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.
My solution to the problem was to preemptively lose all my hair in my thirties but yours probably works too.
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 mean if you think about it- there’s also pubes there.
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.
