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

    Why has no one mentioned this style? I’ve had one for years, and there’s never been a clog it couldn’t fix.

      They’re too Giger.

      the regular toilet plungers also have a flange and work every time without implanting xenomorphs in your chest cavity.

      I agree, although the plastic will crack /split along one of the folds eventually, rendering it unusable

      Still, that style is my goto

      They sell these in dollar stores here.

      I didn’t have to unclog a sink for years and didn’t own a plunger. I was looking for a “classic one” but they only had these and I wasn’t sure. I gave it a try anyway and to my surprise, it was very efficient.

      Never tried on a toilet and I suspect it would work fine too, but I tried it on my bathtub drain and unfortunately it fails to make a seal.

      Why do you have a man-portable Tesla Coil as a plunger?
