With four females in this house, I’m getting this little gadget! My husband has resorted to mesh wire under the shower drain. Our drain cover has rather wide slots. While this helps, it is still nasty. Last night we were watching a movie, and I said I smell pee. He did too. So a hunting we did go. Turns out it was the SHOWER! UGH! Must have been the hair/shampoo/soap concoction turned sour. Knew I had read something about baking soda on OGT and I just did all three drains upstairs. I used the soda and vinegar method. If that doesn’t cut it, I am moving on to the next one! Wish me success!

Awesome and simple. .. simply love it!

Since most intruders are opportunistic, these can present you with a lots of security for the small quantity
of cost. These cameras are very effective actually able to transmit images through
floors, ceilings and doors. A thief or employee is less likely to
attempt to steal from a place where cameras are visible
or should they have understanding of hidden wireless cameras.

Or they can comprise a single unit inside a matrix of
security systems delivering high res video images.
But you could doubt that whether this product might be helpful to your security alarms and how
does it work.

actually making progress due for the new trend of color

consider adding corsage pins with pearl tips over a few from the
plants to mimic dew.

Wrap stems over floral tape with satin ribbon and tie
in a very simple shoe-string bow or within the bow of

to coordinate along with your chosen wedding colors.

would love to try the drainwig. been having clogged pipes lately!

We have a bathtub that never in the 3 years we’ve lived here has NOT been unclogged. I’ve tried everything but it just keeps clogging. I. Need. These. Things. Two girls with long hair are not good for this poor bathtub. Thanks!!!

A couple years ago my husband did his every 3 month shower drain clean up. My hair falls out a lot when I shower. He put on my kitchen cleaning gloves, grabbed my tweezers and went to work. After working on the drain for awhile he finally pulled a big slimy blob of hair out. I said eww and he pretended to sling it at me and it actually landed on my face. He busted up laughing and to this day I still believe he did it on purpose even though he claims he didn’t.

I have clogged many a shower and bathtub drain with my hair, but most recently it was a combination of my hair and the residual coconut flakes in the drain. You’re probably wondering why there would be coconut flakes in my drain, well I have super curly hair and I started using Lush’s Curly Wurly shampoo. It’s great for my hair, but not so great for my drain. The buildup of the coconut flakes from the Curly Wurly shampoo and the hair that makes it way down the drain recently caused my water to backup into my tub while I shower. I tried the baking soda and vinegar method, and thankfully that has worked!
I’ve also found that brushing your hair to get as much of the loose strands out prior to showering helps reduce the amount of hair in the shower. I also keep a wet brush in my shower to collect as much hair as I can when I rinse out my conditioner.

Hi Jill!

I hope it helps you finding bread for your son.

Our worst and maybe the most humorous was when my daughters’ commode got stuck. You could use it and flush but it would clog. If you let it sit, it would eventually go down when the TP and whatever else was there disintegrated. However, if someone went in the meantime, it would overflow. We tried everything to clear the clog before we called the plumber. He came out and tried to snake it. Nothing. Same problem. He took the commode off and snaked the lower pipes, same problem. He went up the bottom of the commode and could not get anything. Finally we told him to replace it. The one favor I asked was that when he was done could he please smash the toilet to find out what was clogging the commode. So here is my plumber in the driveway smashing a commode with a sledge hammer. Turns

We’ve had other issues along the way, eggs in out drain turning to concrete on Thanksgiving, long hair, lost contacts. Our plumber knows us quite well and tells me, “Cathy, it’s people like you that keep me in business!”

The absolute worst clog is the one that happens in the toilet when the icky, nasty, funky water overflows onto the floor along with most of the “clog”. It’s a race to get it plunged before it gets too full & you know it’s either going to splash on you or head over the edge!

Two teenagers with long hair who have to shampoo in the shower on a daily basis. Help us, Drain Wig!

We used to always have family at our house (and I have a HUGE family) for Christmas and/ or Thanksgiving. We only had 1 bathroom, and every single time it would get clogged! It usually ended up running into the back room where we did our laundry and it was all over the floor. It was horrible!!

I have very long hair, it is down past my waist and I seem to lose hair by the handful in the shower! Well I try to remember to grab it before it heads down the drain, but sometimes it is too fast! So by the time my hair goes down the drain and hubby shaves or showers after a haircut and all the long and short hairs combine, it doesn’t take long for the drain to start running slow again. I have a little pair of scissors that I use to cut the hair in the drain so that I can pull it out, otherwise it won’t budge! This little contraction would be great to put in my shower and make hubby happy!

Hi Jillee.

This is truly fantastic. I personally have one drain that is clogged literally every single month. Again and again. Do you have any idea on how to prevent this drain to get clogged all the time?

Cheers and thanks
Tobi

We JUUUUST dealt with a clog in our shower that I was SURE we threw almost all of these remedies listed in this blog here :) Finally.. I poured a whole bottle of liquid plum’r at it. I’d rather not have to do that again, even if I don’t win this–I may buy it–it seems like an invaluable tool!

We’ve had drain issues forever! My hair being the culprit 99% of the time. You would think I’d be bald by now…. Literally!

I frequently use the washing soda/vinegar solution to keep the gunk cleared out. However, I have to pull all my hair out of the drain with whatever I can find. Usually a clothes hanger or long surgical type tweezers! Ugkkkkk…..

