Lower water content toilet flushes

I'm going for at least 6 pages. Like an overflow pipe, this one is going to run and run....

Seems to me some of newer toilets are smaller ( rather more like a Mini instead of the genuine Dodge RAM) and the flush out route/s- bend rather dinky. Hence more flushing to get it going.

Keep a bucket handy for the stubborn

I did a stint in Oman, and all the toilets there have a small shower head at the side of the pan, so people can rinse their feet before prayers. Very useful for a bit of extra rinse and flush too. We had one installed at home when the bathroom was redone, it is on the power shower circuit, so we have to be careful. I only pray before BR though.

I find it quite helpful to keep an old bread knife in the toilet in case of monster logs that refuse to flush.

Too much information.

In the RN I had to do a stint on the chippies party. Basically an on board odd job man. It included unblocking toilets. We used to have a tool called a turd burgerler which was like a large bike pump you could pump up and store pressure in with a plunger head fitted. First time no one warms you of the looming bio hazard. You shoved it in the pan, pulled the trigger and found the blocked, pressurised pipe would return to you the contents. The laughter from your mates still haunts me. Next time full foul weather clothing, wellies and goggles.....until the next newbie needed initiating.

We moved house about 5 months ago and frankly flushing power is poor in all but one toilet.
House has four toilets but in truth I only use the one with decent flush power.
First World problem obviously but annoying.
Totally agree that whilst trying to save water it seems these newer water closets end up using more.

4 bogs?!
