I feel like an idiot for not knowing about these.
Every 2-3 months I have to snake out our shower drain with a 25’ snake. Giant PITA.
After some web searches, I stumbled across these hair trap devices. They come in both external and internal configurations. Many different types to choose from.
I purchased an internal one, installed it, and am going to give it a try. In theory I can just pop it out and clean it instead of snaking the pipes. Folks tell me they work well. If this one doesn’t work I’ll try another type. They are fairly inexpensive.
Been using a Tub Shroom for the past few years and it works great!
My solution to the problem was to preemptively lose all my hair in my thirties but yours probably works too.
I know I’m in a tiny minority, but I wish I had gone bald. I hate getting haircuts and I just shave it all off when it gets unmanageable.
Look up st baldricks and see if they do events in your area. It’s shave your head for childhood cancer research and you can donate the hair too. I do it once a year and just let my hair grow in between shaves.
Thanks. I will definitely do that, but my hair is crazy. I have to shave like once every 3 months.
I’m super lazy. I started losing my hair at age 14 and it was pretty much all over by 30. I didn’t give in and start shaving the fringes until 40-something
I asked a guy sitting behind me in training if it was noticeable, because I couldn’t really tell in the mirror since it was so far back. He said yes, so there it went. I decided to take possession of who I was and get rid of it all, no sense in lying about it or covering it up. Before then I personally buzzed it to a quarter inch.
They’re fantastic! Ours is a tub shroom.
They’re fantastic until your 9 year old takes the rubber plug with hair in it and drops it down the drain.
We’re waiting on a plumber to come snake it out. However, that aside, they really are fantastic at catching the hair. 100% recommended.
Also, talk to your kids about not dropping shit into the drains (hair, objects, and/or shit) and make sure they know it’s not a bottomless void.
Education is important 😂
What’s wrong with poop going down the drain?
That should be fine. Just make sure to stomp* the waffle
Damn how much hair you losing in there. People shaving animals in your shower or what!!?
As a father of a girl who inherited my both curly and wavy hair that refuses to ever get a haircut, a hair trap in the shower is a godsend.
And cleaning it out is gross.
Yeah, I always glove up when I clean out the p-traps under the sinks. The smell is the worst part.
I think the part that stinks is all the dead skin sticking to the hair and all the skin oils and bacteria accumulating on that mass.