Our drain stays clear for almost a month, then it’s time to retreat. See, I told you, I should be bald by now….
D

A Drainwig would be great! Clogged hair in the shower/tub is disgusting! I have been known to use a plunger to get the water moving.
Thanks for all your great giveaways, Jillee!

I have an old house = old pipes = plumbing issues :) Love this idea! Would love a chance to win this awesome product!

My son loved to put his toys in the toilet….I don’t know why kids like to do that. But we were always calling a plumber to get toys out of the drain.
One Saturday morning, the toilet was once again overflowing and we were having a birthday party for my daughter that afternoon with lots of kids coming. We hurried and called the plumber and paid his outrageous fee for a weekend call. Everyone was sure it was more toys. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a tampon clogging the drain. The culprit could only be….me!

When my son was about 1 he was super curious and flushed a toy down the toilet. I didn’t know for a little while but the toilet just would stay unclogged. One day #2 happened and OMG, worst mistake ever.. Let’s say it was like a brown swimming pool in my bathroom. And I live in a mobile home which makes it even worse!!

yay! So clever! Now I won’t have to use hubby’s long screwdriver to pull out nasty hair, or a clothes hanger bent in a hook-shaped end. So glad to know I’m not alone with this problem. Thank You! The drain cleaners listed are so helpful also :-))

I remember when I was young, being the youngest of 6 kids our 1 bathroom wasn’t enough. I recall my dad trying to unclog the bathtub drain and it filling up up with the worst grossest black gunk that stunk the whole house up!! Ewww and uckkk!!! Memory smells (especially) bad ones are so hard to forget! Lol

Thankfully our drains work pretty well normally but hubby just had to clean the sink drain in a bathroom and yep hair was the problem. He was so disgusted by the smell that I’m sure he would greatly appreciate one of those little DrainWigs! lol Years of soap, hair and God knows what sure will stink if it sits long enough. hehe ;)

Thanks for sharing these wonderful ways to unclog drains. The flower drain chain is great going to be sharing this product & placing an order.

My guest bathroom sink was taking progressively longer to drain each time I used it- a sure sign that it’s getting clogged ;) ! My grandparents were coming to stay for the weekend, so I took it as an opportunity to finally tackle the silly sink. The plug cannot be fully removed, making it extremely difficult to unclog using many regular methods! I decided to stick a hanger down the pipe to bring up any hair down there, but I got more than I expected! I got a whole bunch of slimy, icky, brown gook! (With some strands of hair.) Ew! But I kept at it, until I brought up hairball after hairball. Boy was I glad when I decided that was it and the water actually drained normally! A Drainwig sounds great! No more touching ooey gooey hair and gook anymore! (Even with gloves on, my hands were left smelling after that expedition!) Thanks for your great posts, Jillee!

We had our basement flood once. The drain outside the door filled with leaves (well, not the drain, but the drain cover) and rain water flowed under the door. Oddly, it followed a path in front of the washer/dryer, down the short hall, around the corner (completely avoiding the downstairs bedroom and kids’ playroom) and out to the garage. It was still awful, but not as disastrous as it could have been had it entered either of the main roomson that floor.

ahhh—makes me want to go take the shower apart in our drain right now. This looks like a great invention.

About six months ago I washed clothes and the water backed up into the bathtub. I went to the store and got a bottle of drain cleaner, it did not work. I finally went back and got three bottles, put one down each drain, let it set overnight and then flushed with boiling water. No more clog! These tips sound way better!

I worked at a group home. There’s always excitement. We had a client who flushed things down the toilet. Door stops, was clothes, paper towels you name he flushed it. He ended up needing a new toilet because he broke his. He said he flushed things he didn’t need anymore. Lol

Most disgusting clog was when I was a child and I saw my grandfather remove the toilet and then have to pry out a HUGE ball of poop…………. NASTY!

Nowadays my worst problem is my waist length thick hair clogging the tub even though I try my best to grab it all before it gets near the drain.

Years ago my daughter’s goldfish died and I secretly flushed it. Before I had time to sneak to the store and replace it,
our drain in the basement began to gush horrible things across the floor. My daughter stood at the edge of the mess I was mopping. Suddenly she screamed “My fish, my fish. It swam to the basement!” I looked and there was poor Goldie. You know I never did admit to flushing the fish and for many years after she always wondered how it “swam” to the basement.

I love my old house but the drains are a nightmare. My daughter and I both have longer hair and I keep a plunger in the shower so I can keep it at least flowing. I hate to put harsh chemicals down the drain but there are times I just have to…

We really need this little gadget..With me getting older and my hair falling out and my granddaughter with long beautiful hair, we deal with a drain clogged with hair all the time..Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these little DrainWig’s..

Two Stories.

1. One, when my son was little and in cloth diapers, I used to rinse them in the toilet. One time I was dipping it up and down and then flushing to clean it off. The diaper got away from me and went down the toilet. Miracle of miracles, it never clogged up!

2. Recently the bathroom my husband uses didn’t completely flush. He finally got it to work and then the toilet I use down the hall started to back up. I tried the soap and hot water, vinegar and baking soda, plunging, blah, blah, blah. We finally had to call a plumber. He opened the clean out that was outside and asked me to flush. A big wad of TP came out and that was all it took. My hubby uses a lot of paper!! We’ve been here almost 20 years and this is first time it happened. but it was awful. It took days to get plumber as we are in the boonies, so my husband had to use other people’s toilets. My toilet started working, so I used that. Whew!

