Exactly that. What do you do when your poo won’t flush despite multiple attempts at flushing?

Poo knife

Put gloves on and break it up.

What pink said. You need a poo knife

Chiyo666 · 14/04/2020 17:13

Poke it down with a stick

Littlefish · 14/04/2020 17:13

Get a stick from outside and break it up before flushing again.

Make sure you have a bin bag nearby to put the shitty stuck in afterwards.

Or for a much less revolting answer, try either:

  1. Fill bucket with water, pour down at same time as flushing

If that doesn't work go to step 2

  1. Squeeze some bath lotion or shampoo or body wash into the pan, leave for ten minutes, flush.
BertieBotts · 14/04/2020 17:15

Just wait for it to absorb some water and then flush again.

Ladynana · 14/04/2020 17:15

Do people just have sticks lying around in their bathrooms?

Poo knife?!!? Shock

pinkblanchmange · 14/04/2020 17:16

'Poop knife' is an old reddit story - look it up

Iooselipssinkships · 14/04/2020 17:17

Wrap hand in toilet roll then push that shit down!

Poo knife, penis beaker - every day is a school day on MN

Bucket of water poured from height.

If all else fails pour bleach down toilet and leave overnight. Then repeat with bucket.

This really has brightened up my day 😂😂😂😂

Ladynana · 14/04/2020 17:21

I’m not actually trolling this happened to me earlier. I put kitchen gloves on, it was horrid. I didn’t want DH finding out so had to run into the kitchen, grab them and run back again!

OP, on the slight offchance this is a genuine question and you're neither the PT or 8...what is going on in your head that makes you think that your problem is a good conversation starter?

Tarttlet · 14/04/2020 17:22

Pour warm (not boiling!) water in the bowl and let it soften for 15/20 minutes before flushing again. If that doesn't work add a drop of washing up liquid to the bowl and more warm water. It works shockingly well!

Racheyg · 14/04/2020 17:23

Sorry @Ladynana I should laugh at your expense.

My dcs regularly do very large girthy poos and we go through so many toilet brushes as we use them to break it down
