Plunger?

Did it happen after a big release? or has it been happening over time?

Poo less

/I suppose a HELPFUL answer would be that I suggest the bucket of water method as well. Works a treat

A plunger is a plunger mate

Call a plumber who has cerificates all over his van it is the only way to get anything done, you shouldn't touch a toilet unless you are qualified to do so

Alternatively flush it a few times if this does't help get the ruber glove and reach on in there.

I don't think you'll find that there are mk3 iPlunges or Plungeator 2000s, I think it's generally a design which has worked as well over the years with no upgrades, go in, find one and buy. Done

Just pray to god the soil pipe seals are good or strong enough to take it!

take your sock off and stick your foot in as far as you can, wiggle toes to release buildup.

I used some beading I found in the garage.. but it snapped so ended up calling someone out.. I'm not sure what was more embarrassing tbh

Put your phone on vibrate, flush it down and then ring it.
