OXOGood Grips Bathtub Drain Protector

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 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.

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.

Bit expensive, but works perfectly, stops any bits from going in the drain, and a perfect fit for the pop up plugs.

I bought this for our shower as the drain hasn’t got a filter to block hair.It fits our drain perfectly. The silicon bit helps it stay in place. After a few days of use, I believe it was able to catch all the hair. It’s very easy to remove the hair from the filter, thanks to the metallic smooth surface.It does affect water flow slightly. But I think it would if you put any filter on top of the drain.Very happy purchase!

Very good! Fits perfect, especially compared to others as I previously bought one on here that was very sturdy and nice looking but didn't quite fit as it left a little gap for the hair to go under

I just moved to a new house with old sinks and appalling looking drain holes which lost their covers. After almost loosing one of my earrings into the drain, I decided to look for covers. Found this OXO mesh that looked good and had good reviews so I ordered one to try. It was better then expected. It Instantly made the drain looking like new, it had a good grip thanks to the silicone surround, staying in place even with quite strong flow from the tap. The plughole in my sink is 2 1/2" and the cover fits perfectly. I think they should go with the dome being upwards but I preferred it inwards. It didn't affect water draining very much and did a good job at catching little bits and hair. Anyway, I was going to give it five stars. Well impressed, I ordered another two for the same bathroom. This is where it looses two stars. The other two covers, were not the same colour which is not a big deal but I was a bit disappointed because I hoped they would match. But the biggest problem - the quality of the silicone surround is different. It is stiffer and the cover would slide easily. Every time I open the tap, it goes sideways. If I knew I would get the same quality as the first one, I would replace these two otherwise I would look for something else.

Works very well to catch the hair although if your shower is powerful it may cause a build up until the water drains
