Product review (2 stars): Doesn't work well on it's own
I have been using this for a few weeks now and yesterday I decided to put a small holed, mesh "cover" into the drain to see how well this bad catches lint. Basically it catches some and the rest goes down the drain. I'm not sure how effective this is, considering it's sole purpose is to catch lint so you can avoid clogs in your pipes. Bottom line, the holes are too big on this item for it to be very effective. It's big plus is that you save on having to buy many pairs of pantyhose. If you use this, you should probably use a small holed, mesh strainer in the drain too to catch what it does not.
