OXO Good Grips Silicone Shower & Tub Drain Protector

Great product, I honestly cannot give it enough credit. I’ve been using it for the last 3 years and 8 months, and it’s still going strong. It hasn’t developed any smell, hasn’t lost its shape, and the color looks just like new. I keep it in my shower and it works perfectly. It stays in place, doesn’t move around even with water running over it, and no hair gets past it while the water drains smoothly. Cleaning it is super easy; I only give it a quick clean once every few months and that’s more than enough. At first, it did seem a bit expensive compared to the cheaper alternatives on the market, but I’m so glad I went for this one. The quality speaks for itself it’s durable, reliable, and looks like it will last for many more years. Even after all this time, the price hasn’t changed, which says a lot about the consistency of the brand. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It does its job perfectly, just as described, and has exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommended!

Excellent product and saves a lot of hassle in cleaning out hairs from the tub. Highly recommended. Sticks nicely around the plug hole and doesn't move. Easy to clean the shower now. Thank you!

Effectively catches hair, and easy to remove for cleaning, but it does restrict flow to a surprising extent, even while clean. This means that water does pool a little, arguably making it redundant. But then, it does make removing trapped hair easier than without, so worthwhile as a cleaning aid even if not a fast drainage solution.

Works perfectly for me! Caught all my long hair, very happy with it.

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

Having considered a number of the cheaper silicone protectors or the sink-style steel filters, I chose this partly because of the brand name and partly because of the positive reviews. Since (in my case) more than one person uses the shower ever day, there's a pretty good argument for paying a little more for quality and longevity, and I haven't been disappointed over the last few months. The key thing is that the surface around your water outlet must be flat and the plughole itself must be level - so traditional baths or shower cubicles should be fine. The protector looks good, is clearly well made, feels solid and certainly isn't likely to bend or break, nor is it so light and flimsy that it will be moved just by the shower water. Having said that, I'm not sure it would stay in place for a bath, since it is really it's own weight and the small rubber border that keeps it in place rather than any suction cups. It also works. It is in a shower unit used by two long haired shower users apart from myself, and this has stopped everything, I have very fine shorter hair and it has also caught this. It's very easy to clean (just lift it up and wipe/pull of the hairs or any other debris) and shines up well with normal bathroom cleaners. There's nothing pleasant about a blocked shower and having to dig out old and soap-slimy hairs from a blocked outlet or plug, or using the dangerous and often corrosive cleaners (if you have to, "One Shot" is the best product for this), and this protector has totally stood the test of time and intense use - I haven't even had to think about cleaning the drain since getting it - so I can recommend without hesitation ... as long as you have the right kind of bath or shower floor. A worthwhile investment!

So my shower is at the opposite end of the drainage, and I think that's something relevant. Because maybe that's why the water and soap don't go through easily. Yes, it looks amazing and it feels like good quality, and yes it keeps all the hair from going through. But yes, it also keeps the soap floating in the tub and the water takes ages to go. So in the end, I need to take it off and let everything go through (with some hairs, unfortunately). But I guess if you have the shower head right above it, there shouldn't be any problem? As the pressure of the water will help the flow.

Superb product which actually does the job.
