Actually works for tall bathtub drain with minor modification!
We have been struggling to find a hair catcher for our bathtub drain for a long time! Finally came across this and thought we might as well give it a try as it was pretty cheap and had good reviews. It was delivered today and I went to install it and got a little disappointed as it didn't fit right away as I thought it was taller so it would work with our drain. After messing with it a little and looking through other people's review pictures, I almost was ready to return it when I saw how shallow everyone else's drains were, but I thought maybe I should try cutting out the innermost dots to form a circle so I could stretch it around the circle on our drain and maybe it would work. I used my Cricut knife blade to cut from one dot to the next and ended up with a more hexagonal shape than a circle. I stretched the new hole around the top of our drain and now it works like a charm! Super excited that I could modify it to work for our needs. I was worried that our drain would still be too tall as it doesnt sit perfectly flush with the bottom of our tub, but when I tested it with the water turned on, it seemed to work really well! I will have to try it out tomorrow when I take a shower and see how well it catches hair but it works great for draining water through and now sits nicer on our tub!

We have been using this drain cover for a few weeks now and it works amazingly! It is easy to clean and works great even in our taller bathtub. I have long hair and have had to clean it out a few times, which is good since it is actually doing its job! 10/10 for this product 😀