When I was a little girl, my parents built a new house with bathrooms and running water, we were used to having family reunions at our place with 60-70 people during the day for meals and around 25-30 staying overnight. The basement drain backed up so there was 3 inches of sewage on the floor. Something had not been put in right during building, what a mess

I have really long hair to my low back (thanks to my husband’s request) and due to having hypothyroidism it’s always falling out! I have to clean the drain everytime I take a shower. So this device would be awesome!

The worst drain clog I’ve ever experienced was when I worked at Walmart. Someone or a group of someone’s, smeared the woman’s restroom with excrement and stuffed the toilets with feminine hygiene pads. They left water running in all the sinks and reoetatively flushed the yucky clogged toilets. It was a lake of excrement in the ladies room. And it just happened to be my day to clean it. I took another girl with me and we both threw up before we got very far. It took abot 15 of is to clean up that mess. I’ve had my son throw up in my hair and it wasn’t as bad as that! I hope to never experience anything g like that again!!

I flushed my toilet before leaving the house one day. I came back after running errands only to find out water kept running because of a clog. It flooded into my living room and what a mess! I guess the moral of the story is to always look behind you after using the toilet. I always do now! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us good tips!

Mary, CA

I used to work in the 3’s and 4’s room of an early education center. The kids were still all learning about going potty and flushing and some of them got “backed-up” themselves. It wasn’t uncommon to have the toilets flood due to clogged pipes. The water would be all over the floor, along with whatever else was in the toilet. I was often the one with the plunger, trying to get the toilets to flush again. Can’t say that I miss that aspect of the job. :)

We lived in and managed motel for years, this is the cleanest story I can tell out of several:
One morning the maid said a toilet was clogged. So the maintained man plunged it.
Still clogged he removed it to the grass area and rolled it over and over while slushing it with a hose and water pressure it a SET of false teeth fell out! The guest never came back or asked for them.

A few years ago I was in the middle of prep for a colonoscopy. Sometime in those couple of days I misplaced my cell phone. A week or two later, the toilet in our extra bath started working really strange, and the finally clogged where we could NOT unclog it. Called the plumber, they pulled the toilet to find my cell phone….stuck….and so stuck that we had to replace the toilet. It was a sad day that my phone cause so much trouble. Moral to the story – keep your phone out of your back pocket and truly…out of the bathroom!

I can’t tell you how much money your tips have saved me in the past, Jillee. Wish I had it all in hand. LOL Drains are the biggie around here since my son and his family are living with us now. His hair is very long and with 6 people using the same shower I am in constant fear of a drain back-up. I have weathered many back-ups, but at my age, I would prefer not to have to deal with any more. I seriously need this give away!!

We have the hair in the tub drain problem too. But the worst was in the kitchen sink due to our old pipes and the garbage disposal. Over time the pipes have corroded and things don’t go down like they should. It’s so bad we have had to dishes in the bathtub. Our plumber has said he never allows his wife to have a a garbage disposal, even in a house with new pipes.

i have hairy dogs that like to roll in nasty things. need i say more? :)

We had just moved into a new house SO of course we hosted Thanksgiving dinner. I was so excited and everyone was busy.
My son volunteered to peel potatoes and it was great.
Just before we started to eat I decided to clear the sink, so I ran the water and turned the garbage disposal on. Then it happened everything started coming up out of the disposal. It looked muddy and gooey yuck (and just before dinner) I noticed the Potatoe peelings coming up and yep it was clogged.
The only thing I had was a plunger. IT Took US Half An Hour AND A LOT Of Plunging TO GET It cleared.
But dinner was good!.

Clogged showers are a regular occurrence as my daughter and I have long hair. I dread the periodic maintenance when the back up starts. The traps we’ve used in the past never seemed to work and became pretty gross, too, after a bit.
These sound amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

Three years ago, we moved to our new house (It was built 5 years prior). My grand daughter (age 6) had a BM and flushed. She started yelling about the toilet and I rushed in there just in time before it over flowed. After a while the water level went down and I saw the LARGEST BM EVER. I looked at her then the BM and I couldn’t believe that could ever come out of her!! I thought about it for a moment and got a knife and CHOPPED UP HER BM then flushed it down. Washed the knife and my hands and stored the knife in the bottom drawer in the bathroom. I also informed Jersi that from now on when she has a BM not to flush, but get G-MA and I will deal with it. No more problems………….

Hmmmmm…..like all amazing ideas, simple!! And I think one could make a pretty reasonable facsimile with dollar store flowers, chain from the hardware store and zap straps (cable ties) for the little “arms”. I bet you could make them for pennies, which could be a real saving for a household full of women!!

I have fine but very thick,dark hair that falls out at a rate that would make one think I am going bald. I have lived a life of clogged drains due to this. But, the worst one was when one of my children ,toddler age, decided it would be fun to flush their toothbrush….. more than once. After having to pull the toilet up, retrieve said object, and replace the ring about three times, the toothbrushing became a highly supervised activity for many years.

Lately my kitchen drain is a problem…… so I’m the culprit… I know its greasy stuff, from washing pans after frying bacon. I’ve tried soda/vinegar, lots of hot water, it still doesn’t work well, so will try your suggestions.

When my niece was about 3, she put an entire package of baby wipes in my toilet one by one on Thanksgiving day. Then she flushed several times because they wouldn’t go down. Flooded the bathroom and the hallway, and I had to dig out the wipes by hand after I finished mopping.

