I bought this to replace an old one that I had purchased through the Regal catalogue many years ago. I moved into a new place and and the tub has a strange shaped indent around the overflow drain. The old cover was heavier stiff plastic and wouldn't seal over it completely. I love how this one is a softer plastic, which I can sort of shape around the area better. It also stays in place impressively well. No more annoying small noisy leaks seeping through the suction cups.
