Dropped something in the toilet, now it's clogged. How do I get it out?

First, try a quality flange plunger; sometimes a good seal and a few pushes can dislodge it. If that fails, get a toilet auger, also known as a closet auger. These are designed to navigate the toilet's trap without scratching the porcelain and can often hook or push the object through. Do not use a regular drain snake, as it can damage the bowl. If the auger doesn't work, the object is likely lodged firmly in the trapway or further down the drain. Your next step is to carefully remove the toilet to access the obstruction. If you're not comfortable with pulling the toilet yourself, call a licensed plumber. They'll have the right tools and can properly reinstall it with a new wax ring.
