I have been selling curved shower curtain rods to hotels for several years.  Hotel managers are not known for wasting money.  Each room has a certain revenue potential and the renovations must create enough value to justify the expenditure.  When we make calls on these managers they cannot spend the money quick enough to outfit their entire facility with these revolutionary rods.  A typical hotel will order 200 to 400 of our rods at a time.  We once had a regional buyer purchase 1,600 rods for 5 hotels they had under management.

I realized, however, that very few homeowners were able to find these products in stores.  I got the idea to sell these rods on Ebay in June of 2004 and the response has been incredible. 

So I figured all these people couldn't be wrong, the curved shower rod MUST be better, otherwise they would not be selling so well.  But I did not know because I had never actually showered with one.  Well that changed last month while on vacation with my family.  We were staying at a Marriott and there it was, one of my very own curved shower rods!  It was the moment of truth because if it was not a big deal I would feel like a charlatan. 

Well it was incredible! The area where the curtain bowed out the most was at shoulder height, exactly where you need to move around in the shower.  It was like a light went on and now I understood why so many travelers came home from business meetings and went right online to buy one for their home. 

So yes, the curved bow shower curtain rod really does add a significant amount of space in the shower!
