My shower drain drains very, very slowly often rising up to my ankles. Ewww! :( What can I do? DrainO or something like that?

Yeah you can try DrainO. It might be a hair clog that you can reach yourself.

Usually, when it gets to the point of backing up that bad, U need to snake the goo out.

Hair, shampoo, soap, conditioner slowly build up...

Snake out the hair, then use a slow drain cleaner to loosen up the goo. Lots of hot water after a good 24 hour "slow drain" cleaner application will flush it out. Experience tells me without the snake, you will see it real soon.

Hope this helps.

Try using a toilet auger on it. Likely it will be long enough to clear the drain.
