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.
When it’s your teenage daughter’s pubes, it’s a lot grosser.
I guess everyone gets wierded out by something else. Pubes of an offspring seem to me like a breath of fresh air after all the urine and poo and puking… well, puking may come again, but their babyhood prepares you for the things to come ;)
