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.

    Oh probably, but it’s the pubes I think about.

    I don’t like thinking about the fact that I’m having to clean up my kid’s pubes.

        I’m the only person in this house able to produce any amount of sticky white cum and that’s not where I produce it, so that would be quite surprising.
