I would love to get this but live in a rental and don't know anything about drilling into walls. It's a really old building and I know there's plaster and shiplap in other parts of the apartment but no idea about the bathroom. Can anyone point me toward resources on how I'd be able to drill this rod into the wall?
I imagine this shower curtain doesn't need a ton of force to hold it in place since it's not heavy, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Right now the shower curtain rod is just a tension rod.
I thought the curve would be gimmicky, but it does make you feel like you have a roomier shower.
I thought it would be too, but correct placement made a noticeable difference.

Does it keep the wet curtain from blowing in and adhering to flesh?
It helps especially if you're able to aim the shower head so that you're in the widest part (see: in the middle)

Looks like you have to drill holes in the wall for installation of this one
I need to go to grandma's house and confirm that they didn't have issues. I too am scared that drilling holes may lead to future issues - like the holes getting bigger and the rod sagging etc.

I can't imagine anyone can help you without you posting pictures of where the rods would go. Even then, what's pictured may not clearly show what material it is. But if you want to post a link/pic, we can try.

First off, if you are in a rental then look at your agreement. A lot of landlords have language indicating that you can't drill holes in walls.
Every house, especially older ones, are different. Remodels mean things could be anywhere in a wall, and with plaster and lathe you will have a heck of a time finding studs. Older homes have uneven stud spacing. Use a stud finder before you go poking around, but be prepared to do some hunting as the lathe is nailed/stapled and will give false stud readings. If tile is present you need specialty tile bits, if no tile then most standard drill bits will work. To be honest, if you really don't know what you are doing, then find a curved rod that is tension rod. It won't cause you issues with the landlord and it is unlikely to damage your walls outside of a little spackle/sanding/painting.
Sorry for the long reply, but I could type paragraphs about this. I'm a contractor and half of my house is 110 years old, I ripped out all the plaster and lathe except for one nice ceiling. The studs were sometimes 10" apart and sometimes 20" apart.
