OXO 1288100 Good Grips Shower Stall Drain Protector, White/Black, A

I will upload a picture/video later but this thing fit so snugly and perfectly, at a glance you would think it's how the shower was supposed to be like! Functionwise it does the job and catches hair as it's supposed to. The silicone edges makes it stable and ensures that the filter doesn't move around. And the multiple holes/angle of the filter makes it not collect water. It's extremely easy to clean, just wipe away the caught hair with a tissue and it all easily falls off. The previous pre-built filter had a housing that encouraged bacteria growth, so it was a nightmare to clean. Because this is much more breathable, the whole thing should not catch as much bacteria as the plastic alternative.

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!

I purchased this item as I was fed up with clearing the blocked shower drain with a plunger and drain cleaner. I live in a household with two ladies, both of whom wash their hair in the shower. The inevitable result is that within a week of regular use the shower tray starts to fill up with water and won't drain away as it is blocked with fine hair which the standard shower strainer will not catch. I decided to give the OXO a go as a quick and cheap remedy. If it didn't work then nothing was lost! I replaced the standard drainer with OXO and what a difference! The OXO catches the fine hair very easily and the advantage is that you can see the hair accumulating on its top face. The OXO is very easy to clean as one can push the hair off the filter with one's fingers and then rinse the soap scum off. A first class, simple product that works really well. In my shower tray it is possible to accidentally push the OXO off the drain with one's foot as there is no securing mechanism to keep it in place but it's a small point otherwise I would have given it 5 stars!

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!

This works really well for catching hair and keeping it from blocking the shower trap. It's a great match for the size of my (standard?) shower drain and stays in place. Hair accumulates in the middle and is fairly easy to clean off. Build quality is excellent, very solid with a robust rubber surround. Flow is not as good as the uncovered drain, although much better than the uncovered drain filled with hair. I'd like one of these that pushed the holes a little closer together to allow more flow and less metal.

There are 3 people with long hair in my home so, over the years, I’ve tried lots of different shower hair traps. All have been made of plastic or rubber type materials and have been of varying designs. They all had decent suction but they’ve all also been prone to blocking whilst showering, usually due to a combination of the quantity of hair and the positioning of the drainage holes leading to water building up around your ankles. The hair was easy to remove from most although one, with more protruding “teeth”, proved a bit more fiddly. All of the traps discoloured (dark yucky stains) within a few weeks and this could never be entirely cleaned off. So my experience of shower traps was not great. THIS OXO GOOD GRIPS SHOWER TRAP WORKS ! It doesn’t use suction to keep it in place but the stainless steel flat, holey, disc is encircled in a non slip material so it stays in place over the drain. The holes are numerous and small but, for some reason, the water easily flows through and the hair doesn’t. The hair is easily wiped off and, several weeks into its use, it looks as good as new; no discolouration or mould. I’ll definitely be buying this item again, if I ever need to replace it, and fully recommended it to other long haired people.

Good quality and it does stop the hair. It just also stops the soap/suds.. Meaning it blocks the holes and the the water, shower then overflows. Kind of annoying 🤦🏻‍♀️

Superb product which actually does the job.
