Go to Home Depot and get a snake this will do the trick every time.

Try this -- first shut the water off. now flush the toilet,so that no water will come back into the holding tank. Get your self a big box of baking soda and a big bottle of regular vinegar. Put half the box of soda into the bowl, and pour vinegar in. stand back and watch the action. Keep doing this until it bubbles way down in the pipe. get your self an empty ice cream bucket and pour some water down. Repeat until water runs on its own and pipe is clear of blockage. Now turn on water and flush. If you have used enough baking soda and vinegar the toilet should work fine. No tosic fumes and its enviromentally safe. Do the same to the sinks as the blockage could come from there. Also if you happen to put grease in your sink, and use Drano then you have one big lump of solid soap. The main ingredient in drano is lye,and the main ingredient in your bar soap. If this does not work, then you need a plumber, with a snake.

Dont put your hands in there....that's gross!! Use a freakin plunger....the poo wont hurt the plunger I promise!! Get a good plunger tho not the spiral one from Home Depot......those suck!! If that doesn't work for some reason ( which it should if it's just paper) Buy a toilet auger and use it! Read the instructions it's easy......this will save you money on a plumbing service call

Tell her to plunge any way.
And if the paper was flushed, and the poo remains,
why is the poo last in the loo?
Did the kid wipe before he went #2.
I'd hate launder his under roos!

paper will disolve so after waiting a while, get a bucket of water and pour it in, FAST, the level should have gone down some and the bucket of water acts just like a flush but you can stop if it starts to rise up.

Boil a pot of water first, slowly pour the water in the toilet - making sure it won't overflow, then plunge.

plunge away. The no.2 will go down with the water.

get as much out by hand ( paper ) then use a plunger, and if its still clogged go to the hardware store and get a small snake ( plumbers tool ) that should be all you need. good luck

Chlorox-leave it sitting for awhile, then flush again-or get one of those spiral plungers from Home Depot

Put on a glove and pull it out. You can always wash your hands.
