Having long hair it causes your drain to clog up every now and then. With our new shower it seems like even the smallest of hair clogs it up and then you're in a swamp instead of a shower because the water keeps rising and then youre swimming in your own filth. Which is why I prefer showers over baths. This tool is great for the shower, for the kitchen sink, and every other drain in your house or apartment. Definitely a must have so you don't have to rely on maintenance or a plumber. A++ for feeling independent once more.
