It is, by far, the best tool I&#8217;ve used to prevent hair from clogging the bath tub drain. I&#8217;ve always had long, thick, dark hair and clogging shower stalls\/bathtubs has been a perpetual problem I&#8217;ve dealt with&#8230;until now! <\/p>\n<p>The design is very clever. The TubShroom sits inside your drain with the top half inch or so rising above tub-level. Water goes through the holes on the inner column of the TubShroom while leaving space to catch hair and gunk. And yes, like any other hair-catching tool, it must be manually emptied into the trash can periodically. But the process is the easiest and cleanest one I&#8217;ve had to do in my years of using various hair-collecting drain tools. I&#8217;ve tried all the others. The large plastic\/metal covers with holes in them (or even worse, convex hills) get kicked around the tub and hair simply slides underneath them into the drain (especially if you have a tiled shower floor). And gathering up the hair that collects around the floor of your shower\/tub is gross. The simple mesh strainers seem like a good idea, but they quickly get impregnated with soap scum that requires solid scrubbing to clean and get water through. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think the Amazon reviews are as high as they should be; it seems the top complaints are 1) the Tub Shroom not working in non-standard drains; and 2) that it needs to be emptied. To remedy this, make sure you have the metal &#8220;X&#8221; inside your drain that the tool sits on before purchasing. And as for emptying, I used to have to clean out other drain tools every time I showered to prevent myself from ending up in a puddle. With the Tub Shroom, I can now empty it every 4-5 showers, which is a vast improvement.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bathtub hair stopper<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31866"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31866"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31868,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31866\/revisions\/31868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
