In my experience the vast majority of our household plunging incidents are due to the scientific exploration of the toilet's hydrodynamic capacity for toilet paper by preschoolers.

Is the problem just that the existing toilets don't do it well?

I had a similar problem in my old house. The old pre-1.6 gallon toilets literally wouldn't flush poo poo. Replaced them and poop went down every time.

yes this. Both of them are gravity only and there's no bowl jet (the hole at the bottom of the bowl that faces toward the drain pipe, creating flow in that direction). They use at least 3 gallons per flush if not much more. I can do a double flush, just poop and then just paper and they clog on the first go around. I plunge about every other day regardless of what I try.

I figured get the latest and greatest but I don't want toilets that thunderflush at each use.

You wouldn't think that toilet technology has improved in the last 50 years, but modern toilets are way better at flushing then old ones.

+1 for the Champion 4. Just throw away the garbage seat that comes with it, and get a wood one.

What's so great about wooden seats? For my money the best seats are the ones that can't slam, so all you have to do when you're done is tip the lid over and it'll gradually settle down to the bowl.

The best thing about having the unslammable toilet seat lids at home is pooping anywhere else and absolutely spiking the seat lid afterwards because you absentmindedly just let it drop.

The key to a good toilet is the size of the toilet outlet. I challenge you to clog a 3 inch toilet. Maybe your rock hard foot long turd get stuck but you ain't clogging the water up. I have easy close seats so the kids can't slam them, plus they make them with a tiny seat that fits in the lid for if your mini mes are still tiny or you want a challenge when peeing.

Growing up with the first late 80's low flow toilets have scarred me for life. When you need to dump in a bucket of water to flush pee, you know it's bad.

This weekend I bought a new vacuum and was very excited by how much better it is, painted what will eventually be the master bedroom, and fixed a tub stopper lever that was keeping it from fully draining. This morning I stood on my porch and enjoyed the morning rain.

Sometimes homeownership can feel pretty good. :)

I now hate pooping away from home because of the lack of a bidet, not from any sort of poo shame, or fear of dirty public toilets.

well the toilet I was looking to replace sprung a leak and blew water all over. It was located on the 2nd floor and water flowed into the half bath and pantry beneath it as well as all the way to the basement. :argh:

Ok, serious question about bidets. How do you know when you're done squirting your b hole? Like with paper I can look at it and see that it's clean, but I can't see my own pooper.

Real toilets blast your wet rear end with warm air for you after hitting you with the pressure washer.

So, about as effective as a men's-room hand blowdryer, e.g., sorta works but only if there's a powerful and super noisy blast of hot air for like 15 to 20 seconds? Do you bidet your rear end and then blast noisy hot air at 2 AM and wake up everyone else in your house? Or is it more of a leisurely not-noisy 2-minute gentle cycle kind of thing


I'm going to france in April and I hear they have lots of bidets so I need to learn how to do it right

So, when putting a house up for sale, I assume it is standard practice to remove the flag with a nazi symbol on it before listing it. Because poking around zillow I found someone who looks like they missed that memo.
In the garage is a flag with a totenkopf in one corner.

If you mean the tax reform stuff, that was a co-founder and not the CEO. I don’t think he’s with the company any longer.
