Or start using the shower instead, and stomp it through the grate.
Comment on Toilet specific plungers get the job done faster and with way less effort and mess.

A manual auger works even better and doesn’t splash

The toilet plunger doesn’t splash, but toilet augers whip back and forth while you crank them, causing splashing, plus scrape up the toilet bowl.
Augers are way more work than a toilet plunger.

Yeah, but getting it past the s trap is a pain. A plunger works for 90% of clogs.

Every home should definitely have an auger, but a plunger will work quicker, easier, and cleaner, 99 out of 100 times.

Yeah, I’ve had to help a neighbor with that 1 time out of 100. The plunger was just causing the water to slam against the turd that had created a perfect seal and splash back outside the toilet. It probably took at least 5 uses with the auger to finally clear out enough crap to finally break it apart enough to let it flush.
Fortunately, the second time I helped them with a nearly identical situation, the plunger worked. But it still took a few forceful plunges in quick succession. I was worried I might have to use the auger again.

This is just code for ‘poop knife’, right?

Poop drill.

I mean, it basically is a poop knife that can reach further down inside the toilet.
