A plunger (occasionally, plumber's helper) is a common device used to release stoppages in plumbing. Officially known as a "hydroforce blast cup", it consists of a rubber cup with an attached stick, usually made of wood. The cup is pushed down against the drain, and either pressed hard into the drain to force air in, or is pushed down until the rubber cup is flattened, then pulled out, causing a vacuum. The intent is to loosen or break up a clog, excessive material, or other blockage in a sink, toilet, bathtub, shower, etc.
A plunger is much more effective when there is water in the pipe because water is inelastic and will thus transmit more of the applied force than air.
When a plunger is ineffective, it is often supplemented by a chemical drain opener, or the use of a plumber's snake. If necessary, a plumber may need to be called.
I have never heard of a "Vaccuum plunger" before...

The actual name is a "vacuum plunger" and a good plumber can unstop most sinks with it.
The secret is in the "pull" and not the "push"
also be sure all overflows are plugged to create a good vacuum, kind of like the vacuum I create when I'm sucking on your neck (and other places)
