OXO Good Grips Bathtub Drain Protector

Perfect fit for the bath. Great value for money and catches hair well.

Been using this for a while now in the bath which includes the shower. I ordered the small which sits in the general groove of the plughole and on top of the silver plughole surround but it still does its job of collecting my loose hair. You get a little water build up which is bound to happen because you've reduced the hole with lots of little ones but it still drains through and if it builds up like you've loosely put a plug in, then just remove what hair has been collected - is what I've found. I molt so much and this is definitely doing its job! The plughole no longer needs to be fought with as often which is great! Obviously the plughole still gets its regular clean but being pretty much free of clogs is great! The odd stray hair may find its way through but compared to previous it's nothing! I've had this both ways around and both ways work with letting water through and collecting hair, that said if you have it sitting in the plug as opposed to the dome affect, the water isn't as easy to flow through as the holes are slightly covered by the plughole surround but that's on me for not necessarily paying attention to the measurements but the water does still flow through. I tend to remove the bath plug adapter when using this. The rubber surrounding helps as a weight and keeps it in place/good suction so no lifting up should you have a mass of water going through/collecting. Overall happy with this and would purchase again.

EDIT (DOWNGRADE TO 4 STARS): After two months usage whilst showering it's become apparent that the drain guard does indeed stay down while using but I've noticed that's only because the guard slows down the amount of water that can fit down the drain, so your bathtub fills with an inch or two of water around the drain, this weight from the water keeps the drain cover in place. That's fine and it still works very well. However contrary to my original review, it's become apparent there is no actual "suction" from the device. It does not "stick" to the bath. It only stays in place due to the water weight on top. All it takes is one gentle kick or touch, and it will move. It is still a good product, but keep your eye on the cover, as it can move about very easily if you stand over the drain when showering! I have knocked off 1 star in the rating due to the cost, combined with the fact that it is flimsier to stay in place than previous thought. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I decided to buy this drain protector over cheaper ones due to the good reviews, and I'm sick of the gross task of clearing hair out a drain! I bought the bath one. My set-up is to shower whilst standing in a bath tub. After using it a few times now, and being someone who sheds an awful lot of hair - I have to say it does it's job perfectly. It fits the bathtub drain very well, and as advertised catches all the hair during a shower. The suction on it is very good, in fact, I am impressed that it still stays down, tightly sealed even when the bathtub has filled up with a few inches of water. I have checked under the cover to see how effective it's been - and it's caught every hair so far, not a single one escaped down the drain - Despite the protector being covered in hair. It is a small, simple product and so I do believe it's slightly expensive for what it is.

There seemed to be some mixed reviews of this but I thought I'd give it a go and am really pleased I did. My last plughole cover was much bigger and seemed to get slimy quite quickly - this is much smaller and more discreet, and feels cleaner. My hair is long and after washing it in the shower, the loose hair bobs in a neat blob slightly above the cover while the water is running so I can easily just pick it up and bin it afterwards. I would definitely buy one again.

Finally, a bathtub drain protector that does the job. Before this, I used one of those star shaped drain protectors and let me tell you, those were horrible. Hair could always find its way underneath and it got very annoying. There was even mold growing despite cleaning it frequently. Just a bad product. BUT THIS. I’m at peace now. PROS: Does it Protect? - YES IT DOES. Thanks to it’s simple design, it fits perfectly over the drain without a centimetre to spare. Absolutely NO hair gets under, it all collects above/around it. Quality - high quality stainless steel with a very nice rubber that has an amazing grip. Design - the small holes are big enough for the water to pass through easily but due to its concaved design where it’s slightly elevated, hair never seeps through as it all collects on the sides. CONS: No cons, but one issue I had at first was it used to create a backlog of water, that was before the hair and everything else blocking the pipes was cleared, now it allows the water to flow perfectly. All in all, if you’re someone who has been struggling with backlogged shower drains due to the hair going in, this is FOR YOU. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you found it helpful.

Fabulous little bath plug drainer … exactly what I wanted. Catches all the hair. Fits and stays perfectly in position. Definitely would recommend.

Product fits my UK bathtub well and seems to catch most hair well to stop it going down and blocking the drain. Am sure the occasional hair will slip through, but saves most all, easy to then clean. I have also used this in the kitchen sink, and a shower room with the larger version, which also works well. Quite a fair price also.

Excellent quality! I bought this one year ago and it's still in excellent conditions. It does the job and it's easy to clean.
