TubShroomTub Hair Catcher Protector, Fits 1.5" - 1.75" Drain, Gray

Excellent item! This works great and is easy to clean! It is made of flexible plastic so it allows water to flow normally and is easy to insert and remove from the drain. It catches a lot of hair and needs to be cleaned every day or two. Highly recommend!

TIME OWNED: 5 days at time of review [Updated below after 4 months, including in doggo baths!]OVERALL THOUGHTS: I've tried a ton of products to prevent lots of hair going down the tub drain because I shed so much. This one is very easy to install/remove for easy cleaning, without being big and obtrusive, and it catches a lot while hiding all that hair out of sight. I find it's best to clean it frequently and do clean mine almost every day, but it's a simple routine. This is my new favorite hair catching solution and I've stopped looking at others, for now. We'll see how it holds up.---FULL REVIEW: Long story short, I shed a TON of my thin-but-numerous hair in the shower and it's an annoying and expensive problem, so I've been dedicated to trying products and finding a good solution for about 9 months now. Of course I can't tell if anything slips by this shroom but from what I see, it works very well to snag a ton of hair while still draining very well. The photo shows the amount of hair caught after I "pre-shed" my hair with a comb first and then took a shower (and the hair/shroom was left to dry overnight). It's also very easy to install and remove for cleaning, though I am worried about it getting moldy if left in place too long (as so many other products I've tried have done), so I have a routine I do daily to clear it out and hopefully help stave off mold as long as possible. But it's quite easy.MY CLEANING ROUTINE:1. Turn on the water and shower/bathe as normal.2. Before getting out of the tub to dry off, remove the shroom from the drain. Don't clean it yet!! Just leave it in the tub or put it on the edge, etc.3. Leave it to dry overnight/until your next shower.4. Before turning on the water for your next shower/bath, empty the DRY hair from the shroom out over the trash can.5. Put the shroom back in place and you're back to Step 1.I find the hair (and the gunked up soap/shampoo/etc. that also inevitably gets caught) annoyingly sticks to your hand/the shroom when wet and everything drips when you move to the trash, so I just prefer to clean it when it's had a chance to dry, even if it's just a bit. You could leave the shroom in place to dry if you like! But like I said, I'm hoping pulling it out to dry faster will also help delay some of that moldy build-up as well. We'll see!MENSTRUAL CUP USERS:Because it's so easy to remove, I find it's great for when I need to empty my cup. It's just a quick added step! Clean the shroom (Step 4) but DON'T replace it just yet (Step 5). Instead, put it somewhere handy like on the edge of the tub or a shelf in the shower stall. Then turn on the water and get in the shower as normal, emptying your cup first thing. THEN replace the catcher (Step 5) and take your shower. This just makes it a bit easier than trying to fiddle with the shroom after you take your cup out and you have your hands full. ;) (And of course lets you more cleanly empty your cup directly into the drain with no obstructions.)CONS: None so far, but I'm keeping an eye on these and will be back to update if something goes amiss...- how durable it is over time (since cleaning it out frequently is best, I'm curious how long the silicone "feet" can handle the friction as it repeatedly rubs on the drain with removing/replacing it daily)- whether it starts to accumulate any mold (it's something lots of people here have mentioned but has also been my experience with every other product I've tried since, you know, water and gunk, so it's not unexpected... I just hope it's not too quickly)- how long I can go without cleaning it out (I've gotten used to cleaning these hair catchers out every day, so was doing that with this on autopilot to start. And it just seems best overall with the nature of these things. But I do want to experiment and see how long it could go before draining starts to clog.)---Update 4 months later. Still works great and no issues.- Silicone is still in great shape with no tears or wear- No mold yet, though it has discolored but is probably not the item's fault (some of it is probably from rinsing hair dye in that shower, and the rest is probably Serratia Marcescens/iron... there's nothing to indicate any other changes that would be an issue)- With the amount of hair I lose in the shower, I can go about 3 days without clearing it before it affects drainage (I still prefer to clean it out daily but I experimented just to see heh)- I have a second one in the guest bathtub where the dog gets her monthly baths and it catches tons of her hair as well, which is considerably shorter than mine. Again, not sure if it does actually let anything slip by but it at least catches a good chunk that would otherwise go down the drain so I'm very happy with using it there also!

Loose hair at my shower drain has always been a problem in my bathroom!You'd think I'm going bald or something! 😬🤭😂And during my showers (for years) I've had to just kick the hair away from the drain to let the backed-up water escape!!Well ... this is the 2nd purchase of this product that I've made (the first was for my wife's shower/tub ... and she liked it so much I decided to get another one for myself!)The hair gets caught inside this strainer without clogging up the drain!Gone are the days of standing in backed up water! This product is absolutely great and you need this in your tub! Highly recommend this to everyone who's losing hair and wants their clogged up shower to be a thing of the past!Get one (or more) for yourself ... you'll be happy that you did! 😍

I got this TubShroom on "Prime Day" when it was a lightning deal or something. I didn't even really know what exactly I was buying but it had good ratings and I really needed something to stop all the hair that my husband and I, as well as our Yorkie who gets bathed weekly, shed from going down the drain. I had been using a metal strainer type thing and it was sickening and also clogged so fast that water would start to build up during a shower and I would have to reach down and remove the strainer and just let the water flow freely (along with all the hair and other yucky stuff).When I saw this thing, I thought it was never going to fit. I put it into the drain hole and it stuck up a little ways and I thought it was ill fitting. Finally I decided to actually read the instructions and saw that is normal. So I left it in the drain and continued on. Water went down freely and didn't cause any sort of shallow pond when we showered. But then yesterday, it seemed sluggish going down. I pulled out the TubShroom and YIKES. I think a wig could have been made from all the hair in there. There was also remains of body wash or shampoo or something mixed it. Not pretty. I let it dry for a few hours because the introductions say that you can simply wipe the hair off if the shroom is dry. I wasn't able to do that. I was able to get the stuff off fairly easily but not in one little swipe. I gently cleaned it and put it back. I made a mental note to check the shroom every few days so it doesn't block the water flow. I think it is great. It looks silly, especially since I bought blue, but it does work.I took a star off because we can't go a full week with the shrrom in. It has to be cleaned every 3-4 days. I also can't just simply wipe the junk off in one easy step. But it isn't like I have to pull the hair and junk off in little pieces. It does come off pretty well especially if the shroom is dry. I think it is helping to keep our drain from clogging and I hope it holds up for a while. I don't mind that it is sort of ugly. It does the job.
