Abstract
A retractable bathing splash barrier device for use with bathtubs or shower-tub combos. The device includes a spool that allows the user to retract and store the splash barrier when not in use. The splash barrier is made of clear, flexible, waterproof material with a handle for easy gripping and attachment to hooks on the opposite wall. The device also includes wall mounted hooks with sticky pads for easy attachment to the bathtub walls. The suction cup strip along the bottom of the splash barrier helps to prevent water from escaping under the splash barrier.
