ConTact Brand SelfAdhesive SemiTransparent Privacy Film

We bought our house about a year ago and have been looking for an effective, budget friendly solution for our master bathroom window since then. We have a 5 foot window that looks straight through the master bath out to the street when the blinds are open, but when they are closed, it is very dark. We wanted the natural light but also wanted to keep our privacy. I've looked at hardware stores for reasonably priced privacy film and the cheapest material we could find that covered the area we needed started around $40. I found this on Amazon a few weeks ago and it seemed too good to be true - $5 for 9 feet?? Definitely worth trying for the price, even if it didn't work. Having tried it, I am extremely satisfied and have even recommended it to several family members. It works just like contact paper but has the light-diffusing diamond pattern that provides great privacy as long as you are further than about 8 inches from the window. If you are right up against it (as my toddlers like to do) you can see them from outside, but as soon as you walk a bit further from the window, everything is completely obscured. I found it relatively easy to apply, and put it up using the heel of my hand to press it on and smooth out any bubbles. Even if there are bubbles, they are almost impossible to see from the inside - I pretty much had to run my hands over to find them. It is forgiving material and I was able to stick and re-stick it a few times if I started a row then realized it wasn't level, and it didn't seem to leave any residue behind. We have been using it for several weeks now and it has performed admirably, even when the bathroom gets very humid. Even if it were to wear off in time (which I don't see it doing for years) it would be inexpensive to replace. Definitely a wonderful product that I would use again in a heartbeat because of the price, quality, and ease of use.
