Flo provides a simple solution to bath-time challenges. This unique product diverts the flow of water, creating a gentle waterfall, while providing a protective faucet cover to guard against injury. Flo also functions as a bubble bath dispenser.

Simply attach this handy device to the bath tub faucet with the included spring-activated grip -- requires no assembly or special installation. When the water is turned on, it's diverted into a stream that extends up to 12" in front of the faucet, creating a gentle waterfall that makes rinsing your hair easy. The soft material on the front edge of Flo helps protect against injuries caused by bumping or scraping against the faucet. Parents can fill the bubble bath reservoir and let children dispense bubbles into the water by pressing the button on the front. Measures 7 1/4" x 4" x 3".

fits, but beware!
Ok, so it fits over our weird lift up shower valve and it protects the kids from the sharp edge of the faucet, but it grows mold an is pretty gross. I soaked it in bleach ad it smells better but it didn't really get the stains off. Also, the soap drips out if you leave it in. Wastes the bubble bath and makes for a slippery surprise in the morning when you step into the bath tub. I haven't seen any other product that fits over our faucet, so I'm keeping it for now, but i don't love it.

Doesn't fit all faucets
It is a great concept, but didn't fit my system. I just sent it back. But I would recommend it to anyone with an older, smaller tub faucet.

I like it.
It doesn't work as well as I had hoped for making bubbles for the kids, but it does "waterfall" effect the water away from the spout which is a big safety plus.

Overall good item
Overall this is a good item. I purchased this from Babies r Us after seeing it online. I have a six year old who takes showers and a two year old who takes baths. I like not having to remove it every time to turn the shower on. It does stay on the faucet very well, which I thought it would slip off easily. The only two thing I did not like was that it is made of a hard plastic. I guess it covers up the sharp edges on the faucet but if your child were to hit there head I think they would still get hurt but not as bad if there were nothing covering the faucet. Second the so called bubble dispenser. Great idea but it didn't work well. Not sure if solution was too thick. Other then that my girls look how the water comes out and splashes them.

No more worries
Great product. Very easy installation. Now we don't have to worry about our youngest son hitting his head on the sharp edge of the tub faucet.

Good thought but needs work
This would be the perfect bath product except for a few flaws.
1. It is meant to fit a range of faucets, however it does not clamp down tightly and is very easy for my children to pull off.
2. The soap dispencer is a great idea but the soap residue is hard to get out after a few uses and the button sticks in the open position.

It is nice and soft and helps block the kids from hitting their heads but I would like it not to fall off so easily.

Nice idea - but poor function
This would not fit properly on my faucet and seemed like it would've fallen off with water pressure even if it had fit. The upside was that when I called BOON customer service they were nice as can be and were very accomodating and agreed to replace it with any other Boon product I would like (within close value).

Boon Flo
I was so excited when the Boon Flo finally arrived, only to be disappointed that it's not compatable with my faucet. There is a pull down nob on my faucet that turns the shower on and it causes the Flo not to fit properly, thus causing it not to 'flo' properly. We are in the process of selling our house and I hope our new house will have the standard faucets so I will be able to use it. I think it's a great product and will make bath time a little easier.

LOVE IT, but only when it fits
Like most other reviewers, I found that this cover did not fit all faucets. It fit in my home just fine, though it was a little loose, and my daughter easily pulled it off. But it didn't fit over the faucet at my parents home, and it is not a particularly large faucet. That's only a 50% batting average for me.

But when it does fit, it provides a beautiful cascade of water which my husband, myself, and my daughter loves. And you can leave it on at all times, rather than other protective faucet covers which must be removed for filling the tub and placed back on. And because of the unusual shape, my daughter thrilled in pulling it off the faucet and bringing it into the living room to play with for the first few weeks we had it.

I love the concept of the bubble bath dispenser, but our pediatrician has strongly advised against bubble baths for girls as the soap dries out the skin and has been known to cause urinary tract infections or skin irritations in the genital areas. Just a tip for any other parents of little girls out there.

Back saver
This item has saved our little girls back a few times for getting bruised. Also it has made washer her hair easier. I wish I bought this a long time ago.
