Sure definite fix is 1- fix curtain, at top, least 10cm away from bathtub, that is not straight up. 2- seam at bottom of curtain must be 1-1.5 cm. Fill seam with clean washed sand, as weights. washed sand available from builders supplies and look for a broken bag, U only need ‘bout 200 gms, if that
Reducing the shower curtain effect

This guy had the problem 11 years ago and hasn't signed on in 5 years.
If he hasn't solved it by now...
The moving air inside the shower lowers the air pressure so the curtain is pushed in from outside the shower. The better your curtain seals off the shower the greater the curtain push will be. As craig87c mentioned, try to leave the back (or even the front if you can) end of the curtain open as much as possible. Also If you can lower the curtain rod to create a larger gap for air to come into the shower and equalize the pressure, that would help too. Lastly, the more/sooner you can get the water onto you rather than hitting nothing and just churning the air, the less your curtain will bend as well.
Wait what? Nov 8, 2011? Nevermind. However the advice still stands.

Just get rid of the shower curtain and employ a housemaid to clean up. That's the Filipino way.
Take a bath.
While I enjoy a good soak, my wife calls a bath "human soup".Wisdom….
She's of the Dilbert perspective that a bath is just someone soaking in their own filth

I have to agree. Sometimes after a grueling, sweaty workout in the gym, after a shower, I will go straight from the walk in shower and hop into the jet tub for a relaxing soak.
And I still leave a scum ring after draining the tub? Doh!
The wife tells me my blackness is coming off!
I tried to point that out to her as proof that I was actually cleaner after a bath than after a shower, or there wouldn't have been a ring after the bath.I have to agree.

Unsuccessful.
My uncle Jack used to say the same thing and refused to take a bath.a bath is just someone soaking in their own filth
I wish my only problem was a wayward shower curtain. 
It only bothers me when I'm alone in the house and take a shower in the evening.I wish my only problem was a wayward shower curtain.
Something disconcerting about being alone, late, and feeling something cold and clammy wrapping around your leg.
Does your shower have an innie or an outie?
I presume you mean curtain in the tub or outside the tub?
It's a dual curtain, fabric curtain that stays outside the tub with an additional plastic/vinyl curtain that goes in the tub.
I haven't had an issue since I got a curved rod, but I rarely take a shower in that bathroom. We have a shower in the master bath and a shower in the downstairs bath, but this bathroom is the only one that has a tub, and I usually do a soak there rather than a shower.
Ok, so this brings up a curious thing to me. You have an inner plastic curtain and an outer fabric curtain; this makes sense to me.
But the wife put a shower curtain in our extra bathroom, that has an outer fabric curtain, but also has an inner fabric curtain? I don’t get it? If someone takes a shower in there, the bottom is going to get soaking wet?
My wife says it’s designed to drain inside the tub and then quick dry from the type of fabric? I’m like? Mmmmkay, but that’s weird?
Edit: This thread just made me go in there and look at it again. I do have to mention there are snaps about halfway up where the bottom of the inner fabric curtain can be unsnapped and thrown into a washing machine, so there’s that.
Still weird to me.
