Best bathtub drain stoppers according to redditors

You can get bath overflow drain covers to increase the height of the drain. I have that exact one and it works great. The water level stays high and the water seems to stay warmer for longer.

You're welcome

Get yourself one of these.

I even get my shoulders in sometimes.

I looooove baths. I take a long (+1 hour) bath at least once and usually twice a week. I use bath bombs, a bit of an oil (coconut or sweet almond), and I use this thing so I can fill the tub really full. Honestly that has been the biggest game changer.

Bialetti - stove top espresso maker - you'll never need to buy an expensive coffee maker ever again.

Leuchterm 1917 journal for my bullet journal

6in Ruler to go with my journal - fits in the back pocket perfectly

Huhuhero Color Pen Set also to go with my journal -- has every color you'll need and has a really nice thickness. I use a finer tipped Staedtler for writing but these pens are perfect for titles and decorating and under $6 can't be beat

Customizable dog tag

Ahava Dead Sea Bath Salts - for a luxurious bath that won't dry you out

Ramekins for all of your baking needs. It's also fantastic to use for cooking (holding onto spices, separating eggs, etc.) and for serving dips.

Dog Toy Basket - adorable, holds a ton of toys, and looks really chic in my apartment.

Salt and Pepper Mill Grinders - pretty and functional

Bath Overflow Cover - get your water higher for a more satisfying bath

Bath Spa Pillow

Grippy Stand - the BEST stand for any size tablet.. I have two of them they're so good

Hotel Spa Cotton Towel 4 Pack - smallish bath towel with so many uses. I leave then by the front door to wipe the pup's paws.

Popin Cookin 9 Pack - the MOST FUN you'll ever have 9 times over

Tons and tons and tons of books - look under the "available for less money" links for "used" paperback versions that will make them super affordable and they usually come nearly brand new!

YUP. I treated myself recently to one of those bath pillows/headrests, some epsom salts, and this overflow drain cover that gives me an extra 2in or so of bathwater. Baths are sooooo nice now. :D

As a tall woman who has never had a tub that's big enough (freakin' tiny tubs man....) I bought this cover thing to add a couple more inches of bath water.

Get a deeper bath by covering up the overflow drain. A must have for my baths
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kc5zCbQR1FY4T

Search for a bath overflow drain cover. You can get one on Amazon for $7, or pick one up at Bed, Bath and Beyond and the like. It covers the drain so you can have a deep bath.

Edit: there’s a hole in the top so you won’t run the risk of completely overflowing the tub.

In de VS worden ze verkocht als ['Bath overflow drain covers'. ] (https://www.amazon.com/SlipX-Solutions-Bottomless-Overflow-Recyclable/dp/B00314WHW6) Helaas geen verzending naar Nederland.

The answer to all our prayers. Seriously best $9 I've ever spent.

the top part you see here threads to a "nut" on the underside of the tub. with all that rust it might be difficult to get off, but you would just unscrew it (lefty-loosy). here's a pic: https://bathrenovationhq.com/wp-content/uploads/bathtub-drain-removal-2.jpg to give you an idea of what you're looking at.

for an easy fix, they make replacement drains that fit in what you have left: https://www.amazon.com/Recyclable-Snug-Plug-Drain-Stopper/dp/B003151V3Q. also might want to invest in a strainer like this so you catch the hair before it clogs.

Have you tried one made like this one ?

Is this a sink or a tub? What's the access like underneath?

If it's a tub, just get this: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Tub-Stopper/dp/B0039A58HI

Try one of these.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6 Worth every penny

I also have a bath overflow drain cover (allows the tub to fill up a little higher, which covers my baby bump a little more) and a bathtub tray (what I like about this one is the little wine glass slot on the right...I had this before I was pregnant 😉)

I also bring my water bottle in for bath time. The warm water really dehydrates me. I have a 25oz Eddy Cambelback water bottle that I bring everywhere. I love the straw and I can open/sip it one handed. I think that feature will come in handy once the baby is born!

For the drain, this is a flat-type grate then? Those are typical where I live (San Francisco). We use silicon drain stoppers for those.
https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Silicone-Drain-Stopper-Aqua/dp/B0038JE650/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=PT8KQBA5XHXHW0A7WEEH&th=1

Then for the "overflow drain" that a lot of tubs have, we use deep water bath gadget (also silicone)
https://www.amazon.com/Better-Bath-Deep-Water/dp/B0001YJIGW
Total investment: about $15

Adjustment of the mechanism is the correct answer, but if you buy the type of flat silicone/rubber bath stopper that fits over the drain when the plug is "down", you will have it for emergencies and for your travel-kit.

Have you met my best friend? https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Tub-Stopper/dp/B0039A58HI

This might fix your drain problem - it's letting me enjoy lovely relaxing baths! http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Tub-Stopper/dp/B0039A58HI/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0

A shower curtain if you have the kind of tub/shower that needs one. Also get a hair stopper to prevent hair going down the drain! Something like this. If you have a tub and like baths I suggest a drain cover too to get an extra few inches of water/bubbles.

Enjoy your new house!

