TubShroom Tub Drain Hair Catcher Strainer, Green – Drain Protector and Hair Catcher for Bathroom Drains, Fits 1.5” – 1.75” Bathtub and Shower Tub Drains

TIME OWNED: 5 days at time of review [Updated below after 4 months, including in doggo baths!] OVERALL THOUGHTS: I've tried a ton of products to prevent lots of hair going down the tub drain because I shed so much. This one is very easy to install/remove for easy cleaning, without being big and obtrusive, and it catches a lot while hiding all that hair out of sight. I find it's best to clean it frequently and do clean mine almost every day, but it's a simple routine. This is my new favorite hair catching solution and I've stopped looking at others, for now. We'll see how it holds up. --- FULL REVIEW: Long story short, I shed a TON of my thin-but-numerous hair in the shower and it's an annoying and expensive problem, so I've been dedicated to trying products and finding a good solution for about 9 months now. Of course I can't tell if anything slips by this shroom but from what I see, it works very well to snag a ton of hair while still draining very well. The photo shows the amount of hair caught after I "pre-shed" my hair with a comb first and then took a shower (and the hair/shroom was left to dry overnight). It's also very easy to install and remove for cleaning, though I am worried about it getting moldy if left in place too long (as so many other products I've tried have done), so I have a routine I do daily to clear it out and hopefully help stave off mold as long as possible. But it's quite easy. MY CLEANING ROUTINE: 1. Turn on the water and shower/bathe as normal. 2. Before getting out of the tub to dry off, remove the shroom from the drain. Don't clean it yet!! Just leave it in the tub or put it on the edge, etc. 3. Leave it to dry overnight/until your next shower. 4. Before turning on the water for your next shower/bath, empty the DRY hair from the shroom out over the trash can. 5. Put the shroom back in place and you're back to Step 1. I find the hair (and the gunked up soap/shampoo/etc. that also inevitably gets caught) annoyingly sticks to your hand/the shroom when wet and everything drips when you move to the trash, so I just prefer to clean it when it's had a chance to dry, even if it's just a bit. You could leave the shroom in place to dry if you like! But like I said, I'm hoping pulling it out to dry faster will also help delay some of that moldy build-up as well. We'll see! MENSTRUAL CUP USERS: Because it's so easy to remove, I find it's great for when I need to empty my cup. It's just a quick added step! Clean the shroom (Step 4) but DON'T replace it just yet (Step 5). Instead, put it somewhere handy like on the edge of the tub or a shelf in the shower stall. Then turn on the water and get in the shower as normal, emptying your cup first thing. THEN replace the catcher (Step 5) and take your shower. This just makes it a bit easier than trying to fiddle with the shroom after you take your cup out and you have your hands full. ;) (And of course lets you more cleanly empty your cup directly into the drain with no obstructions.) CONS: None so far, but I'm keeping an eye on these and will be back to update if something goes amiss... - how durable it is over time (since cleaning it out frequently is best, I'm curious how long the silicone "feet" can handle the friction as it repeatedly rubs on the drain with removing/replacing it daily) - whether it starts to accumulate any mold (it's something lots of people here have mentioned but has also been my experience with every other product I've tried since, you know, water and gunk, so it's not unexpected... I just hope it's not too quickly) - how long I can go without cleaning it out (I've gotten used to cleaning these hair catchers out every day, so was doing that with this on autopilot to start. And it just seems best overall with the nature of these things. But I do want to experiment and see how long it could go before draining starts to clog.) --- Update 4 months later. Still works great and no issues. - Silicone is still in great shape with no tears or wear - No mold yet, though it has discolored but is probably not the item's fault (some of it is probably from rinsing hair dye in that shower, and the rest is probably Serratia Marcescens/iron... there's nothing to indicate any other changes that would be an issue) - With the amount of hair I lose in the shower, I can go about 3 days without clearing it before it affects drainage (I still prefer to clean it out daily but I experimented just to see heh) - I have a second one in the guest bathtub where the dog gets her monthly baths and it catches tons of her hair as well, which is considerably shorter than mine. Again, not sure if it does actually let anything slip by but it at least catches a good chunk that would otherwise go down the drain so I'm very happy with using it there also!

