To ask what do you do with a poo that won’t flush

[Ladynana]

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

Panic!

And then use whatever I can find to try and break it up so it will flush. An unwound metal coat hanger usually does the trick.

Carefully drop several pieces of loo roll, one at a time on top of the offending turd which, when soaked, will weight it down a bit more. Then flush.

Squeeze some bath lotion or shampoo or body wash into the pan, leave for ten minutes, flush

Why do they (or washing up liquid) work?

I usually just stick my face into it and push it down

Never ever put paper on it, you end up totally blocking the loo and you risk an overflow situation on the next flush; trust me I know

DH always blocks loo and I end up wasting a coat hanger breaking it up

Bought this and it works

Luigi's - The World's Best Toilet Plunger: Big, Bad & Powerful. Clears and Unblocks all Toilets With Unique Bellows Design (Updated 2018)

Mumsnet is on fire this evening! A parking thread and poo dilemma. If it carries on like this I'll easily justify £5 p/m.

Pour a bucket of water down and flush at the same time.
Always works here.

Fill a bowl or jug (the biggest you can find) full of water. Flush the toilet and at the same time pour down your big jug of water. Creates a stronger force to flush it down. Works every time

Pour bleach down the loo on top of the poo.

I worked in Y6 a few years ago and we had one kid who would regularly produce poos that resembled "king kongs finger"

The best method I found for getting rid was to break it up with lots of boiling hot water at high speed.

Holy fuck. What are you all eating?

Just drape it in loo roll to weigh it down.

"king kongs finger" Lol!

You can give it a quick, firm push with the toilet brush and it should dive down, then quickly flush and rinse the brush in the gushing water!

"firm push with the toilet brush "

Just a nudge with the toilet brush! Some people think they're disgusting. I don't because I keep it really clean and sanitised!

Fill a builders bucket up with water and pour it down the pan quickly.

Modern toilets have poorer flushes as they use less water.

We keep a jug in the bathroom just for this, how the poos my son does get out of his bum I will never know !

Pour the water quickly the same time as pulling the flush

@DysonFury

Definitely the hot water method. It melts the poo and does make a rather vile poo tea, but works like a charm every time. No need for poo knives or coat hangers (Bleugh!)

Just follow the bellow steps:

1.Take it out, and leave it in the sink

1. Let it dry out
2. Carve into something twee like a garden gnome
3. Buy appropriate clothing for poo-gnome on ebay

4.5 dress poo-gnome

1. Post through neighbours letter box (the one that let's their dog shit in your garden)

Works every time for getting rid of large unflushables

Put lots of paper down then flush and pour a bucket of water down at same time. Repeat if necessary.

Does anyone remember the story where the woman is round her new boyfriend’s flat for the first time. She produced a floater and in a panic threw it out the small open gap at the top of the sash window. To her horror it was secondary glazing and the poo was stuck in the space between the two panes. She had to fess up 😱

I seem to remember reading that there's sometimes a medical cause for poos which float rather than flush?

yes I think I read somewhere it can be a symptom of coeliac.
