STARFISH HAIR CATCHER WHITE

The Starfish Drain Cover from Umbra was delivered very fast and was incredibly easy to fit. The cover has small suckers underneath each of the star 'corners' and these attach the drain cover to the bath. I have a pop up waste cover in the bath tub which I removed to apply this star drain cover. The bath is mainly used for showers so this solution works for me.The star cover is slightly domed shaped which means the support for the pop up waste is well accommodated without getting in the way. To use the bath tub for a bath rather than a a shower, I simply replace the pop up waste by removing the start cover and screwing back the metal fitting. The star cover is made of soft silicone like material. I opted for the white version and it looks good with the white bath tub. It fully covers the drain waste whilst allowing water to drain nicely and it is very good at catching most of the long hair which would otherwise risk getting stuck in the drain pipe. I simply remove the collected hair after each use and dispose of it in the bin. I purchased this item because the water from the bath was draining very slowly after five years from having anew bath tub fitted. My plumber cleaned the pipes and the offending item was a large ball of hair which accumulated over the years. He recommended I get this sort of drain cover to prevent future problems and I ma very pleased with this solution. Avery simple and incredibly effective idea which works extremely well.

Absolute game changer as I have very long hair and my shower would block every time I washed my hair, but with this simple little device it makes it so much easier to clean as the hair collects on top so I don’t have to dismantle the the plug at all, and suction cups hold it in place perfectly

Wanted to find a hair catcher that catches my long hair and also covers our shower plug hole. The hair catcher worked very well in our shower and catches the hair. It was huge enough to cover the en-suite shower plug hole and did not lift or slide about when someone is in the shower. The suction stays in place, unlike the Dossil Hexapus that I purchase, which was not big enough to cover the shower plug and also floated about in the shower tray when showering. Tested it also in our bathroom, the suction does not stay as well in the bath due to the curvature of a bath, but it still did catch most of the hair. Did not get full five stars, as when the item arrived, it was well wrap in the amazon box but the white catcher had some black marks, which I washed off with some soap before used.

I had this product about six years ago, and I still remember how fantastic it was. I was living in a flatshare at the time with lots of girls, and hair constantly ended up blocking the drain, until we got this. It did exactly what it was meant to do and saved us from endless drain issues. Such a simple idea, but really effective, especially in shared bathrooms. it's quite large in size so should fit over any drain, we never had any issues with sturdiness

The item arrived a bit later than Prime expectation.. Made of a good material and easy to fix and remove for cleaning purpose.. and it does the job it's designed for The three stars are due to hugely over pricing.. Its just a rubber/plastic piece with no mechanical properties etc, so why it should be that expensive..

Discolours (black) pretty quickly. Cant get it out. Won't be buying any more.

My bath tub has a pop-up drain. You need to remove the top od the drain before placing this. It does not stretch over the pop-up drain cover. Follow-up review: The fourth picture is after 4 months despite some cleaning in between. The suction power is pointless as there are gaps and hair gets through. Thats the hair after 2-3 hair washes which i removed from the drain. The black stuff is mould and cant be cleaned unless i guess i dunknit in bleach cleaner. But i dont think i have any use for this, definitely not in the kitchen sink. Learning point: plastic/silicone products in wet area need frequent cleaning and attract mould.

It looks super original in the bath tub! And works well. The 'arms' of the starfish stretch out wide over the sink hole. It curves down so hair gets nicely led to the middle part easy to lift it up and clean the top! I like it so much I convinced a friend and just ordered one for her too. Better solution than the ugly ones that just fit and 'float up'... The suction cups on the 'arms' hold it down nicely. Definitely something I'll be using forever more!
