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

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.

The t-bar broke in our shower drain. I used a little silicone to keep the drain cover in place since it wouldn’t hold a screw anymore and needed something extra to help keep hair from going down the drain. This worked perfectly. Heavy enough to stay in place and no worries about hair clogs

After finishing my bathroom renovation, I wanted to make sure hair wouldn’t clog the drain, so I decided to get this drain protector. It turned out to be a great choice! The quality is solid, and it stays in place without shifting around like some other drain covers do. It catches hair effectively while still allowing water to drain smoothly, so I don’t have to deal with slow drainage or constant cleanups. It’s a simple but effective solution, and I appreciate that it’s easy to clean. Definitely worth it for keeping the drain clear and avoiding plumbing issues!

I can say this is pretty good at catching hair because I have thick, course hair, a lot of it, and shed a lot of hair, and haven't had to snake my drain ever since I've bought this a year or so ago. Hair conditioner can build up frequently in the holes but using your regular shower/tub cleaner and scrubbing it cleans it fine. Haven't noticed any mold buildup or anything. Fits over my drain, which is a twist one.

My husband was complaining about my long hair quickly causing the shower/tub drain to drain slowly and he was having to clean the drain a lot. His short hair never caused this problem before we started sharing a shower. I also use a very emollient body wash which I believe tends to adhere to the hair going down the drain making things more gunky. I thought this device probably wouldn’t stay in place and might let hair slip under it and down into the drain anyway. Although it says “ weighted” , it’s not very heavy. And the edges don’t really suction to the tub. But, despite that I was pleasantly surprised! I have used it 3 or 4 times now and even though the water from the tub spout hits directly against it, it didn’t move. Yes the tub does drain more slowly within a few minutes as the hair and lotion like body was start collecting around this device. But I find that after I turn off the shower and wrap my hair in a towel and dry off and put on my robe, and put away my toiletries, the tub has drained just fine. And this device catches an AMAZING amount of hair. If any gets through, it couldn’t be much. And the slimy body wash has accumulated too. I just pick it up and get a paper towel and wipe everything off and into the trash. The hair catcher is clean and dry ready for next time. I don’t leave it in the shower because my husband doesn’t need it and there’s no point to leaving it wet to get gunky. I think cleaning it each time is crucial. Otherwise it collects so much hair and stays wet which gets gross fast. It will also last longer if it is cleaned after every “long hair” use. My hair is barely on top of my shoulders and not very thick. I think this would be a life saver if you have long thick hair or multiple longer hair users in your home.

I have shoulder-length, baby-fine and slippery hair. We used a tub shroom for years in our old apartment and it seemed to catch everything. Our new apartment shower has a seemingly non-removeable popup drain (we tried unscrewing it and looking online for other methods, but it just won't come out), so the shroom wasn't an option. This seemed to be the best solution, as it would fit over the pop-up drain. It seemed to work well enough, though I noticed that I rarely had to clean it. A couple of months later, however, our tub was draining slower and slower. Drano didn't work, so I used one of those plastic drain snakes and, lo and behold, a huge nasty clump of conditionery hair came out. Specifically, my hair. My boyfriend's thicker hair, which was getting caught by the hair catcher, was nowhere to be seen. I decided to test it. With the water running, I placed a few strands of my hair -- an amount that usually sheds in the shower -- right in front of the hair catcher. They were sucked right through one of the holes and into the drain. I think the idea with this design is that the hair will generally be too heavy or long to go through the holes and just end up wrapped around in a clump. But for my particular hair texture, there's not enough resistance.

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!

Works as intended & traps all the hair very well in my pop-up bath tub drain. Construction appears to be sturdy & will last a long time.

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

Must have hack for shower not so good for sink though

Tenía mis reticencias con este filtro, pero cuando lo probé, superó mis expectativas, se quedaban todos los pelos alrededor de su base, sin pasar ninguno al desagüe. No se mueve de donde lo colocas inicialmente ya q la chapa de arriba hace de contrapeso y no se mueve (salvo q lo hagas intencionalmente) y No lleva ventosa, eso es lo más curioso, es verdad q filtra el agua más despacio que si no lo tuvieses, pero a mí me compensa por el engorro q supone limpiar el desagüe de pelos. Después de cada uso, se retiran con la mano, se aclara para que no queden restos de jabón y demás para el siguiente uso y listo.

I bought two of these - one for the shower which had had a blocked drain and I didn't feel like having to unblock it again! The other for the kitchen sink which has always had drainage problems. These have really been game changers. They stop mess from getting into your drains and clogging things up and are easy to clean before you ever get to that 'yuk' stage. They also stay in place well unless you dislodge them yourself. Highly recommend and worth paying a bit extra.
