Well hello there. If you know anything about me, you probably know that I have a lot of hair. Like, a lot. And it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. I’m actually seeing how long it can get. From past experience in middle school, that is somewhere around my waist.
The more hair I get, the more high maintenance it becomes. The drying time alone…geesh. But one of the main problems with this heavy mane is in the shower, when my hair likes to go down the drain and clog it up. That’s no good. No one likes pooling water at their feet in the shower. No, no.
I’ve used those plastic covers for the drains before. They’ve done me well but sometimes they clog up too or get all gross and mildewy. So when DrainWig reached out to this redhead and asked if I wanted to try their hair catching drain catchers, I was totally on board.
They offer two types of drain savers (one for showers, one for tubs), but really, if you have a tub they both will work. And look how cute these are?!
Basically they are a cord that you thread down your shower drain and then suction cup the sailboat or flower to your shower. That’s it. Then you just shower as normal. Once you find that water pooling at your ankles (2-4 months later) you just pull it out, toss it in the garbage, and replace it. That’s it.
They say you can use them about 2-4 months without replacing. I am working on month three here (obviously since I was in shorts when I installed it!), and the water still slides smoothly down the drain without a clog in sight. I’m hoping with just one person using my shower it will last quite a few months!
I am definitely a super fan of these easy to use, drain saving, non-ankle pooling devices.
With Christmas coming up wouldn’t this be a fun stocking stuffer for the long-haired lady in your life? 😉 Or, you can just win the set below. Yes, even better, right?

DrainWig provided me with the product to give it a shot in my shower but all opinions and hair are my own.
What a neat product! Sometimes I wonder how I have any hair left when I look at what’s in my drain and what’s on my bathroom floor and in my hair brush.
I totally agree! SO much hair falls out of my head each day. It’s a miracle I still have so much!
What a clever idea. My 2 grandsons have slope is ( no body hair) so my son in law always knew who’s hair was holding up the flow in the bathtub drain.
Uh-oh! No getting off the hook with whose hair was down the drain!
I love this product and your blog post!! I am having some major hair-in-drain issues with three people using one shower!! I am telling you, reaching down in the bellows of the shower drain pipe to pull out slime-covered hair is not a fun weekend afternoon!! However, this is not “something fun,” as was your request. What would be fun is if I was given such a pretty DrainWig Product!!!! No more slimy hair!! Whoo!!!
Thanks for always keeping us all in the know!!
