Abstract:

The vented shower curtain is a shower curtain having a plurality of air flow vents formed therethrough, allowing environmental air from outside a shower stall to pass into the shower stall, thus replacing heated air that has escaped overhead from the shower stall, and preventing the shower curtain from curling into the shower stall when a user is showering. The vented shower curtain includes at least two panels, with each panel having opposed first and second edges. The second edge of a first panel overlaps the first edge of a second panel, with a plurality of spaced apart seals securing the second edge of the first panel to the first edge of the second panel. Adjacent ones of the plurality of seals define air vents therebetween, thus allowing environmental to pass through the air vents when the bather is showering.
