It is not completely clogged, it still drains, but pretty slow. I used Liquid Plumr or something like that ajnd it wirked, but I do not think that it did a complete job. Is Draino better, or is there anything else that I could use?

I haven't used anything but Draino for any problems I've had so I really don't know if it's better than everything else but it DOES work well :D

I use this stuff called Plumber One. It comes in a can kind of like a bug bomb. It shoots high pressure foam stuff down the drain. I can't remember where I got it. It was at a hardware store like Home Depot.

A plunger and some muscles.

Put some water in the tub and then go to town with the plunger. But you really need to get mideval with the the plunger.
Push it all the way down and then rip it up fast and hard. Pull it completely up in the air and off the tub. Repeat a few dozen times after that.
It will suck a bunch of crap out and you just pick it up and throw it away. It's messy but effective.
