The response from people facing similar problems were simply overwhelming and many pledged their support of the product. With over $200K in pledges raised, Tub Shroom became an instant success.

  Tub Shroom Review: Price
  The price of the Tub Shroom is quite low considering the value that you get by buying this product. According to Home Advisor the typical cost of snaking your drain pipe costs between $135-$400. Snaking your drainpipe is typically a low labor job and cost you upwards of $900 for more serious blockages.
  It seems evident to me that EVERYONE should have a Tub Shroom for the insurance that your drains won't be clogged easily. The lifespan of Tub Shrooms are indefinite and will pay for itself in the long run.
  The cost a Tub Shroom is under $15. Save time, money and the grossness that comes with clogged drains for good.
  Comparison To Other Drain Protectors On The Market
  To set things straight the Tub Shroom is and will always be the original 'Revolutionary Drain Protector'. There are some competitors on the market offering similar design & features, but these are usually made in a slapstick manner to compete with the Tub Shroom. There are a ton of counterfeits found on marketplaces like amazon and wish, but to get the best quality ensure that it is a Tub Shroom. Below are some competitors that are innovating the game by bringing something unique to the table.
  Top Selling Competitor for Tub Shroom
  – Rust-proof stainless-steel design
  – Elliptical holes for catching hair more effectively
  While Lekeye has a sleek design that integrates it nicely with most modern washrooms, it is missing some of the core features that are found in the Tub Shroom. The elliptical holes, while effective to a certain degree at catching hair, does not capture the hair fully as expected. A good percentage of the hair will escape and end up in your drains. The Tub Shroom features a design meant to completely and efficiently capture hair every time.
  – Catches hair without blocking the flow of water
  – Tall design to fit flat and pop-up drains
  – Weighted to keep it place
  – Features a stainless-steel and silicone design
  The OXO is made to be used on pop-up drains thanks to its tall design. However, when discussing generic flat drains, the Tub Shroom beats it in functionality in almost every way. Firstly, the Tub Shroom is more low profile and does not stick out like a sore thumb. Secondly, when using the OXO you will quickly notice that hair and other debris will start collecting on the outside rim of the OXO. With the Tub Shroom, hair and debris will get trapped within the shroom itself.
  – Minimalistic design to trap hair
  – Made with flexible, high-quality plastic
  – Features 4 suction cups at the back
  The cost of the Bealife is exceptionally better than the rest of the products listed. It does have some serious shortfalls that need to need to be addressed. First and foremost, like most of the drain protectors listed, the Bealife fails to capture the hair once it falls through its porous outer structure. The most damning of its design is that its out edge sits a bit too high to completely drain out all the water from the tub or shower. What this means is that debris and hair will also get stuck on the outer rim of the Bealife, making it both unsightly (because of the exposed hair) and ineffective compared to the Tub Shroom.
  – Fits most shower drains without obstructing water flow
  – Allows you to remove hair without ever touching it
  – Replace every 2-4 months
  Evriholder is a very cool product and is one of the more original designed drain protection products on the market. It does have some downside that you should be aware of. This product will passively let hair and other particulates go into your drains, all the while playing catch up on the other end, nabbing as much hair as it can within the pipe. It is best to catch the hair before it enters the pipe like the Tub Shroom. Another fallback is that you need to replace it every 2-4 months making is quite expensive in the long run. The reason of this is that the hair will get tangled within the chain making it a hassle to pull the hair out, to reuse the Evriholder. Another issue is that smaller particulates and dirt will tend to not adhere to chain used in the Evriholder.
  Luckily, each pack contains about 4 Evriholders, meaning that you can protect 1 drain per year with a purchase of the Evriholder.
  – Flexible rubber that is extremely durable.
  – Catches hair thanks to its design
  – Fits drain sizes up to 5.12 x 5.12 inches
  On first inspection I really like the rugged and very useful design of this drain protector. It will indeed catch hair almost every time, however the fall back is that hair caught is only captured superficially, meaning that you will have to manually pull out the hairs out of the nooks and crannies of the of the Gotega drain protector almost daily with every use. Failure to do so will lead to a build up hair around the protector and leads to an unsightly build up hair.
  The Tub Shroom holds hair within the base of the shroom, meaning that the hair is not exposed and can be cleaned up on a less regular basis.
  In conclusion the Tub Shroom works and is indeed revolutionary in its design. In fact, I believe that everyone should have a Tub Shroom to prevent costly plumbing damages. Overtime the hair and debris in your tub will emulsify within the pipe, leading to a gross and costly plumbing bill.
  Compared to other 'drain protectors' online, Tub Shrooms takes the cake as the most useful and the best of the bunch. I think the primary reason why I am saying Tub Shroom takes the cake is that the hair collects in the base of the tub shroom. This has a bunch of implications, including hair being out of sight to the user & hair will get trapped in the base and will not go down the septic pipe. For these two reasons alone Tub shrooms is the best tool for protecting your drain.