I can’t remember any really bad clogs, but I have super thick, super long hair that goes all the way down to my hips. Needless to say, I could really use something to catch all that thick long hair.

The worst one I can think of was the toilet when we first moved in. Fortunately nothing nasty was in it but I was home alone and was freaking out since nothing was unpacked and I didn’t even know “the lay of the land” as far as shut offs. Panic!!

I probably have the most EXPENSIVE drain clog story around!!! 30 years ago our bathtub stopped up. Not being able to fix it ourselves, I of course called a plumber. I was so grateful when he dislodged not only hair but the top of a shampoo bottle (which my husband neglected to tell me he had dropped.) I was holding my daughter at the kitchen window. As we watched the plumber drive away, water started pouring down through the kitchen ceiling. THE PLUMBER HAD PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE PIPE, thus causing the plumbing to be torn up and fixed, but also the kitchen ceiling repaired and painted!!!

Hair clogged shower and water flooded floor and came through ceiling! Uugh!

We have 3 women with long hair in our house. We deal with clogs all the time. The worst was when the basement backed up and flooded every ng from the laundry to the cat box. Blech!

I was having Christmas at my house for about 40 people. found out the hard way you do not put celery through a garbage disposal. I had water backing up in my kitchen sink and bath tub and people coming within a half hour. We had to take an elbow apart in the basement to clear it. Christmas was saved.

There were a couples years where, right on Christmas morning, a tree root would finally push through a pipe in our yard enough to back up ours AND our neighbor’s kitchen sinks with the awful, disgusting waste water. It became a dreaded holiday tradition.

I have very long hair, and much to my husband’s chagrine, it ends up everywhere! The drainwig would be a very happy alternative to having to dig my hair out of the drain every couple of weeks.

My husband turned on the shower to get in, then got distracted helping our two year old and left the bathroom for about 10 minutes. He didn’t know there was a clog and the whole bathroom and part of our bedroom was flooded by the time he went back in.

I have long hair and every few months I have to remove that awful, stinky, gross mess of hair out of the drain….ugh! I have never heard of this product but it sounds fantastic!!

With 6 girls in the house we needless to say have lots of drains with hair in them. These tips are great for a slow drain, but what about one that has standing water? Would that still work? Anyway, we would definitely benefit from DrainWigs. Can you also use them in a bathroom sink that has a drain cover?

Since I have really long hair, we deal with this problem all the time. Thanks for the helpful hints.

My story is the cotton diaper down the drain in the good ole “70s”. Talk about take your breath away in more ways than one. All young people. Say a prayer each day as you throw the disposable diaper in the trash. Long, Blond, Hair, it could only my hair these days in the shower. I could really use these little jems for one less “yucky moment in my day. M.in Kansas

Wow, now those are some stories! I only have the regular boring stories like taking a shower in the morning only to find that same water standing in the tub when I got home at the end of the day. See, I told you it was boring!

Actually dealing with this issue right now. With 5 people in the household the shower gets a good workout. Most of the time it’s twice a day showers. The tub drain has been clogging up so badly that it takes 30 min for it to drain after a shower. I had an old dental instrument I try to use to grab hair out of the drain but if course it doesn’t reach far enough down. The other day the little ones (6 and 4) took showers right after each other. By the time they were done water was over the tub and all over the floor of course they thought it was “fun” Would love to try out this new product.

I love the idea of the DrainWig! I couldn’t believe what I pulled out of my drain one time by trying to reach an old toothbrush down there to catch it and pull it out. It was unbelievable! I didn’t even know they made something like this–I can’t wait to tell my friends and family about this! Thanks for sharing this and offering the giveaway!!

OMG, OGT!! I just read and couple dozen of these plumbing tales – any personal tale of mine could never compete. I am just grateful that you introduced me to the drain wig ,can’t wait to find some online and start using ASAP!

WOW, I need this miracle product like people need air.
My home is made up of females with long hair.
This could even save the marriage, my poor husband has to end up cleaning the drains.
Thank you,
Inez

Love reading your posts, thanks for the great tips.
I may win this contest by sheer numbers of humans (and animals) with hair!

My husband and I am a house parent for 9 at risk middle school boys, plus one long haired behavioral specialist and two dogs. Our plumbing works overtime.

Clogs of all sorts are a common and never pretty. One time a boy had a midnight episode and didn’t wake up enough to report it. Just picture the next morning mayhem when all 9 needed to use that bathroom! That drain gadget would save us time and time again in the sinks and showers.

I have 3 daughters with waist length hair. Any more info needed?

Thanks

Will be buying these, but would be nice to win some too!

This happened just a week at my sister’s house. My niece’s graduation open house was on a Saturday. We were using the half bath off her garage that she rarely used since buying the house a couple years ago. An hour or so in, someone noticed water on the floor and a check of pipes in the basement, water there too. My Mr Fix-it husband got the task of trying to unclog her sewer pipe. But no avail. After a call to a plumber, there was still no solution. Finally found out her septic tank was full.

When my son was 4 years old, we were staying at a hotel when he used too much toilet paper to clean himself up after going #2. This was unbeknownst to us since the toilet flushed fine for him. However, I was the lucky person to use the bathroom after him and when I flushed the toilet the water did not stop coming and it came fast. The water overfilled the bowl quickly and flooded the bathroom and it was seeping out into the main living room of our suite. We had to completely change rooms but my son was completely mortified and somehow developed a fear of hotels (not toilets, thank goodness) for the next few years after that incident.

wow, I would love to win one of the little flower hanging-down to the drain to help catching the hair. It will be the biggest friend for me, because I have long hair all my life, I have problem now with my falling hair as I am getting older. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely gadget.

