It is equipped with an accordion-like rubber cup that allows it to fit various toilet bowl sizes and shapes. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . I’ve thought of gifting the accordion plunger to people as a housewarming gift, but it didn’t seem to strike the right tone. A surprising number of folks reach adulthood without ever learning that there’s more than one kind of plunger.

It's a bit more difficult to use than the flange until you get the hang of it, and can cause more splashback if you're too gung-ho, but I find it's the most powerful of the three by far. The cup is sealed over the opening and the movement of the handle then forces the water pressure up and down eventually dislodging blockages. For all of you who still have that little rubber cup with a wooden stick attached to it that you might refer to as a plunger, we’re not living in the 1950s anymore. However, this plunger will not work well for a toilet clog since it won’t be able to seal properly to create suction. I’ve clogged and subsequently unclogged toilets in hotels around the world, in friends’ houses, in strangers’ houses, and in the many homes and apartments I’ve lived in during my life.There are different types of toilet plungers available, so it's important to know what type you need and how to use it properly. The cup plunger has a hard time sealing around the curved toilet drain, and therefore cannot get enough suction. I'm assuming the issue is bowl size vs plunger size, but how the hell am I supposed to know what size plunger to get? To use, place the cup over the opening of the blocked area to form a seal, then using firm pressure, move the plunger up and down for about 20 seconds, ensuring the handle stays pointed straight up. Sink plungers are best on flat surfaces where the cup can lay flat over the drain and create the vacuum necessary to dislodge the clog.

We’ll cover the three main types of plungers: the sink plunger, the toilet (or flange) plunger and the accordion plunger. With the right plunger and proper technique, you can save time and money by tackling your own clogs in the comfort of your own home.

Unlike regular plungers, accordion plungers feature a flexible rubber head that can be adjusted to fit into various shapes and sizes. The hard plastic accordion design is not the easiest to use but many people swear by accordion plungers as the best toilet plunger for tough clogs.

While some heavy-duty rubber toilet plungers (also known as “flange plungers”) have an essential part that goes down into the drain, they also still have the rubber cup around the top and for me, the cup always just curls and turns inside out and then I have to waste precious plunging time and energy trying to flip it back.

It may be a good idea to keep on hand one of each of the three kinds of plungers so that you always have the right plunger for the job. When the toilet is overflowing or the sink is backed up on Thanksgiving, having a plunger on hand can make a huge difference. EASY TO USE: This bellows plunger utilizes the water in your toilet to aid in plunging and provide maximum plunging power with minimal effort. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

The flexible flange's design fits perfectly into the bowl's trapped shape and creates a better seal. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . Standard plungers can only displace between 2 and 4 cups of water at a time, but our accordion design allows for a much greater capacity than other toilet bowl plungers, resulting in a more forceful push. Plunging an overflowing toilet is a messy job, and you should use gloves to avoid coming into contact with bacteria or waste.When you seal the plunger over the drain opening and push it down, you increase the pressure in the pipe. The bottom can even be pushed inside itself so the cup can be used on flat surfaces, but for the love of god do not use this plunger for the toilet and the sink. So hopefully I can spare some of you the effort and frustration of trying to unclog a drain with the wrong tool for the job. You can, in fact, get by with just having a flange or accordion plunger, since these versatile plungers can do double duty for both sink and toilet. This will help break down the blockage so when you pull the plunger up and out, the water will drain away.
