A Very Simple Hack for Taking Fuller Baths

Nobody likes low bath water. And the overflow drain near the top of your tub prevents you from filling your tub all the way near the top. There is a simple little device you can use to cover this overflow drain, which then allows you to fill your bath water up much higher in the tub.

This drain cover is very easy to install. It uses suction cups to create a tight seal. The top of this drain cover has a hole in it so that if your bath water does reach the top of the cover, it will still drain into the overflow drain (instead of flooding over the side of your bathtub).

What You Need to Know

This drain cover fits over most standard overflow drains. It has a 4-inch inner diameter and is 2 inches deep. It’s made to work with flat, toggle, and snap-on overflow drains. If you are unsure, it would be best to measure your overflow drain to compare to these dimensions.

I mentioned this earlier, but when you install this drain cover, make sure the hole of the drain cover is at the top of the drain. This means when the water reaches the very top, it will still drain down through the overflow drain instead of flooding over the wall of the bathtub.

Overall, I found this SlipX Solutions Bottomless Bath Overflow Drain Cover to be very easy to install and it adds a few extra inches of water to the bathtub.
