so this has to be the single dumbest thing my wife has ever done and now i have a question. yesterday i guess my little girl went #1 in the toilet, and forgot to flush, so a little later, my wife throws her deodorant in the toilet thinking it was the garbage can. instead of just reaching in and grabbing it to throw it away and then washing with some antibacterial soap, she decides to flush the toilet, its a high flow toilet so it sucks the doedorant right down and it is now lodged where i cant reach it. i tried my snake but it wont budge. any ideas??? laugh as much as you need to, as it is sorta funny, but i am so P.O.'s right now i cant see straight, especially since my little boy went #2 in it before it plugged up.....

Man Rob I don't know what to tell ya other than that really sucks. I would probably suck it up and call a plumber.

If you pull the stool off the floor, take it out back and dump it, you may be able to run your hand or snake up it backwards and get er out. It is stuck in the P trap in the toilet i would bet. Not hard to pull the stool, just gotta get a new wax ring to reset it.

as gorss as this is i told her i was gonna leave it, and she could call the landlord or a plumber to explain what had happened. ill let her deal with the ebarrassment and humiliation. who flushes a toilet with large unflushables anyway???????

Ok, I'm done laughing now so I can type.

Sorry Rob, I wouldn't be laughing had it happened to me, but it is a funny story. Clay is right on, D/C the water supply, remove the two nuts holding the crapper down to the floor and lift it up. Only problem for you is before doing this its generally beneficial to drain it... and yours is plugged. Be prepared for the mess... you should easily be able to reach up the pipe from underneath and dislodge the deodorant (might want to invest in some latex gloves?). Get a new wax ring for a couple bucks at the local hardware store, walmart, etc. and reinstall. Piece of cake. Sorry about the mess.
