BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain – 72×72 Odorless Plastic with Magnets Review

A clear PEVA liner is the simplest way to keep water inside the tub while a fabric curtain does the decorating, and the BigFoot 72×72 clear liner is built for that single job. Everything in this review comes from the product’s Amazon listing data. No physical sample was examined, so treat the points below as what the listing states and check the current page before you buy: BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain on Amazon.

Quick verdict and who it suits

This is a sheer, 72-by-72-inch PEVA liner with grommets, a reinforced top header, a weighted bottom hem, and a magnetic closure. It suits a standard tub-and-shower setup where you want a plain, washable waterproof barrier and a clean, neutral look. It is not a privacy curtain. Everything else in the review follows from that trade-off.

Key specifications in practical terms

• Size: 72 inches wide and 72 inches long. The length is the number that matters most, because it has to clear your tub edge or floor with the rod at the height you use.
• Material and thickness: PEVA at 8 mil; the description also calls it 8G. A thicker liner generally resists tearing better than a thin one, and the description says this one is built to resist rips and tears.
• Material naming: The material field lists ethylene vinyl acetate, while the description and fabric type say PEVA. Both names come from the same vinyl-acetate family, but the listing does not reconcile them, so confirm the exact material on the product page before you buy if that matters to you.
• Opacity and color: Sheer, in a clear PEVA finish. Light passes through, so a bathroom with a window will still look bright, but the tub is not hidden from view.
• Closure and hanging: Magnetic closure, grommet hanging method, and a reinforced top. The listing lists magnet among its materials but does not say where the magnets sit. Metal grommets and the reinforced header are the parts the listing credits with holding the liner without tearing.
• Rod fit: Fits a rod of 1.6 inches. This is the dimension to measure first.
• Weight: 11.36 ounces for the item, with a package weight of 0.33 kg. A light liner is easy to handle when you clean it.
• Care: Listed as machine washable. The listing does not give drying or wash-cycle guidance.
• Style: Modern style, solid pattern, all-season use. The listing names bathroom, dorm, hotel, and RV bathrooms as room types.
• Brand and manufacturer: The brand is BigFoot, and the listing names Bed Bath Kitchen as the manufacturer.

Who should buy it, and who should skip it

Buy it if you want a clear, sheer liner that goes behind a decorative fabric curtain, you already have a rod with a diameter close to 1.6 inches, and you like a magnetic closure that stays shut without hooks. It also fits people who rent, live in a dorm, or travel in an RV, where a simple liner that is easy to replace or wash is more useful than a long-lasting heavy vinyl.

Skip it if you need privacy from the tub area, because the sheer finish lets light and shapes through. Skip it also if your rod does not match the 1.6-inch fit, if your tub setup needs more than 72 inches of drop, or if you want a fabric look. If you want a thicker liner than 8 mil, look for a different product in the category rather than assuming this one can match it.

Real-world use cases

• Replacing a worn liner in a rental bathroom. The listing points to durability against rips and tears, which matters when a liner has to last a lease term without frequent swaps.
• Dorm and shared bathrooms. Washability and an odorless material are the two points the listing emphasizes for shared spaces.
• RV and small bathrooms. A light, compact liner is easier to handle and store than a heavy vinyl sheet.
• Behind a fabric outer curtain. The listing calls this an inside liner. Hanging it behind a decorative curtain keeps the water in the tub while the outer curtain handles the look.

Setup, fit, and compatibility checks

1. Measure the rod. The listing gives 1.6 inches. Use a tape measure around the rod’s widest point, because a rod that is thicker or thinner will not hold the grommets properly.
2. Measure the drop. Measure from the rod to the tub floor or the tub edge where the hem will sit. A 72-inch liner is the listed length; if your drop is much shorter, the extra length will bunch.
3. Check the grommet spacing. The liner uses grommets, so confirm your hooks or rings line up with the grommet holes.
4. Look at the product photos or ask the seller before you buy if you plan to rely on the magnets to hold the edges together.
5. Check the weighted hem. The hem is described as anchoring to the tub so the liner hangs straight. A weighted hem only works if it sits inside the tub, not on a shower curb that lifts it.

