Toilet-specific plungers get the job done faster with way less effort and mess
I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

Babe quick, new toilet lore just dropped!
skibidi?
About 250 years old, thinking it's new is why I wanted a YSK post.
yeah but I feel....
always had the left style 'sink' plungers growing up. they unclogged the shitter just fine.
Absolutely never, ever tried using a plunger on the sink. I guess our family didn't clog the sinks so much? what's clogging these sinks that they justify a plunger?
If you clean a fish and toss a couple scales, bones and fish skin down the sink, it will clog.
in the states, where houses have garbage disposals, I don't think sink clogs are much of a problem anymore.
but most countries don't have garbage disposals, and the original plunger design was invented 250 years ago, before much of modern plumbing and pipe design and everything, so it was useful to have any kind of plunger around.
you can make those couple plungers work for the toilet in a lot of situations, but for the toilet specifically a toilet. plunger is going to make your job way easier without any mess and splashing
yeah I have a disposal that will eat bones. never clogged the sink.
Was the og design for shitters or sinks?
Never had splash issues, I generally plunge pretty cautiously.
og was for drains in general at the time it was invented in the late 1700s, we didn't even have flush toilets or anything more than cesspools, so there was no need to unclog blockages in household toilets.
The first one was wielded more like a hammer, so it really was just to knock shit loose from whatever hole it was in, apparently.
I definitely felt the same way about toilet plungers as you do until I used one.
until I... took the plunge?
