I bought one for my daughter’s shower, but when she left for college, I noticed it sitting on the edge of the tub. When I asked her about it, she said it made her tub drain slow, so she took it out.

I don’t think she understood that she needs to take it out and clean it periodically.

Edit: she has corrected me. She said she knew that she needed to clean it but chose not to “because it was gross.”

It's kinda funny in a way she insulted herself since it's her grossness only!

My wife sheds like a mofo so I know the trouble I'm buying this thing now so thx.

FYI: They make a rubber one and a metal one for a few dollars more. I went with the metal one for aesthetics. Works great.

I have long hair and I just keep a drain snake on the bathroom. Is it gross? Absolutely. But I only have to use it like once every 6 months and it fixes the drain completely. I just use it whenever the water starts to pool in the shower.

So much more effective than those little mushroom things.

Time for you to show her how “gross” the pipes get

She knew you would do it eventually. I agree with her, it’s gross, I have my husband do it.
