.
PEVA
stands for polyethylene vinyl acetate. Don’t be scared! Just
because the name vinyl is present, there is no need to panic. PEVA is
non-chlorine, PVC-free, biodegradable material used mostly as a PVC
alternative in toy products, baby bibs and shower curtains.
Regular
curtains:
Curtains
made from PVC (poly vinyl chloride) are very dangerous because the
fabric includes many poisonous substances like chlorine. Chlorine
creates a carcinogenic chemical called dioxin. This chemical
penetrates the food chain and can be quite toxic for your health.
United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also warned about
the toxicity and volatility of PVC or vinyl shower curtains. A PVC
product is burdened with 108 volatile organic compounds and poisonous
chemicals including phthalates, mercury and dioxins. While your
beautiful PVC shower curtain hangs near your shower, the poisonous
gases and compounds spread in the air and stay for many days.
Vinyl
shower curtains can have dangerous effects on the human body. The
poisonous substances floating in the air can harm the body in various
ways. According to The Center for Health, Environment and Justice,
toxic substances contained in PVC shower curtains can pose a threat
to the immune and reproductive systems and may even cause cancer.
