Product review (1 stars): Too stiff - works for a while, but then starts to curl up and is more of a plug.
Like a lot of other reviewers that have rated this as one star - It is too stiff and I repeatedly need to push things down the drain.  It even is difficult when it's just plain water. It is real junk and I was hoping that there was an alternative to order now - but alas it's the same piece I ordered last time.
