Does it really shrink that much (as I'm reading?) as I'd like to try a cotton shower curtain but not if it shrinks.

It is a very nice, heavy cotton shower curtain, but yes, it shrinks a LOT. Ours accidentally got run through the dryer by an overzealous cleaning helper, and it shrank so much that it barely hangs down below the top of the tub. Wish the company would pre-shrink their material before sewing into curtains because it is otherwise lovely.

I have not laundered the curtain as yet, but when I do I will do so with gentle wash, and let it air dry. I understand your concern as I felt the same after reading the reviews. The curtain is very nice and even though it is white it has not gotten dirty. I think it should be okay with caution. I hope that this is helpful.

I would consider this the best shower curtain I've ever bought (resembles Restoration Hardware's curtain) but I washed it on cold, hung to dry and lost at least 4 inches on length.

I purchased this curtain for my guest room. Everyone just loves it. I ask my guest and they have no problem with it. Possibly the air circulation, or lack of, in your bathroom.

I've washed mine 2 or 3 times and have had no issue with shrinking. I love it. I am able to wash it in my large capacity washer and dryer.

Like the others, I also have not noticed any shrinking and I have dried it (on low) in my dryer.

Of course you can it's cotton. As you know washing in hot water and drying on hot will shrink Cotton.

That is how I washed it but I but my dryer settings on low heat. I did not let it dry long and I hung it up slightly damp. Did not have any problems.

Not hardly at all actually. I have only done smaller projects, but as far as i know, it hardly shrinks, if at all. Hope this helps you.

The sheet fits perfectly but, after a few washes, it does shrink a bit. I'd recommend drying it on very low, or no, heat. Hope this helps!

Because it is polyester and not cotton, I find that it doesn't breathe that well. I tend to push it off myself during NC summer nights because I get sweaty. However, it isn't as heavy as most comforters you'd find, and I really like it!

I had the same ? I saw a special shower curtain on amazon that has a section that tucks into the chair. Also I read some folks using two curtains like on a window pulling one behind the chair and tucking around the side and folding on bench while the curtain on the other side pulled to within that curtain and folded up on the inside of the other curain from the back on the chair also . Some stated they tuck the curtain under their leg. I don't know how it would work if someone has to help. A hand held shower head is a must . Many happy bubbles!!

I have only had it a short time so can't really answer your question. When I do wash it, I will dry on low.

The cover is actually not pre shrunk, but as long as you use cold water and low heat dryer then it won't shrink. It also over cut as its 92 inches long not 90 so in case it shrink.

I haven't noticed any shrinkage. I really like this bedspread and am so glad I bought it.

Yes it shrinks. I bought a King size. I washed it in cold water and dried it on perma press cycle and it shrank 5" each direction. Get a King size for a queen size bed.

No. It doesn't let the chill in. It is a great shower curtain. Washes up nicely. I don't dry. I just put it in the dryer enough to get wrinkles out. I am very pleased

It is cotton, so there is some shrinkage, but it is commercially made, so not a lot

Immediately stretching the material after drying it. It's difficult because of the large size. I used a curtain rod, and long metal pipe to tighten the material. I routed the material around the pipe and clamped it back to the curtain rod. Treat it like a very large cotton shirt.
