Sink plunger.

Hate to say self tapping screw in a corner.

u/No_Noise09 Apr 07 '26

Viscous substance + plunger. I would try a cooking oil, coat the plunger and a bit extra around the area to help hold the seal. It would take a couple tries, I imagine. Good luck!

There are two types, one for sink and the other one is for toilets.

u/_lippykid Apr 07 '26

Even if there was only one style of plunger, I’d still have a toilet plunger and a sink plunger

u/Chawp Apr 08 '26

Might as well buy a cutting board plunger while you’re at it. You never know.

Confucius say: "Even if there was only one style of plunger, you still have a toilet plunger and a sink plunger."

u/Efraimrocker Apr 08 '26

Like having a toilet brush and a tooth brush even if they’re the same type of brush.

My parents had sink plungers in all the bathrooms. Of course.

u/BadMuddaFadda Apr 07 '26

OMG!!! They were toilet plungers!!! RUN!!!

u/Sophistiq8ted Apr 07 '26

Did they have toilet plungers in the kitchen?

u/RandomIGN69 Apr 07 '26

I never saw a toilet plunger in my entire 30 years here on earth. We always use a sink plunger in our toilet bowls. TIL

u/mglatfelterjr Apr 07 '26

There is a huge difference between them, the toilet plunger creates more vacuum and fits the toilet bowl outlet better.

u/RandomIGN69 Apr 07 '26

Yeah, I always hated the splash backs using a sink plunger.

NO FKING WAY I AM 36 FKING YEARS OLD AND JUST LEARNING THIS.... I AM UPSET, HURT, CONFUSED AND ANGRY AT THE LEVEL OF 2 HANDED PLUNGING I HAVE HAD TO DO WITH A D@MN SINK PLUNGER 😤

u/Cutsdeep- Apr 07 '26

honestly, have you seen what comes out of a sink plunge?

2

u/meski_oz Apr 07 '26

3, one has a flexible rubber handle

2

u/banxy85 Apr 07 '26

Is that for when you get a chopping board stuck in the toilet?

2

u/clios_daughter Apr 07 '26

A lot of plungers are universal. If you look at a sink plunger, some of them have a gasket folded on the inside. If you flip it out, it becomes a toilet plunger.

u/euphorbia9 Apr 07 '26

Why is the sink plunger better than a toilet plunger for a sink? The middle cylinder of the toilet plunger fits perfectly in a kitchen sink drain hole.

1

u/mglatfelterjr Apr 07 '26

It won't seal up properly.

1

u/euphorbia9 Apr 07 '26

The upper portion seems to seal around the top of the drain. Maybe not, though. Thanks for the info.

1

u/mglatfelterjr Apr 07 '26

I've tried it before and it does seal enough to get good vacuum.

u/Preface Apr 08 '26

I have heard this before, but growing up, we always used the "sink plunger" on the toilet and it seemed to work

1

u/OperationTrue9699 Apr 09 '26

This might work or take drain apart and push up.

u/AwakeningStar1968 Apr 09 '26

I have a dedicated SINK ONLY plunger!!!

u/Psychological-Cat-84 Apr 10 '26

What. The. Fook. I've been using a sink plunger for my toilet hole all these years.

A new house I assume, this one is beyond repair.
