Editor's Notes
April 24, 2020:
Selecting a plug for your bathtub, kitchen sink, or bathroom sink is a fairly easy decision to make. The first thing you want to do is measure the size of your drain to ensure a snug fit. Then you can choose which plug you like the best based on its appearance, construction, and ease of use.
Appearance is important if you want to make sure the plug fits the design scheme of your kitchen or bathroom. The Drain Buddy and the Danco Rubber are both tastefully designed and will not stick out like a sore thumb. Plugs are usually constructed in some type of rubber or metal, such as the V-Top Bathtub Plug and the Essential Values. Both are durable materials, so select your personal preference. When it comes to ease of use, you certainly do not want to make it complicated. The Stan Boutique and the OXO Tot Tub are simple to use for anyone.
