cleanning is a hassle November 5, 2009 D. Kale The mesh blocks everything very quickly. However, the holes are small and the size of the strainer is not large either, so it has to be cleaned very frequently and thoroughly which is not really great.
Love it September 3, 2009 Hilary L. Thomas (Washington, D.C.) I have long, thick hair. Pulling it off of my comb each time I shower and setting it aside to throw away was helping my drain stay clear, but I know some hair gets through. I bought this to help catch what I don't put to the side.
It fits into my bathtub drain just fine. Mesh is very small to catch everything, and it did. I will probably have to clean the thing out after every shower, but that's okay. If any soap gets caught up a quick rinse under hot water and a bit of rubbing at the mesh with thumb and forefinger clean it off. If it starts to build up a soap scum I spray it with Tilex and hit with an old toothbrush. Ta da.
It's a good, cheap and preventative measure that means less snaking the pipes and less standing water in the tub.
Works, but ugly August 18, 2009 H. Rogers This thing gets clogged up and ugly looking pretty quickly. You can clean out the hair relatively easily, but not the soap that starts clogging the mesh.
It does the job, but it's not very girlfriend compatible.
This one's a winner !!!! July 30, 2009 Tony Polito (Greenville, North Carolina) I ordered this one in from Amazon after not having too much luck with Hair Stopper - Drain Protector by Evriholder Products.
Basically what I've discovered is the holes in the rubber ones are either too few to let enough water down the drain (once they catch the least bit of hair) ... or too many and too large and let the hair down the drain.
The stainless mesh ones fill the bill. Plenty of open space for the water to get through. Yet the mesh is fine enough to stop just about anything. Mine even catches any soap residue that isn't fully dissolved.
I was concerned that, without a seal, some hair would slip under the outer rim and directly into the drain. I can't tell for sure, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Plus it's a much easier clean-up compared to the Evriholder mentioned above.
I've also got the larger version in the kitchen sink now and it's doing it's job there as well.
It's a wonder these things don't come standard issue, as they do a much better job that the usual old-school devices that come in sinks and tubs.
Anyway, try this one first. After trying several of the rubber ones, I found stainless steel mesh is really the way to go.
Fits bath tub drain and works well June 8, 2009 K. Chan Arrived as expected and fits in my bath tub drain. Trapping hair for the past week since it arrived.
