Abstract: There is disclosed a bathtub having interior front end corners between the walls being smoothly curved with a large radius of curvature, about 6 inches, and having pockets recessed into the corners between the front wall and opposite end walls to receive the bottom ends of a shower curtain, thereby permitting the opposite side edges of the shower curtain to be in contact with their respective shower wall substantially the entire vertical length of the curtain. This avoids gaps between the shower walls and the bottom corner ends of the shower curtain through which water can escape from the shower enclosure.
