“Does the job!
”
by Miss SHAH
No more avoiding the disgusting job of clearing debris from the plughole. It may slip occasionally, but it really works 99% of the time.

“effective - and looks good too!
”
by Mrs Sermon
At last - a plughole insert that fulfills all requirements! I was concerned at first because the suckers on the dossil didn't keep it stuck in place as the plughole my bath is quite deeply set. But despite that, the dossil not only does the job of keeping the plughole clear but you don't end up ankle deep in undrained water AND it even looks good! Excellent little product.

“Amazing gadget!
”
by Vanessa
This is the first shower plug I have found that doesn't make me cringe when I clean it. My daughter and I have really long hair and this is just magic! Hair stays on top, easy to dispose of when you're done showering. Brilliant!

“Suckers don't work but ok for my shower.
”
by Freddie
Works well in my shower, although like some people have said the suckers are next to useless and don't fix the device to the shower. I'm lucky that the shape of the shower waste is such that the dossil sits without needing to be fixed, and doesn't move or rise much. If it did it'd be totally useless as is the experience of some people.

“Good idea but...
”
by Mrs Finlay
I bought 2 dossils, one for use in the shower and one for my kitchen sink. Unfortunately, the dossil does not fit my sink as the plughole is too large so the dossil does not suction down all the way round. As a result when I empty my washing up bowl it unsticks and washes away making it useless in the sink. However it is working very well in the shower and is trapping all the stray hairs nicely!

“Great Gadget
”
by Mrs Bennett
I bought one of these last April for a new shower unit and it's been used every day for 9 months now. Great for trapping hair. It did start to collect mildew after a short while but it cleaned off easily, now I just lift it up after each shower and give it a shake to dry it off, no more mildew. Surprised to see comments about it floating out of place - I've even used it upside down (can't wear glasses in the shower!) and it still does the job. I'm just about to buy another for the over bath shower. I would recommend it, inexpensive and does what it says.

“Worked well but hard to clean
”
by Jose
I used this in our bath/shower and it worked great. However, after a while it began to look so filthy that I had to bin it. I tried soaking it, scrubbing it, I even used a toothbrush and bleach, but nothing seemed to get it clean. More trouble than it's worth.

“Not a power shower Hair Trap
”
by Rosetta
Based on previous reviews I bought a white Dossil to use as a hair trap in my shallow tray power shower cubicle. The Dossil could not cope with the power shower and my long hair, the end result was a flood of water over the bathroom floor. After visiting the Dossil website, I see that I am not alone in having this experience. This item is certainly not for us in a shallow tray power shower cubicle with or without long hair

“Excellent
”
by Mrs Gillian Widdicombe
I have two bathrooms but I thought I would be cautious and only order one for my showers just in case it did not work. This is a great item it stays in place catches loads of hair and I am so pleased with it that I am about to order another one for my other shower room. Well done Lakeland!

“Heather
”
by Mrs holland
I bought the dossil for use in my kitchen sink. Unfortunately the suction pads dont work and therefore the food bits go down the sink.I was very disappointed and am already looking for another solution.

“Does its job!
”
by Emily
I bought one of these for our shower as I have long hair, and it can be a pain at blocking up drains. The dossil does its job and stops the hair being washed down the drain so it can simply be picked up and binned instead.

“Disappointed
”
by Judy
Sorry, found this a waste of money & will be throwing it away. Expensive for what it is. Pretty to look at but keeps floating off so not much use. 2* for attractiveness & catching hair when first put in place but doesnt stay.

“Brilliant!
”
by Anne
Picking hair out of the plug hole turns my stomach and I bless this Dossil every day for catching all the hair in the shower into a neat little nest of clean hair ready to pick up and put in the bin. The suckers sit just where the rim of the plug hold meets the shower tray of our power shower but it stays in place anyway. One of the best things I ever bought from Lakeland (and one of the cheapest). Doesn't really work in the bath, but I have spare one for travelling as stranger's hair in the plughole is even more stomach-churning!

“Not up to expectations
”
by Mrs MacDonald
I bought this with high hopes as our shower constantly clogs with hair. However, the Dossil is too small to fit on our plughole comfortably - the suckers won't stick to the metal rim of the plughole. It's also too small for the kitchen sink, my Mum's kitchen sink, and all the showers in my parents' house... hardly a glowing resumé for the product, which is now languishing in a spare drawer doing absolutely nothing. Maybe Lakeland should be offering this product in a bigger size?

“It doesn't do the job!
”
by Mr cole
Very disappointed with this item, I would definitely not recommend it. It does not stay in place - the little suction pads simply don't work at all. The water lifts it up and so it ends up elsewhere in the shower tub - beware that you might skid on it.

“Great for those with long hair
”
by Donna
I have long hair and this has saved our shower drainage considerably. It can be fiddly to clean though into the holes and around the suckers. I tend to just soak it in a bleach solution whilst I clean the rest of the room. Then scrub with an old dish brush. It stays put as long as you don't tread on it!

“Ideal for the job
”
by Janet
I bought one of these to go in each of my showers in my B&B. It works so well that I could have opened a wig making business with the hair that has not now gone down the plugholes. Exactly what is required for a not so super efficient rural drainage system. Thank you Lakeland.

“Don't waste your money on this!
”
by beverley
Was so disappointed with this item. It does not stay securely in place over the plughole, which renders it useless in trapping hairs etc!!! If there was such a thing as a "0" rating, then that's what I would give it!

“it works but is not exactly unobtrusive
”
by Anne
I got the Dossil to use in the shower - it doesn't move around and it works fine. However, it is quite big and very noticeable - unlike the strainer with the very fine wire mesh that it replaced, which was very unobtrusive and worked brilliantly. Do you have any plans to bring those back?

“does the job!
”
by Mandy
I bought this to use in the bath to stop hair clogging up the plug hole when I shower. It is a bit small to fit over the plug hole and therefore the suckers don't work very well, but it stays in place and seems to be effective -my partner is impressed by my find! I have only used when taking a shower though, I can imagine it might possibly 'float' away in a bath full of water, but have yet to try this.
