you should probably call a plumber unless you know how to get into the pipes, i dont think a plunger will get that out.
Rubber gloves if you can reach it, if not, turn the water off and remove the toilet so you can work better
My son has put a full toilet roll down the toilet numerous times and the water kepps rising to the top. I just wait for the water to go down and use the toilet brush as a plunger til the blockage goes away. If the toilet brush doesnt work wrap a mop with a plastic back taped securely and use that as a plunger instead. good luck
Thrills. You either are gonna find a stick or something to jam it thru or you are going to have to unplumb the toilet and lift it up and get the toy out from the underside. If you do that, you will need to replace the wax ring with a new one otherwise it will leak. Ask the plumbing store.
Turn off the supply valve, the one that comes from the wall flush the toilette if you can to clear the water if not dip it out with a cup, then unbolt the toilette from the floor, turn it over find the toy etc... then put it back make sure you put in a new wax ring to get a good seal. good luck!
Me Ex's son put an apple down the toilette, he tried to snake it first and poked a hole in the apple, highly entertaining for me, he had to take out the toilette in the end.
ive done this many times once you disconeected the toilet turn to side or upside down toy usually falls free or stick your hand in bottom and yank free
I've pulled a lot of toys out with a good closet auger.
Very few times have I had to pull a toilet to get a toy out.
It's best you get a plumber though, to do it for you.
There normally is a trap pipe under the toilet. You'll probably need turn the water off to the toilet then undo and remove the trap so you can get to and remove the lodged object.
Before you try anything else, try buying one of those big black plungers from your local w-mart. I was told to try this when I dropped a hairspray lid in mine. I know what you are thinking IT WON'T WORK, but it did for me. Those things have alot more suction than you think. $4.99 is alot cheaper than a plumber!
GoOd LuCk!
