Try using a plumber's snake to push it through.

Keep topping the toilet bowl up with water and in time the loo roll will dissolve, and gravity will do the trick.
The alternative is to get some rods yourself from the local B & Q and have a go yourself (If you can access the pipes outside).

Drain Rods are for drains, not Toilets, they do not bend enough.
A plumbers snake is a coil of metal that will bend around the u-bend and you can prod the paper till it goes.
The snake may scratch the bottom of the bowl, so if you can put a bit of plastic there to stop it getting scratched, else the scratches will get unsightly with age; just don't let the plastic slip round the bend.
Best of luck, and remember to wear gloves.

Hi, if you keep the sucttion going then it should eventually get the toilet roll moving and you might be able to get it out. The only other way is to see if you can get your hand in and pull it out, it will be fine if you have some rubber gloves on, you can also use the coat hanger trick as you will get it further using your hand and the coat hanger. Just keep the water moving and flushing, i no its a pain in the but, but it should move eventually.

For starters, If you have a 'Close Coupled Flush' (the tank sits on the toilet pan) remove the tank. In the case of either a Close coupled flush, or Low Level Flush(short piece of pipe from tank to pan) remove the pan...4 large woodscrews. this may enable you to see the roll, it may still be in the pan, if not, it should not be far. Then, if its in the pipe, use one of those flexy sani-snakes (diy store) to break it apart.Try not to plunge it further down....

i must be panicking. The psychedelic 1970's wallpaper must be throbbing on the walls. The lavatory roll ought to enhance contained in the water to fifty cases its own length and block the door so i can't get out. i must be pinned adversarial to the cistern and me head must be bursting as listen the sound of Mrs Doyle's footsteps coming up the steps. Then i ought to evoke and understand it become all authentic as Mrs Doyle stands there searching at me like i become the cat that stole the friday evening fish. If in hardship-free words i ought to blame Jack.

There are snakes that you can get at a hardware store that can grab things and pull them out.
Some plumbers want things to be expensive so they can charge more. IF the snake doesnt work try a different plumber.

Buy a bottle of caustic soda and throw it down the bowl. The caustic soda will disolve the toilet roll in about 2 hours and you'll be able to poo in confidence!
Caustic soda costs £1 in those cheap pound shops.
Good luck

After three days I would hope that it is clear now it's a long time not going to the loo.
