Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this one in from Amazon after not having too much luck with Hair Stopper - Drain Protector by Evriholder Products.
Basically what I've discovered is the holes in the rubber ones are either too few to let enough water down the drain (once they catch the least bit of hair) ... or too many and too large and let the hair down the drain.
The stainless mesh ones fill the bill. Plenty of open space for the water to get through. Yet the mesh is fine enough to stop just about anything. Mine even catches any soap residue that isn't fully dissolved.
I was concerned that, without a seal, some hair would slip under the outer rim and directly into the drain. I can't tell for sure, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Plus it's a much easier clean-up compared to the Evriholder mentioned above.
I've also got the larger version in the kitchen sink now and it's doing it's job there as well.
It's a wonder these things don't come standard issue, as they do a much better job that the usual old-school devices that come in sinks and tubs.
Anyway, try this one first. After trying several of the rubber ones, I found stainless steel mesh is really the way to go.
UPDATE [February, 2011]: Ok, a year and a half in, and I STILL say this one's a winner. It still performs just as I first described. Plus I discovered it is durn easy to clean when it starts getting soap build-up ... I just toss it into the washer with a load of towels and it comes out spit-shine clean. Look no further.
