ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shower curtain

Imagine you're taking a bath or shower, and you don't want all the water to splash out and make a big mess on the floor. That's where the shower curtain comes in! It's like a big sheet of special material that hangs up in front of the bathtub or shower.

When you take a shower or bath and the water splashes up, it hits the shower curtain instead of going all over the floor. Most shower curtains have little weights at the bottom so they don't blow around too much while you're in the shower.

Some shower curtains are just plain colors, but other ones have pictures or patterns on them. Some people even change their shower curtain depending on the season or holiday!

So that's the basic idea of what a shower curtain is and what it does. It's like a big sheet that helps keep the water where it's supposed to be when you're taking a bath or shower.
