How do you actually use a plunger for a toilet???
This might seem like a dumb question but I’m just wondering, if a toilets blocked how do you use the plunger? I know you sort of push it up and down but if it’s filled with water toilet paper and even poo how does that work? Can someone help lol in case I need to unblock a toilet

Amazingly, I know this one.
There is a difference between a sink plunger and a toilet plunger. The sink ones are just the stick with the cup on the end. Toilet ones have like a sort of inner flange on the end like a mute on a trumpet. You put it down there and thrust it up and down a bit like you're shaking a bottle of champagne. It should then force whatever is blocking the trap over into the waste downpipe.
You could use a sink one in an emergency, but it won't be as effective.
