JS Jackson Supplies Professional Bellows Accordion Toilet Plunger, Thrust Plunge Removes Heavy Duty Clogs from Clogged Bathroom Toilets, Power Plungers, Jackson Parent (Purple)

Product Information

The cup plunger has a hard time sealing around the curved toilet drain, and therefore cannot get enough suction. This plunger is designed to work on flat surfaces; it won’t work well for a toilet clog, because it won’t form a good seal in the rounded surface of a toilet bowl. 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.

Our antimicrobial toilet plunger with storage tray is a fashionable and functional addition to any bathroom. Should you find yourself in a situation where you don’t have a plunger at all, use one of these six plunger-less methods of unclogging a toilet to clear the blockage. You don’t need all three of these plungers, just a cup plunger + a flange or accordion plunger (depending on your preference).

It features a flat rubber cup at the end of a wooden or plastic handle that fits snugly in the toilet bowl, creating a tight seal. It takes up no more room or aesthetic annoyance than a regular plunger (and actually, comes in some nice colors).

If you’d prefer to have just one, the flange plunger gets our vote for the best all-around home plunger. 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. 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. 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.In fact, it has made every clog SO MUCH WORSE because of how angry it makes me after 20 MINUTES OF FIGHTING AGAINST THIS THING! Editor’s note: This article first appeared on the Strategist in October 2016, and nearly four years later, it remains an example of a product that does what it’s supposed to do — exceptionally well. When used properly, accordion plungers create a tighter seal and stronger suction to effectively unclog your drain line.

They’re constructed from a rubber suction cup attached to a long handle, made from plastic or wood, so you can avoid getting your hands dirty. This flange fits well over the toilet drain, making it easy to form the necessary suction to clear a clog. 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. This will help break down the blockage so when you pull the plunger up and out, the water will drain away. It is equipped with an accordion-like rubber cup that allows it to fit various toilet bowl sizes and shapes.EASY TO USE: This bellows plunger utilizes the water in your toilet to aid in plunging and provide maximum plunging power with minimal effort. The flexible flange's design fits perfectly into the bowl's trapped shape and creates a better seal. For myself, they looked exactly as I expected from the description, and I am sure they are going to do a good job in safely displaying arrangements of flowers and greenery.

While it has the extra flap at the bottom like the flange plunger, instead of a cup at the top it has an accordion shape which allows for greater pressure to push out. Traditional plungers are made of porous rubber, which allows bacteria to seep in and is difficult to fully clean. If the water is still not draining properly, you may need to repeat these steps a few times until the clog is completely removed.Contrary to popular belief, the mainstay of bathrooms everywhere isn't actually for the toilet, and it's by far the worst of the three for that use. This seal is necessary to provide enough pressure to dislodge the clog and is the key to successful toilet plunging. 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.