We used rent the upper flat of a house. When my older daughter was a toddler, I went into the bathroom just in time to see a huge, over-sized pair of plastic sunglasses get flushed down the toilet! The landlord was NOT happy!

My youngest was playing in her sink and clogged it up. She sat there and watched the water flooding on to the countertop, and spilling on to the floor, and running in to her bedroom. Luckily her sister ran in and turned the water off. It was quite a mess.

would love to try the drainwig. been having clogged pipes lately!

We have a bathtub that never in the 3 years we’ve lived here has NOT been unclogged. I’ve tried everything but it just keeps clogging. I. Need. These. Things. Two girls with long hair are not good for this poor bathtub. Thanks!!!

A couple years ago my husband did his every 3 month shower drain clean up. My hair falls out a lot when I shower. He put on my kitchen cleaning gloves, grabbed my tweezers and went to work. After working on the drain for awhile he finally pulled a big slimy blob of hair out. I said eww and he pretended to sling it at me and it actually landed on my face. He busted up laughing and to this day I still believe he did it on purpose even though he claims he didn’t.

I have clogged many a shower and bathtub drain with my hair, but most recently it was a combination of my hair and the residual coconut flakes in the drain. You’re probably wondering why there would be coconut flakes in my drain, well I have super curly hair and I started using Lush’s Curly Wurly shampoo. It’s great for my hair, but not so great for my drain. The buildup of the coconut flakes from the Curly Wurly shampoo and the hair that makes it way down the drain recently caused my water to backup into my tub while I shower. I tried the baking soda and vinegar method, and thankfully that has worked!
I’ve also found that brushing your hair to get as much of the loose strands out prior to showering helps reduce the amount of hair in the shower. I also keep a wet brush in my shower to collect as much hair as I can when I rinse out my conditioner.

Our worst and maybe the most humorous was when my daughters’ commode got stuck. You could use it and flush but it would clog. If you let it sit, it would eventually go down when the TP and whatever else was there disintegrated. However, if someone went in the meantime, it would overflow. We tried everything to clear the clog before we called the plumber. He came out and tried to snake it. Nothing. Same problem. He took the commode off and snaked the lower pipes, same problem. He went up the bottom of the commode and could not get anything. Finally we told him to replace it. The one favor I asked was that when he was done could he please smash the toilet to find out what was clogging the commode. So here is my plumber in the driveway smashing a commode with a sledge hammer. Turns

We’ve had other issues along the way, eggs in out drain turning to concrete on Thanksgiving, long hair, lost contacts. Our plumber knows us quite well and tells me, “Cathy, it’s people like you that keep me in business!”

The absolute worst clog is the one that happens in the toilet when the icky, nasty, funky water overflows onto the floor along with most of the “clog”. It’s a race to get it plunged before it gets too full & you know it’s either going to splash on you or head over the edge!

Two teenagers with long hair who have to shampoo in the shower on a daily basis. Help us, Drain Wig!

We used to always have family at our house (and I have a HUGE family) for Christmas and/ or Thanksgiving. We only had 1 bathroom, and every single time it would get clogged! It usually ended up running into the back room where we did our laundry and it was all over the floor. It was horrible!!

I have very long hair, it is down past my waist and I seem to lose hair by the handful in the shower! Well I try to remember to grab it before it heads down the drain, but sometimes it is too fast! So by the time my hair goes down the drain and hubby shaves or showers after a haircut and all the long and short hairs combine, it doesn’t take long for the drain to start running slow again. I have a little pair of scissors that I use to cut the hair in the drain so that I can pull it out, otherwise it won’t budge! This little contraction would be great to put in my shower and make hubby happy!

Hi Jillee.

This is truly fantastic. I personally have one drain that is clogged literally every single month. Again and again. Do you have any idea on how to prevent this drain to get clogged all the time?

Cheers and thanks
Tobi

We JUUUUST dealt with a clog in our shower that I was SURE we threw almost all of these remedies listed in this blog here :) Finally.. I poured a whole bottle of liquid plum’r at it. I’d rather not have to do that again, even if I don’t win this–I may buy it–it seems like an invaluable tool!

We’ve had drain issues forever! My hair being the culprit 99% of the time. You would think I’d be bald by now…. Literally!

I frequently use the washing soda/vinegar solution to keep the gunk cleared out. However, I have to pull all my hair out of the drain with whatever I can find. Usually a clothes hanger or long surgical type tweezers! Ugkkkkk…..

Our drain stays clear for almost a month, then it’s time to retreat. See, I told you, I should be bald by now….
D

A Drainwig would be great! Clogged hair in the shower/tub is disgusting! I have been known to use a plunger to get the water moving.
Thanks for all your great giveaways, Jillee!

I have an old house = old pipes = plumbing issues :) Love this idea! Would love a chance to win this awesome product!

My son loved to put his toys in the toilet….I don’t know why kids like to do that. But we were always calling a plumber to get toys out of the drain.
One Saturday morning, the toilet was once again overflowing and we were having a birthday party for my daughter that afternoon with lots of kids coming. We hurried and called the plumber and paid his outrageous fee for a weekend call. Everyone was sure it was more toys. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a tampon clogging the drain. The culprit could only be….me!

