OXO Good Grips Silicone Shower & Tub Drain Protector, Hair Drain Catcher

I like these so much I bought three. (See pics of the 3rd one I just bought). It's pretty well designed, like most OXO products. It catches medium to long hair just fine (hair ends up around the base of the dome). Installation is so simple - just plop it over the drain and it stays there. The weight is enough as well, heavy enough to stay put with water but not too heavy to move. Though it's not really suctioned as some mentioned. So if you stand close to your drain in the shower, you may move it if you accidentally kick it. Wasn't too much of a problem for me as it still stayed down while it shifted and it's not that easy to accidentally tip over. Removing and cleaning it is easy. You should probably remove the hair fairly often so it doesn't stay there and collect. Also will need to clean the silicone by wiping somewhat often so it doesn't get too dirty over time. The one minor nitpick I have is that water drains a bit more slowly, so you may end up with more suds staying in the bathtub longer. It's still fast enough for me, and it's not a huge deal as I clean the tub and drain regularly, but something to consider. Overall, quite happy with this product!

I have long, thick, brown hair. I live in an apartment. The shower is nothing special. Literally after EVERY shower, my hair would clog up the drain. I honestly don't even know how I still have so much hair with all that I lose each time I shower. Anyway, I had bought one of those plastic shower snake things and was using that after each shower to clean my hair out but that just was not practical. Plus it never got all the hair and it was gross. Mildew and other disgusting things would come up with the hair each time I used it, making the shower a mess. I needed to do something else so I bought a white, cheap, spikey, drain protector hair catcher but it didn't fit my bathtub drain because I have a large, tall plug that can't be taken off (see picture), and it was too short. I cut a hole in the top of it so it would fit, and that worked for about 2 weeks and then it would just float around, and hair would get underneath it. SO, I looked online and saw this. It looked tall enough that it fit over the plug and I've bough OXO products before, so I felt safe buying it. I had my apartment's maintenance staff come and clean the hair out, and then I started using this. It is a thick plastic, and it is heavy so no hair slips underneath it. It also doesn't move around. It stays put. My husband gets fuzzy's in his belly button from his hospital scrubs and it also catches the fuzzies which had also been clogging up the drain. After the shower, it is easy to pull the hair off of it. The other drain protector I had (the white, spikey one), would really hang on to the hair and I had a hard time getting it out. With this one, it is very easy. And I have literally had NO issues with the drain being clogged since using it, which is amazing. Like I said before, prior to this, I had a clogged drain after every shower. Also before I had this, I would feel the need to put my hair on the sides of the shower so after, when I got out, I could clean it off with a tissue and it wouldn't go into the drain. Now, I just let all the hair fall because I know it won't go down the drain and get clogged. It is also easy to clean. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this product if you have had similar problem as I have. I've added two photos for reference.

Good for rentals, fits over my tub’s drain that sticks up since I can’t replace it with a flat one. Catches short and longer hair just fine. Does slow draining some, but water still gets through and down just fine. Stays in place too. Eventually switched to a cheaper knock off that works about the same when this one’s plastic got a little gross. Can clean but I’d prefer a stainless option if it was still this shape.

Pros -Catches my hair and works well -Silicone stays clean, no grime build up after over 4 months with maybe 1 or 2 times I actually gave it a wash (not that it looked like it needed it - no smell from it, shower products don't seem to stick) -Silicone base stays in place and doesn't move around when water runs on top of or around it -Hair is easy to clean off (doesn't get stuck in those holes). Doesn't matter if hair is long or short because my partner's hair (maybe a inch or two long) is also caught by it without sliding through the holes -Feels like quality material but is still a cheap price Minor Con but not really: -I personally don't mind this but some might: I clean the hair off this thing after every shower. If you don't the hair will build up and cover those holes and the water takes longer to drain. I think the longest I went without cleaning hair off was like 4 days but by that time my hair was covering so much that a good puddle was left in the shower that took over an hour to drain (I lose a lot of hair lol). Not a big deal to me because the hair doesn't stick or tangle in the holes, it just wraps around, so you can just wipe it right off and it takes literally 3 seconds. If you're looking for something to put down and forget about for a few weeks you might wanna go with those in-drain hair catcher things (but those get really gross from personal experience so this is a better option to me. It's up to you if you wanna do a little work everyday that isn't gross or have to deal with one gross thing every month or so)

Love this. Keep it in a bathtub that has a raised (pop up type) bathtub drain when taking showers.

For sure stops hair from going down the drain, but does allow water to pool up while you shower so your ankle deep in water by the end of your shower.

The apartment management company left one of those little wire mesh drain strainers which lasts about two showers before it's so clogged with scum that the water starts backing up and you have to remove the strainer, which defeats the purpose. The Oxo model stays in place during the shower and catches the hair without clogging with soap scum. It goes over the drain which means it has bigger surface area so you don't need to remove the hair quute as often. Installation is as easy as just putting it over the drain. This solved a really annoying problem permanently. My partner would just kick the old strainer out instead of trying to clean it, and this annoyed me because then I was stuck pouring drain cleaner down the shower drain and then flushing it with hot water after a while just to solve his hair clogs. Our building has old 1950s plumbing so you don't want to use harsh drain cleaners if you really don't have to and the management uses Yardi and their answer to everything is find a way to document that it's the tenant's fault and threaten fines. So you don't want to contact maintenance unless it's a last resort.

I’ve been really happy with the OXO Good Grips Silicone Shower & Tub Drain Protector. It fits securely over the drain and does a great job catching hair without blocking water flow, which has helped prevent clogs. The silicone material is easy to clean and stays in place nicely, even with daily showers.

It really really traps the hair but clogs the water. You have to literally stand above it to make the water drain through it.

Cumple con su función

J'étais un peu inquiète au regard de certains commentaires, mais ce produit est génial ! Mes cheveux longs n'avaient de cesse d'obstruer la bonde en relief de la douche. Le bac n'étant pas totalement lisse, je craignais que ce filtre ne tienne pas au fond. Or, si ! Il ne bouge pas (la partie métallique sur le dessus sert de plomb). Certes, l'eau s'évacue un peu plus doucement, mais ce n'est vraiment pas un problème. Merci beaucoup pour cette invention !!!

Not heavy enough to stay where is suppose to be in a storm

Great little gadget, as expected from OXO (never been disappointed, yet). It fits easily over a pop up waste and does a fine job of catching all the hair that sheds during washing. It's easy to scoop up the hair and bin it and we've been using it for months and nothing seems to slip by it. Good value, best design, OXO for the win again.
