                      Thank you @Victoria. I hung them on a clothes rack first of all but it collapsed, and the shower curtain rail was the only other place I could find for them. They enjoy the steam when I use the shower or bath :smile:

                        Don't you have to take them down when you use the shower? You can't pull the curtain around otherwise.

                          I never use the curtain, it just gets soaking wet and takes ages to dry, and it makes me feel claustrophobic too. I don't splash water all over the place when I have a shower so I don't really need it.

                            @Michael Hewett I'd be worried about the weight - shower rails are not very robust...

                            That looks nicely secured into the ceiling @Michael Hewett and what a great idea. The humidity in there doesn't need to be drawn out and it won't go to waste!!
