Tile – glue which holds to glazed porcelain tiles

adhesiveceramic-tile

My shower does not have a cabin, only a curtain. Said curtain tends to wave around while I am in the shower, clinging to my legs and letting water flow outside.

My best idea for a low-cost solution was to sew some Velcro strips to the (textile) curtain. This worked well, until I tried to fasten the hooky strips to the wall. It turns out that none of the glues and double-sided tapes I have at home are strong enough. When I pull on the Velcro, the hooky strip comes off the wall and stays hooked to the fluffy strip on the curtain.

Any ideas for low-cost, non-invasive methods of getting the strips to stick to the wall? I assume that I need a stronger glue – what should I look for? Or is it a fool's errand? I am renting this apartment – I can't drill holes and screw something glue-friendly under the Velcro.

The wall is covered with glazed porcelain tile.

If you will first thoroughly wet all the pertinent surfaces, your shower curtain will cling all by itself and greatly reduce the irritating billowing and waving, also the leaks to the outside on both ends. I just toss handfuls of water everywhere I want the curtain to seal off and stick down. Good luck-