When my son was about 1 he was super curious and flushed a toy down the toilet. I didn’t know for a little while but the toilet just would stay unclogged. One day #2 happened and OMG, worst mistake ever.. Let’s say it was like a brown swimming pool in my bathroom. And I live in a mobile home which makes it even worse!!

yay! So clever! Now I won’t have to use hubby’s long screwdriver to pull out nasty hair, or a clothes hanger bent in a hook-shaped end. So glad to know I’m not alone with this problem. Thank You! The drain cleaners listed are so helpful also :-))

I remember when I was young, being the youngest of 6 kids our 1 bathroom wasn’t enough. I recall my dad trying to unclog the bathtub drain and it filling up up with the worst grossest black gunk that stunk the whole house up!! Ewww and uckkk!!! Memory smells (especially) bad ones are so hard to forget! Lol

Thankfully our drains work pretty well normally but hubby just had to clean the sink drain in a bathroom and yep hair was the problem. He was so disgusted by the smell that I’m sure he would greatly appreciate one of those little DrainWigs! lol Years of soap, hair and God knows what sure will stink if it sits long enough. hehe ;)

Thanks for sharing these wonderful ways to unclog drains. The flower drain chain is great going to be sharing this product & placing an order.

My guest bathroom sink was taking progressively longer to drain each time I used it- a sure sign that it’s getting clogged ;) ! My grandparents were coming to stay for the weekend, so I took it as an opportunity to finally tackle the silly sink. The plug cannot be fully removed, making it extremely difficult to unclog using many regular methods! I decided to stick a hanger down the pipe to bring up any hair down there, but I got more than I expected! I got a whole bunch of slimy, icky, brown gook! (With some strands of hair.) Ew! But I kept at it, until I brought up hairball after hairball. Boy was I glad when I decided that was it and the water actually drained normally! A Drainwig sounds great! No more touching ooey gooey hair and gook anymore! (Even with gloves on, my hands were left smelling after that expedition!) Thanks for your great posts, Jillee!

We had our basement flood once. The drain outside the door filled with leaves (well, not the drain, but the drain cover) and rain water flowed under the door. Oddly, it followed a path in front of the washer/dryer, down the short hall, around the corner (completely avoiding the downstairs bedroom and kids’ playroom) and out to the garage. It was still awful, but not as disastrous as it could have been had it entered either of the main roomson that floor.

ahhh—makes me want to go take the shower apart in our drain right now. This looks like a great invention.

About six months ago I washed clothes and the water backed up into the bathtub. I went to the store and got a bottle of drain cleaner, it did not work. I finally went back and got three bottles, put one down each drain, let it set overnight and then flushed with boiling water. No more clog! These tips sound way better!

I worked at a group home. There’s always excitement. We had a client who flushed things down the toilet. Door stops, was clothes, paper towels you name he flushed it. He ended up needing a new toilet because he broke his. He said he flushed things he didn’t need anymore. Lol

Most disgusting clog was when I was a child and I saw my grandfather remove the toilet and then have to pry out a HUGE ball of poop…………. NASTY!

Nowadays my worst problem is my waist length thick hair clogging the tub even though I try my best to grab it all before it gets near the drain.

Years ago my daughter’s goldfish died and I secretly flushed it. Before I had time to sneak to the store and replace it,
our drain in the basement began to gush horrible things across the floor. My daughter stood at the edge of the mess I was mopping. Suddenly she screamed “My fish, my fish. It swam to the basement!” I looked and there was poor Goldie. You know I never did admit to flushing the fish and for many years after she always wondered how it “swam” to the basement.

I love my old house but the drains are a nightmare. My daughter and I both have longer hair and I keep a plunger in the shower so I can keep it at least flowing. I hate to put harsh chemicals down the drain but there are times I just have to…

We really need this little gadget..With me getting older and my hair falling out and my granddaughter with long beautiful hair, we deal with a drain clogged with hair all the time..Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these little DrainWig’s..

Two Stories.

1. One, when my son was little and in cloth diapers, I used to rinse them in the toilet. One time I was dipping it up and down and then flushing to clean it off. The diaper got away from me and went down the toilet. Miracle of miracles, it never clogged up!

2. Recently the bathroom my husband uses didn’t completely flush. He finally got it to work and then the toilet I use down the hall started to back up. I tried the soap and hot water, vinegar and baking soda, plunging, blah, blah, blah. We finally had to call a plumber. He opened the clean out that was outside and asked me to flush. A big wad of TP came out and that was all it took. My hubby uses a lot of paper!! We’ve been here almost 20 years and this is first time it happened. but it was awful. It took days to get plumber as we are in the boonies, so my husband had to use other people’s toilets. My toilet started working, so I used that. Whew!

When I was a little girl, my parents built a new house with bathrooms and running water, we were used to having family reunions at our place with 60-70 people during the day for meals and around 25-30 staying overnight. The basement drain backed up so there was 3 inches of sewage on the floor. Something had not been put in right during building, what a mess

I have really long hair to my low back (thanks to my husband’s request) and due to having hypothyroidism it’s always falling out! I have to clean the drain everytime I take a shower. So this device would be awesome!

