What causes the shower curtain to move in during a shower?

How do you add weight to the bottom of a shower curtain?
After sewing a hem across the bottom of the shower curtain, slide one weight into each open end of the hem and close it. If the curtain isn’t long enough for a hem, you can sew the fabric or mesh weight pouch to the back of the curtain.
How do I keep my shower curtain from falling down?
The shower curtain needs to be adjusted to be a little longer. The shower curtain rod should be hung at an angle and one end should be higher than the other. If you slide that end down, the rod will hang straight. There are felt pads on the tile wall.
