Over time, there is a build up of hair folicles and soap scum in bathroom sinks, tubs and showers. Their slow drain is most often caused within the first 3 feet of drain from the fixture. Much as you can't use water to thin oil based paints or paint thinner to thin latex paints, few know and understand that hair and soap scum need a different solvent than what a kitchen sink might need. I recommend a product called "HairAway". It won't harm your pipes, and is biodegradeable and oh how it works! It is formulated to only disolve hair and soap scum and will not affect fish gravel, roots, dirt, vegetable matter, animal fats, or anything manmade. None of that stuff is in bathroom drains anyway, right?

Has this always been the case? Did they start draining slow at the same time? Did they drain well for you once upon a time?
I am having the exact same problem. My shower is also draining really slowly, but I don't know about the toilet; I'm glad yours works though. Actually, the other day I walked in on my son timing how long it took for the shower to drain. He said that it the longest was two minutes (I'm not entirely sure why he was doing that though). We should probably both find plumbers to come out and look at our plumbing.http://www.cincinnati-plumbers.com