Strengths the listing supports

• Waterproof, odorless, and stain resistant. The listing describes all three, along with a slick PEVA surface meant to limit soap scum.
• Anti-cling design. The liner is described as stopping clinging to your body during a shower.
• Weighted bottom hem. The listing credits this with reducing billowing and keeping the liner in place.
• Reinforced top and metal grommets. These are the features the listing ties to long-term hanging without tearing.
• Machine washable. Washing is simpler than cleaning a heavy vinyl liner by hand.
• Light and easy to handle. At 11.36 ounces, it is easy to take down, wash, and rehang.

Limitations and open questions

• Sheer finish. This is not an opaque curtain. If privacy is the main goal, pick an opaque fabric liner.
• Material naming. Check the exact material before you buy if you need a specific material.
• Metal parts. The title uses the phrase “Rust-Proof,” but the details do not say which metal parts that covers. The listing names metal grommets and magnets among the materials, so the rust claim is only a title statement.

Buying criteria for this product type

When you compare any clear shower liner, these are the criteria that decide whether it will work in your bathroom:

• Thickness in mil. A thicker liner resists tearing better but feels heavier. This listing gives 8 mil.
• Length against your drop. Compare the stated length with the distance from the rod to the tub floor, not the tub edge.
• Rod diameter. This listing gives 1.6 inches. Liners that fit a different rod size will not hang correctly.
• Closure type. Magnetic, hook, or none. This listing is magnetic.
• Hem weight. A weighted hem reduces billowing. The listing describes one.
• Opacity. Sheer, frosted, or opaque. This listing is sheer.
• Care method. Machine wash versus wipe-clean. This listing is machine washable.
• Warranty. Ask whether one is stated. This listing does not state one.

BigFoot clear shower curtain review: choosing by situation

A liner is a simple part, so the choice usually comes down to where it will hang and what you expect it to do.

In a rental, dorm, hotel, or RV bathroom, the listing’s room-type field names all of those settings. The 8-mil PEVA, the odorless surface, and the machine-wash care method are the features that matter in shared or temporary rooms. Because the liner is light, taking it down for a wash and rehanging it is a routine job.

If you want a fabric curtain for the look and a plain barrier underneath, this liner is the inside layer. The sheer finish lets the outer curtain carry the design, which is the arrangement the listing describes.

If privacy is the main goal, the sheer finish is the limit. The specific-uses field lists privacy, but the opacity field says sheer. The opacity field is the more direct description of what you will see through the liner, so plan on partial visibility rather than full cover.

If you want a heavier liner than this one, compare thickness in mils on each product page. The 8-mil figure is the reference point this listing gives.

Fields that do not agree

Three points in the listing conflict. The material name is EVA in one field and PEVA in another. The specific-uses field lists privacy, while the opacity field says sheer. The description refers to shower curtain hooks, but the included components field lists only grommets. The listing does not resolve any of these, so read the product page before you buy.

Common buyer questions

Is the liner odorless? The listing describes it as odorless PEVA, and the feature list includes odorless.

Does it include hooks? The included components field lists grommets only. The description mentions hooks, so check the product page before you buy.

Who makes it? The brand is BigFoot, and the manufacturer field names Bed Bath Kitchen.

The care field lists machine wash only.

FAQ

Does it block the view of the tub? No. The listing describes the liner as sheer, so the tub and shapes behind it remain partly visible.

Can it go in the washing machine? Machine wash is the stated care method. No cycle or drying setting is given, so follow the care label on your own unit.

Will it work with a 72-inch rod drop? Only if your tub’s drop matches 72 inches. Measure first, because the listing gives the length but not a recommended drop range.

Is it suitable for a dorm or an RV? The listing names both as room types. The light weight and washable material suit those settings, but the rod and drop checks still apply.

Final verdict

The BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain 72×72 is a plain, washable, sheer PEVA liner with a magnetic closure, grommets, and a weighted hem. It fits a rental, dorm, or any standard tub where a simple waterproof barrier is the goal. It is a poor choice if you need privacy, a fabric look, or a material name you cannot confirm. Measure the rod at 1.6 inches and the drop against the 72-inch length, then decide whether the sheer finish suits the room.
