I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

    Some sink plungers have a collapsible flange hidden inside

        Call me crazy but I wear gloves when cleaning toilets

          Not gonna say that I always grab some gloves before I plunge away my horror.

          But I DO wash the ever loving hell out of that plunger after every use. I still prefer dedicated toilet (poo) and sink (gunk) plunger because obvious reasons, but in a pinch?

      That’s a toilet plunger. Exactly. Sink plungers have no flange. :)