I just took a bubble bath and used a clay face mask and I feel so relaxed. Also, this thing is awesome. I filled my bathtub all the way to the top.

Ive got a bunch of little ideas. Fuzzy pants, robes, or shorts like these. Or a nice fuzzy blanket/throw. I love those.

this bath drain will give you an extra 2-3 inches of water in the bath! bath pillows are also a godsend.

If she doesnt already have a phone workout band she needs one. I also seriously recommend fruit infuser water bottles!!

Best of luck.

Bottomless Bath Overflow Drain Cover - Recyclable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_28yAybW0GSFQH

Happy soaking!

Get your screwdriver and remove the overflow drain cover. Get a piece of plastic wrap and fold it over itself a few times to make a thicker piece of plastic. Take the plastic and cover the hole. Make a small hole for the screw and screw the drain cover back on. Cut off excess plastic as necessary.

or you can just buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=retrorenov-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=HEN4FB5YU7ANYZ2H&creativeASIN=B00314WHW6

u/alleycat2-14 gave a good suggestion. Maybe something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ANP7608/ref=psdch_344741011_t2_B01ANP7608

The overflow's I've seen as a consumer/DIYer are an integral part of the drain system so they'd be difficult to seal off.

We do have a deep soaking tub that we like to soak in a bit deeper than the overflow allows, so we use something like this which adds few inches to the water level and just sticks on the top like a suction cup: https://www.amazon.com/Bottomless-Bath-Overflow-Drain-Cover/dp/B00314WHW6

I discovered something on Amazon for this problem! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00314WHW6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449416496&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=bath+overflow+drain+cover&dpPl=1&dpID=41p99YiVtUL&ref=plSrch

Maybe something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ANP7608/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_bNKUst_c_x_4_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=CAYEGKYQCZC0V8FW9BGG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=c09c378e-7f75-598d-bba5-e506a2ab20eb&pf_rd_i=344741011) for when the shower is not in use.

Usually if there are no threads I would expect to use a basket strainer, though thats pretty uncommon for a laundry sink, most have the drain fitting already installed, so you will need to purchase something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lasco-03-1029-Laundry-Strainer-Connections/dp/B000FHBHCI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_7. You will need a basket strainer and plumbers putty. The way it attaches to the sink is by compression. I cant see the plug, is it prefabbed into the drain or is it a mechanical plug?

Hmm... I guess the most random thing that I think I need would be this Bath Overflow Drain Cover
or this head lamp.

I feel like the tub cover is obvious. The head lamp would have come in handy last night when the power went out while I was at work and had to stay and finish my stuff.

to infinity and beyond!

I have this - I use it for myself for a fuller bath. I’m sure a toddler could pull it off quickly but it would buy you 5 seconds.

I signed up for OKCupid in 2002 or 2003, when it first came out. I went on many dates, made some friends, and I'm still in touch with some of them. I met one guy, took him to an Evanescence concert, ended up meeting the brother, started dating the brother, and drove down one weekend to help the brother move to a new place...And got in a horrendous car accident. Totally screwed up my body, had surgery and everything. All thanks to online dating.

But I didn't give up. I tried other sites, too. Plenty of Fish, Geek2Geek, MMODating (my picture was in an advertisement for it in a gaming magazine), even Craigslist. Nothing stuck.

Until two and a half years ago. August 25th, 2011, I just sent out messages to about forty guys on about three different sites.

One wrote me back. And, surprisingly, we hit it off. We REALLY hit it off. So much so, that we were engaged within for months, and married two months later.

Tomorrow is our two year wedding anniversary, in fact. My parents just showed up, as I write this, to take us out to dinner for it, since we can't afford to treat ourselves.

The point is, don't give up. There are lots of people out there, and online communication is a great way to get to know someone, vet out their likes and dislikes, find out how you're similar. I was 31 before I met the man of my dreams, but it DOES happen.

And I'm still friends with those brothers I met in 2004. And others I've met through dating sites.

Keep at it. You'll find your luck soon, I'm sure. I'm rooting for you!

EDIT: Item, because some days I'd really love the ability to take a bath. We have a tub, but no way to stop the water from draining out. :-(

> Or, for just an extra inch or two, rotate the overflow drain 180* and caulk it.

Or just buy one of these to throw over the overflow when you're taking a bath.

My gut tells me that everyone but me knew already, but I didn't know that I could just cover this thing and my bathtub would stop steadily draining. I didn't even know the nose-lookin' thing in every bathtub I've ever bathed in was an over-flow drain. I thought it was just a drain toggle that never worked. My whole life I've been adjusting the water to trickle down so my hedonistic ass can take a bath with the water at the rim like the good lord intended.

I have so many regrets.

If you're talking about the stopper that holds in the water they have them on amazon for like 6 bucks if you wanted to order one https://www.amazon.com/Wimaha-Silicone-Recyclable-Universal-Water-drop/dp/B07497P7MN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1518224890&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=bathtub+stopper&psc=1

I don't know why they design the overflow inlet so poorly on a lot of tubs, but these things are life-changing.

Ik ben er ook pas net achter, maar de Duitse Amazon brengt vaak wijsheid. Link. Deze verstuurt wel naar Nederland.

