Best Toilet Plunger Out There?
I have 3 young kids and yes despite my best efforts on training them to NOT use too much TP they still manage to clog the toilets on me from time to time.

What is the best toilet plunger out there? I have a Korky Beehive but the design makes it kind of hard to clean after it’s used.

Just wondering if there is a better option out there for me?

This is the Korky:

2/4 toilets are still builder's grade clog-o-matics as so far only the 2 high use bathrooms have been upgraded to the American standard toilets that are marketed to flush 2 dozen golf balls.

I have an inexpensive plunger similar to op's as first deployed tool. If that doesn't work, I have a 3 ft toilet auger.

Yeah, I have been able to thwart many a plumbing emergencies by upgrading to a 4" valve and modifying the tank to flush using over two gallons.

I don't have a plunger.

Pour a half a cup of Dawn into the bowl and wait 15 minutes, then use an accordion type plunger like this https://www.amazon.com/JS-Jack...TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

If you're shitting golf balls, you've got serious problems.

I second the accordion option.

Is there anything that Dawn can't do?

I had that issue when the kids were younger. I had the standard plunger. After that I employed the 6-8’ snake from Home Depot.

Of course the snake is slightly more of a to-do, but never had a plug the snake couldn’t clear.