TubShroom does exactly what it says- collects hair from the tub drain like a champ. I was concerned it wouldn't fit in my old shallow tub drain, but it does. Not perfectly, I have to cram and wiggle to get it in right and it is starting to warp a little, but that isn't affecting its hair-catching ability. I clean it once a week, always while dry; I have to use a paper towel or wear a glove cuz I REALLLLY don't want to touch it (just thinking about that filthy soapy tangle of hair makes me gag), but this is the cleanest and easiest way to keep the drain clog-free. I'm getting more for our sinks, I'll never go without this wonderful little gadget again!

I have super long and thick hair and have tried several variations of hair collection products to prevent the shower drain from clogging with hair. I’ve found that all metal simple filters designs are hard to clean and get so disgusting that other people in the house don’t want to use them anyway. I’ve used other similar products to the tub shroom but found that they either let hair through too much or block water from draining. The tub shroom is the BEST one I’ve used. This simple, hygienic silicone doesn’t get as dirty as some of the metal mesh filters I’ve seen and is repellant to bacterial growth (though the real stainless steel and silicon e one’s are good for this too). It’s also very simple to pull the hair off of it, give it a rinse, and pop it back in. The clever design allows for water to enter in all directions and drain well, even performing adequately when the thing has quite a bit of hair in it. I bought one first for my parents house when I had to pull a monster clog out of the shower while visiting (nobody was using the gross Walmart hair filter). I pulled this sucker out a month later and it’s so good at what it does that it’s always in use and there’s NO buildup of hair in the drain below. I’m getting one for myself next!

Make hair removal as easy. Bought this item due to the amount of hair getting clogged in our bathroom drain and it’s been very helpful. The Tub Shroom works better than expected. It’s light weight and easy to remove and put back.

We just had our tub drain professionally cleared by Roto Rooter and I'm looking forward to never having to have that done again because this TubShroom does such a good job of catching hair and keeping it from going down the drain. The family member who uses this shower/tub has very short hair, and the Shroom does a great job of catching short hair.

BEST ON THE MARKET! CATCHES EVEN PET HAIR! Cleans up quickly!

Works very well but will grow mold over time. The bottom of mine is all black with black mold and grime, and it doesn’t come off. Just replaced with the metal one and hope for a better outcome

Before I bought this I knew we had hair that went down the drain, but the amount of hair after even just one shower was shocking. It was easy to install, the tub does drain a little slower than it does without it. Takes some time to get used to it being installed because it sticks up a little, so I have stepped on it multiple times. It has been pretty sturdy, even though it feels very lightweight. It is a little tacky having a bright orange hair catcher in the middle of the tub, but you get used to it.

questo prodotto è fantastico!!!! nella mia doccia non si incastra perfettamente, quindi lo "appoggio" solo sopra lo scarico, ma funziona comunque perfettamente. tutti i capelli si attorcigliano e una volta finita la doccia si tolgono e buttano facilmente (consiglio di lasciare che si asciughi perchè i capelli vengono via subito). senza lo tubshroom ogni mese - mese e mezzo dovevo ricorrere all'idraulico liquido perchè lo scarico si rallentava, spendendo quindi 7-8 euro e rischiando di danneggiare i tubi con prodotti chimici. con questo prodotto invece ho speso 10 euro una volta sola, e gli scarichi non si ostruiscono più. davvero contentissima per un oggetto così piccolo, devo dire che è proprio utile.

Este filtro es perfecto para el desagüe de mi ducha. A menudo se atascaba con el cabello pero desde que lo compré no he vuelto a tener problemas. Es flexible y se pone, se retira y se limpia fácilmente. Excelente producto y muy resistente.

Je l'ai pris pour ma douche car j'avais mesuré mon siphon avant (!!! 4cm). Il faut surtout pas l'enfoncer jusqu'au bout car c'est sur les côtés qu'il collecte les cheveux (et l'air passe par les trous du dessus). Ce système est bien mieux que les grilles que j'avais avant qui empêchaient vite l'eau de s'écouler. Avec le Shroom, l'eau s'évacue sans soucis et mes cheveux restent au bas du shroom.

فعلا رائعة وعمليه