Wijziging: Ik vergat /u/tim641 te tikken.

Deep bath overflow drain cover <- I have the same problem, this thingabobber helps get that extra few inches of water depth.

But for real, our shower is in constant use and too grody for me to ever feel up to cleaning it and soaking. I dream of one day having a separate Japanese soaking tub because they're shorter in length but deeper. I want everything but my nose and eyes covered so I can soak like a damn alligator.

My bathtub is one of my top 5 places to get stoned. Lucky enough to have a killer bathtub as well as a great view of awesome trees and sky, out of a couple windows in my bathroom on the 2nd floor.

I recommended the other day one of those clear plastic things that go over your overflow drain thing that let you get a couple more inches of goodness!

This. also this. and this. also maybe some books? Ask for fancy ice cream? Lol or if you like who's asking tell them you wanna visit a soda jerk (old fashioned soda shop)

Amazon sells sets of them. HDPE is a very common plastic. I use a rubber bathtub stopper with a flange that saved me from being sprayed in the face by expanding solvent. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Wow I am so late on this! Sorry, if you're still interested I was finally able to take a bath last night after receiving this stuff.

I purchased this drain stopper and this overflow cover Together they worked very well together & allowed me to fill my bath probably another 3 inches or so. My bath is fairly old in my apartment & without the drain cover it drains (very slowly) but let's say I'm taking just a 20-30 minute bath, it will be less than half full by the time I'm finished.

I had really bad luck last night - I guess I chose to take a bath when everyone in my building decided to run their dishwasher & do laundry & whatever else so I had 0 hot water & really didn't feel like sitting in lukewarm water forever. I feel like the overflow cover would have allowed me to fill up even farther which would have been nice.

Coupled with some candles & a bath pillow & it would be a perfect bath. I really recommend them. Also for as cheap as the items were they seem pretty durable & with proper care I would say they would last quite a while.

I had one but I didn't realize the care instructions are meant to be followed and it got mildewy and has to be thrown away. So yes, that is what I would choose. Thanks for the contest!

Superdrug Travel Wash + Silicone Drain Plug

Mostly I just get my laundry done, if I'm somewhere where it's cheap. Really can't be arsed with drying and folding...

My sister died and my brother had a nervous breakdown in my early pregnancy, so I'm no stranger to stress! Just remember, babies are born in much worse circumstances. Your baby isn't going to come into the world addicted to drugs or malnourished. You're giving your baby the nutrition and love he/she needs, and you're bringing your baby into a loving family. There is so much emphasis placed on emotional health during pregnancy, but we're still humans. We don't get a bubble with the positive pregnancy test. Life continues, stress still happens. Babies have issues whether their moms were stressed during pregnancy or not. Granted, I will probably feel guilty about every little problem she has, but I will forgive myself for being stressed during pregnancy, and you will need to, too.

I can't say that I handled stress well early on, but I feel like I'm doing okay now, so here's my advice:

1. Get a deep water tub thing and take baths once a week. I've never been a bath person before getting that because I'm 5'8" and don't really fit in tubs, but that thing is a game changer. I always talk to my baby during baths. She doesn't move, but it's our special time.
   
   
2. Journal. I know it's cliched, but do it. Write letters to your baby, write your own feelings, doodle, draw, find a way to get your stress out of yourself.
   
   
3. Breathe. Sit somewhere comfortable, play relaxing music, and breathe in through your nose for the count of 4, and out through your mouth for the count of 8. Deep refreshing breaths in, everything else goes out. Do it for at least 10 minutes.
   
   
4. Find a way to be active. Do prenatal exercise videos on youtube, go on walks, do something. It really does make you feel better.
   
   
5. Talk to your husband. You know that moment in rom coms when you want to yell at the screen, "Just tell her why you didn't come!" and you feel like it's ridiculous because no one would be that bad at communication in real life? You might be having one of those moments right now. My DH and I have had a few of them during pregnancy, and once we talked about things, we found that we were usually on the same page. Maybe your husband would love to move back east, but thinks it'd be too much for you. Maybe you're having mixed feelings about being a SAHM, and he is too. Maybe he thinks you should talk to your mom about everything, he doesn't feel like he needs to be your only emotional support. Sit down and have a heart to heart. Tell him that you know how hard he's working to get a job, and that you love him so much for it. Share your hopes, fears, and stress with him. You're committed for better or worse. This is just some worse. It'll get better.
   
   I hope some of those help! Sending much love! -M

If you want to revoke club membership you should look into something like this!

Have you tried a new or different plug?

You can always take out the drain piece itself and replace the plumber's putty underneath it.
Or just get a rubber drain stopper.

I see that you like bath products! I think we would both like the Bath Overflow Drain Cover. It lets you put more water in a bath for deeper bubble baths! I know my tub at home seems to drain really low, and the few extra inches would be really lovely.

It should hold water when raised, drain when lowered.Sometimes you need to wiggle it a bit. Also, note that there is an overflow space at the bottom of the metal circle.If the tub fills to here, it will drain here, rather than go all the way to the top of the tub. Should you want a fuller tub there is a silicone suction-cup gadget you can put on to block the overflow.
