Toto Plunger?

[Tremor]

Thanks for such a useful forum. I've learned a lot reading the posts here.

In 1982 I leased a warehouse in New York. There was a square plunger in one of the bathrooms. At the time we had no use for such a device so it was tossed.

Today I'm in a wheelchair so last month we had to upgrade my home's primary bath. We used an ADA compliant (elongated bowl) Toto Drake toilet. Despite the very good flush, I can & do clog it occasionally.

A conventional round plunger has proven useless even using Terry's recommended short strokes. This is compounded by the fact I'm in a wheelchair.

I've searched the www for that square plunger to no avail. Is anyone aware of a "Toto bowl" shaped plunger?

A quote from Fine Home Building


Terry Love of Love Plumbing & Remodel in Redmond, Washington, says, "Most customers who get builder grade 1.6-gal. toilets for the first time have to learn to use a plunger, and believe it or not, a lot of people don't know how to use a plunger."


According to Love, there's a right way to plunge a toilet. "Put the plunger in with water in bowl, and after a series of short, quick strokes, pull up until everything sucks down. Usually people do big strokes up and down. Using that method, some blockages won't move."

This style has a pull-out on the end. I prefer the rubber ones over the plastic.

And then there is the new Korky Beehive plunger.
