The Best Beard Bibs
No one likes all the falling fuzz that covers the bathroom during those morning shaves. That's where beard bibs enter the picture. Admittedly, we were wary of them too, but bibs are not just for babies and bikers anymore. With handy suction cups that latch securely onto the bathroom mirror, beard bibs catch all the pesky hairs that can clog a sink and stick in counter cracks. Though it's a newer invention, there are still plenty of decisions to make when buying for ourselves or for partners. Check out our list of man's best beard bibs below so your sink stays hair-free.
Beard Knight Beard Bib
The knight in shaving armor
Once you finally realize the practicality of the beard bib outweighs the ridiculousness, go ahead and suit up for your next shave with Beard Knight’s beard bib. The material is a nonstick, polyester blend with a waterproof coating to ensure that clippings and droplets slide off smoothly. It measures just above two feet wide by three feet long, meaning the bib has plenty of hair-catching potential. Beard Knight includes four suction cups with the bib, so if one goes missing or starts to lose its grip, you’ve got backup. They also provide a handy travel bag to make sure you never have to go bibless again.
Pros:
- The polyester blend is nonstick and treated to be waterproof
- Wide enough to catch all the falling fuzz
- Includes extra suction cups and carrying sleeve
Cons:
- Width requires a larger mirror to secure suction cups
Beard King Beard Bib
The pouch that packs a punch
You won’t have to worry about keeping track of extra storage bags or suction cups when you buy this bib from Beard King; everything is built-in and built to last. Unzip the self-packaging pouch, unfold your newest de-fuzzing companion and fasten it to the mirror using the attached suction cups. If you need to take a break, feel free to fold the bib up and hang it by the grommets located on the neck strap. It even has a sturdy tray for easy access to all your shaving accessories, so you won’t have to remove the bib every time you reach for your comb, scissors, or clippers.
Pros:
- One of the original products of this type; “As Seen on Shark Tank”
- Supreme functionality thanks to its built-in features
- Reinforced grommets for durability
Cons:
- The fabric blend used for construction is not listed
DOEPSILON Beard Bib
Lock down the new look
For those looking to shape rather than shave clean, beard trimming is a precise art; the DOEPSILON beard bib ensures that you can take all the time you need to snip that one pesky chin hair out of place. Of the four suction cups included, two are specifically designed to lock into place for a more secure hold. The bib itself has four reinforced holes: two to fasten to the suction cups, and two more behind the neck, just in case you need to hang the whole bib and take an emergency break. The fabric is high-fiber nylon, waterproof on both sides, and machine-washable. When you’re finally finished, give it a shake, a wash, and slide it neatly into the provided travel sleeve.
Pros:
- Two extra strong suction cups that lock into place
- Waterproof on both sides, meaning hair won’t clump anywhere
- Reinforced fastening holes ensure durability
Cons:
- The “One size fits all” approach doesn’t work for smaller neck sizes

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these actually usable?
Though beard bibs may have gained some renown for their “gag” gift status, there’s no doubt that they’re rising in popularity. Many users report buying them as a joke, only to realize their supreme practicality. The trick to ensure your bib will bag as many whiskers as possible is to stand the proper distance from the bathroom mirror; allowing the fabric to slope down into a pouch maximizes its catching ability. Just be sure you know where your arms are so they don’t knock any unwanted hair on the floor.
Do the suction cups only stick to mirrors?
Generally, suction cups should stick to any smooth, non-porous surface as long as it’s clean. If you’re worried that your bathroom mirror might be too small to accommodate a beard bib, rest assured that tile, glass, or metal should work, too.