The worst drain clog I’ve ever experienced was when I worked at Walmart. Someone or a group of someone’s, smeared the woman’s restroom with excrement and stuffed the toilets with feminine hygiene pads. They left water running in all the sinks and reoetatively flushed the yucky clogged toilets. It was a lake of excrement in the ladies room. And it just happened to be my day to clean it. I took another girl with me and we both threw up before we got very far. It took abot 15 of is to clean up that mess. I’ve had my son throw up in my hair and it wasn’t as bad as that! I hope to never experience anything g like that again!!

I flushed my toilet before leaving the house one day. I came back after running errands only to find out water kept running because of a clog. It flooded into my living room and what a mess! I guess the moral of the story is to always look behind you after using the toilet. I always do now! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us good tips!

Mary, CA

I used to work in the 3’s and 4’s room of an early education center. The kids were still all learning about going potty and flushing and some of them got “backed-up” themselves. It wasn’t uncommon to have the toilets flood due to clogged pipes. The water would be all over the floor, along with whatever else was in the toilet. I was often the one with the plunger, trying to get the toilets to flush again. Can’t say that I miss that aspect of the job. :)

We lived in and managed motel for years, this is the cleanest story I can tell out of several:
One morning the maid said a toilet was clogged. So the maintained man plunged it.
Still clogged he removed it to the grass area and rolled it over and over while slushing it with a hose and water pressure it a SET of false teeth fell out! The guest never came back or asked for them.

A few years ago I was in the middle of prep for a colonoscopy. Sometime in those couple of days I misplaced my cell phone. A week or two later, the toilet in our extra bath started working really strange, and the finally clogged where we could NOT unclog it. Called the plumber, they pulled the toilet to find my cell phone….stuck….and so stuck that we had to replace the toilet. It was a sad day that my phone cause so much trouble. Moral to the story – keep your phone out of your back pocket and truly…out of the bathroom!

I can’t tell you how much money your tips have saved me in the past, Jillee. Wish I had it all in hand. LOL Drains are the biggie around here since my son and his family are living with us now. His hair is very long and with 6 people using the same shower I am in constant fear of a drain back-up. I have weathered many back-ups, but at my age, I would prefer not to have to deal with any more. I seriously need this give away!!

We have the hair in the tub drain problem too. But the worst was in the kitchen sink due to our old pipes and the garbage disposal. Over time the pipes have corroded and things don’t go down like they should. It’s so bad we have had to dishes in the bathtub. Our plumber has said he never allows his wife to have a a garbage disposal, even in a house with new pipes.

i have hairy dogs that like to roll in nasty things. need i say more? :)

We had just moved into a new house SO of course we hosted Thanksgiving dinner. I was so excited and everyone was busy.
My son volunteered to peel potatoes and it was great.
Just before we started to eat I decided to clear the sink, so I ran the water and turned the garbage disposal on. Then it happened everything started coming up out of the disposal. It looked muddy and gooey yuck (and just before dinner) I noticed the Potatoe peelings coming up and yep it was clogged.
The only thing I had was a plunger. IT Took US Half An Hour AND A LOT Of Plunging TO GET It cleared.
But dinner was good!.

Clogged showers are a regular occurrence as my daughter and I have long hair. I dread the periodic maintenance when the back up starts. The traps we’ve used in the past never seemed to work and became pretty gross, too, after a bit.
These sound amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

Three years ago, we moved to our new house (It was built 5 years prior). My grand daughter (age 6) had a BM and flushed. She started yelling about the toilet and I rushed in there just in time before it over flowed. After a while the water level went down and I saw the LARGEST BM EVER. I looked at her then the BM and I couldn’t believe that could ever come out of her!! I thought about it for a moment and got a knife and CHOPPED UP HER BM then flushed it down. Washed the knife and my hands and stored the knife in the bottom drawer in the bathroom. I also informed Jersi that from now on when she has a BM not to flush, but get G-MA and I will deal with it. No more problems………….

Hmmmmm…..like all amazing ideas, simple!! And I think one could make a pretty reasonable facsimile with dollar store flowers, chain from the hardware store and zap straps (cable ties) for the little “arms”. I bet you could make them for pennies, which could be a real saving for a household full of women!!

I have fine but very thick,dark hair that falls out at a rate that would make one think I am going bald. I have lived a life of clogged drains due to this. But, the worst one was when one of my children ,toddler age, decided it would be fun to flush their toothbrush….. more than once. After having to pull the toilet up, retrieve said object, and replace the ring about three times, the toothbrushing became a highly supervised activity for many years.

Lately my kitchen drain is a problem…… so I’m the culprit… I know its greasy stuff, from washing pans after frying bacon. I’ve tried soda/vinegar, lots of hot water, it still doesn’t work well, so will try your suggestions.

When my niece was about 3, she put an entire package of baby wipes in my toilet one by one on Thanksgiving day. Then she flushed several times because they wouldn’t go down. Flooded the bathroom and the hallway, and I had to dig out the wipes by hand after I finished mopping.

I can’t remember any really bad clogs, but I have super thick, super long hair that goes all the way down to my hips. Needless to say, I could really use something to catch all that thick long hair.

The worst one I can think of was the toilet when we first moved in. Fortunately nothing nasty was in it but I was home alone and was freaking out since nothing was unpacked and I didn’t even know “the lay of the land” as far as shut offs. Panic!!

I probably have the most EXPENSIVE drain clog story around!!! 30 years ago our bathtub stopped up. Not being able to fix it ourselves, I of course called a plumber. I was so grateful when he dislodged not only hair but the top of a shampoo bottle (which my husband neglected to tell me he had dropped.) I was holding my daughter at the kitchen window. As we watched the plumber drive away, water started pouring down through the kitchen ceiling. THE PLUMBER HAD PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE PIPE, thus causing the plumbing to be torn up and fixed, but also the kitchen ceiling repaired and painted!!!

