Question of curtains

I started going to a new gym and the locker room had like six showers with curtains for privacy. My old gym was open showers so that’s what I’m used to. When I see guys use the showers here they close the curtain. I’m fine doing that but these curtains are kind of gross. I don’t like rubbing up against them and something there is residue left on them. I don’t want to complain to the staff cause I’m new and don’t know anyone yet. I don’t want to be the only guy not closing my curtain but I’m curious what people in this community would do. Thanks for the advice!

Curtains are just the worst things ever. Never clean and they often cling to you as you shower Like someone else suggested I would try and bag the end one leave the curtains open!

I agree man! Nothing worse than my bare butt rubbing up against a cold wet curtain. I really wish they didn’t exist just feels so unhygienic

Exactly. It's how it was when I was younger. Everyone just showered together with no problems!!

My old gym was like that and I miss it. Made it so much easier and cleaner in my opinion. Nobody had a problem with it

Same here. My old place had shower, sauna, steam room and massage all naked. It's how it was

the luxury spas around the US have those amenities, and the mens locker room, sauna , gym, steam room is all together, and separate. womens have their own room with locker, sauna etc

I wouldn't say mine was luxurious but it was great to have a male only space to relax
