FAQs

First, remove any existing clogs for the last time! The DrainWig will not remove hair clogs already in the drain, but it will prevent all future clogs.

If your drain has a stopper, and you would like to maintain the function of your bath, we recommend our Bathtub DrainWig. The stopper is replaced, and the bath can be used as normal. This would include bath/shower combos and soaking bathtubs. If your drain is stopper-less, such as a shower, then we recommend our Shower DrainWig.

The DrainWig is crafted from durable plastic and rust-proof stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting performance. Be sure to buy the authentic DrainWig brand, as counterfeits will rust and break apart, causing more headaches. The DrainWig is designed for durability and built to last.

You will be shocked when you witness how big the hairball can get and still slide through the bathtub drain. If you leave it in too long, you may need to put on some rubber/vinyl gloves to help it along. Worst case scenario, you may need to remove your drain cover to remove the DrainWig chain. Look on the bright side: you will be the proud owner of a very large hair ball!

Yes, the DrainWig can be reused if you're comfortable cleaning the hair off the chain. However, if you have a sensitive gag reflex, feel free to dispose of it and replace it with a fresh one.

We recommend replacing your DrainWig every 2-4 months or monitoring the drain's water flow. If you notice water backing up, it’s time for a replacement!

DrainWig consists of an HDPE plastic cap with a stainless steel chain and silicone whiskers.

First, be patient! The DrainWig is designed to catch only the hair that causes a clog in the p-trap. Second, it is very rare, but occasionally a plumber will install a p-trap in a non-standard location under the drain, and the DrainWig will not be long enough to catch the hair.