Hair clogged shower and water flooded floor and came through ceiling! Uugh!

We have 3 women with long hair in our house. We deal with clogs all the time. The worst was when the basement backed up and flooded every ng from the laundry to the cat box. Blech!

I was having Christmas at my house for about 40 people. found out the hard way you do not put celery through a garbage disposal. I had water backing up in my kitchen sink and bath tub and people coming within a half hour. We had to take an elbow apart in the basement to clear it. Christmas was saved.

There were a couples years where, right on Christmas morning, a tree root would finally push through a pipe in our yard enough to back up ours AND our neighbor’s kitchen sinks with the awful, disgusting waste water. It became a dreaded holiday tradition.

I have very long hair, and much to my husband’s chagrine, it ends up everywhere! The drainwig would be a very happy alternative to having to dig my hair out of the drain every couple of weeks.

My husband turned on the shower to get in, then got distracted helping our two year old and left the bathroom for about 10 minutes. He didn’t know there was a clog and the whole bathroom and part of our bedroom was flooded by the time he went back in.

I have long hair and every few months I have to remove that awful, stinky, gross mess of hair out of the drain….ugh! I have never heard of this product but it sounds fantastic!!

With 6 girls in the house we needless to say have lots of drains with hair in them. These tips are great for a slow drain, but what about one that has standing water? Would that still work? Anyway, we would definitely benefit from DrainWigs. Can you also use them in a bathroom sink that has a drain cover?

Since I have really long hair, we deal with this problem all the time. Thanks for the helpful hints.

My story is the cotton diaper down the drain in the good ole “70s”. Talk about take your breath away in more ways than one. All young people. Say a prayer each day as you throw the disposable diaper in the trash. Long, Blond, Hair, it could only my hair these days in the shower. I could really use these little jems for one less “yucky moment in my day. M.in Kansas

Wow, now those are some stories! I only have the regular boring stories like taking a shower in the morning only to find that same water standing in the tub when I got home at the end of the day. See, I told you it was boring!

Actually dealing with this issue right now. With 5 people in the household the shower gets a good workout. Most of the time it’s twice a day showers. The tub drain has been clogging up so badly that it takes 30 min for it to drain after a shower. I had an old dental instrument I try to use to grab hair out of the drain but if course it doesn’t reach far enough down. The other day the little ones (6 and 4) took showers right after each other. By the time they were done water was over the tub and all over the floor of course they thought it was “fun” Would love to try out this new product.

I love the idea of the DrainWig! I couldn’t believe what I pulled out of my drain one time by trying to reach an old toothbrush down there to catch it and pull it out. It was unbelievable! I didn’t even know they made something like this–I can’t wait to tell my friends and family about this! Thanks for sharing this and offering the giveaway!!

OMG, OGT!! I just read and couple dozen of these plumbing tales – any personal tale of mine could never compete. I am just grateful that you introduced me to the drain wig ,can’t wait to find some online and start using ASAP!

WOW, I need this miracle product like people need air.
My home is made up of females with long hair.
This could even save the marriage, my poor husband has to end up cleaning the drains.
Thank you,
Inez

Love reading your posts, thanks for the great tips.
I may win this contest by sheer numbers of humans (and animals) with hair!

My husband and I am a house parent for 9 at risk middle school boys, plus one long haired behavioral specialist and two dogs. Our plumbing works overtime.

Clogs of all sorts are a common and never pretty. One time a boy had a midnight episode and didn’t wake up enough to report it. Just picture the next morning mayhem when all 9 needed to use that bathroom! That drain gadget would save us time and time again in the sinks and showers.

I have 3 daughters with waist length hair. Any more info needed?

Thanks

Will be buying these, but would be nice to win some too!

This happened just a week at my sister’s house. My niece’s graduation open house was on a Saturday. We were using the half bath off her garage that she rarely used since buying the house a couple years ago. An hour or so in, someone noticed water on the floor and a check of pipes in the basement, water there too. My Mr Fix-it husband got the task of trying to unclog her sewer pipe. But no avail. After a call to a plumber, there was still no solution. Finally found out her septic tank was full.

When my son was 4 years old, we were staying at a hotel when he used too much toilet paper to clean himself up after going #2. This was unbeknownst to us since the toilet flushed fine for him. However, I was the lucky person to use the bathroom after him and when I flushed the toilet the water did not stop coming and it came fast. The water overfilled the bowl quickly and flooded the bathroom and it was seeping out into the main living room of our suite. We had to completely change rooms but my son was completely mortified and somehow developed a fear of hotels (not toilets, thank goodness) for the next few years after that incident.

wow, I would love to win one of the little flower hanging-down to the drain to help catching the hair. It will be the biggest friend for me, because I have long hair all my life, I have problem now with my falling hair as I am getting older. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely gadget.

We used rent the upper flat of a house. When my older daughter was a toddler, I went into the bathroom just in time to see a huge, over-sized pair of plastic sunglasses get flushed down the toilet! The landlord was NOT happy!

My youngest was playing in her sink and clogged it up. She sat there and watched the water flooding on to the countertop, and spilling on to the floor, and running in to her bedroom. Luckily her sister ran in and turned the water off. It was quite a mess.
