White Starfish Drain Hair Catcher
The White Starfish Drain Hair Catcher is a bath and shower accessory designed to prevent hair from clogging drains. It features a five-armed starfish shape made of flexible thermoplastic rubber, with a perforated surface to allow water flow and suction cups at the arm tips for secure attachment over the drain. Designed in Canada, this functional cover works on standard drain openings and is available through Simons Maison.

Product Insights
The White Starfish Drain Hair Catcher from Umbra uses a starfish silhouette as both a decorative accent and a functional anchor system, with each arm holding a suction cup for instant, tool-free installation on any smooth drain. Its 0.25-inch profile sits nearly flush to prevent toe stubbing, while the 6.1-inch diameter covers off-center drains with 25% more coverage than standard 4.9-inch designs. The thermoplastic rubber material flexes without tearing, can be sterilized in boiling water, and is recyclable at end of life, unlike silicone alternatives. However, the suction cups hold firmly on smooth acrylic and porcelain but lose grip on textured marble, requiring a clean, wet surface for optimal performance.
Verified claims
- Silhouette decor
- Starfish silhouette is a deliberate decorative accent for coastal-themed bathrooms and child-friendly spaces.
- Form-function integration
- Each starfish arm holds a suction cup, so the decorative shape is also the anchor system.
- Low profile
- At 0.25 inches thick, it sits nearly flush to avoid tripping on a raised profile.
- Decor flexibility
- Suction-cup attachment allows repositioning without any drain hardware changes.
- Surface grip
- Holds firmly on smooth acrylic and porcelain; grip is weaker on textured marble and textured tile or stone.
- Grip maintenance
- Cleaning and wetting maintain grip; TPR arms withstand repeated flexing.
- Installation
- Installs instantly on any smooth drain without tools.
- Suction mount
- Suction cups install instantly and cover off-center drains up to 6.1 inches, holding securely on smooth surfaces.
- Material
- Thermoplastic rubber flexes without tearing and can be recycled at end of life.
- Drain coverage
- The 6.1-inch span provides 25% more coverage than 4.9-inch designs and is designed to fit most standard tub and shower drains, though some reviewers found it slightly too small to cover their entire drain opening.
- Secure placement
- Five suction cups hold the catcher flush against smooth shower floors, reducing shifting.
- Fatigue resistance
- Suction-cup arms can be flexed hundreds of times for cleaning and re-suction without permanent deformation.
- Sterilizability
- Can be sterilized in boiling water without warping.
- Recyclability
- TPR is recyclable; silicone alternatives are not.
- Cleaning
- Hand wash recommended; daily rinse suffices; periodic boiling safe.
- Drain fit
- The catcher is designed to fit most standard tub and shower drains.
- Long-term suction hold
- With routine cleaning and wetting, the suction cups maintain their hold over time; there are no reports of rapid degradation.
- Drain flow
- It traps hair while letting water drain through, though some reviewers say drainage slows and the holes could be larger.
- Wet activation
- The suction may not hold until the shower is wet; one long-term user recommends repositioning the catcher once the water is running.

Functional and cute
I will be honest, I had very low expectations of this and was a bit nervous at first but figured for 6$ why not! Expectations have been exceeded and then some. Traps hair well (I’m terrified to think how much has been going down the drain this whole time) AND is aesthetically pleasing!

Starfish drain catcher
This starfish-shaped drain cover stops the hair from going down the shower drain while adding a cute design to the shower floor.

Doesn't stick
It's a nice shape and looks like nice on the tub floor. But Doesn't hold suction and keeps slipping around. Wouldn't purchase again.

Bought Another One
Have been using one in our main bathroom for over a year. Works well (though the suction doesn’t hold until wet so you need to reposition once the shower is on). Just bought another one for our new shower. Works well there too. Make sure to clean after each use.
Doesn't fully cover drain
It leaves a part of the drain (which I believe is a standard size) slightly uncovered
Good but
It catches very well the hair but needs larger holes to allow water to pass faster
