Yeah, toilets in American homes tend to rely on a siphon to evacuate the bowl so the outlet has to be narrower. Also, Bidets are not very common so most people [insufficiently] clean themselves with toilet paper which is prone to causing clogs.
Personally, I installed a bidet a few years ago and I would never go back to not having one.
I live in Europe, and somehow my toilet gets blocked every couple of months. Might have to just clean it properly with a spiral, but so far the plunger has always worked.
Just don't be too aggressive. There will be backsplash.
You went to a country with incredibly poor-quality, high fibre ultra-processed food, coupled with medieval-level plumbing, then clogged a toilet and said -
If you play close attention to the "power' of your toilets flush... you'll notice when it's getting close to a clog. That flush will make you second guess something isn't right. And if your neglect it, you will sooner or later realize it was in fact on its way to clog.
The life of a homeowner. You guys have NO idea the amount of chit you need to learn and pay attention to on a daily basis to make sure your home is well maintained. Adulting fkin sucks.
One of the first things I did when my gf and I started dating was buy her one, so that when I finally got comfortable enough to drop dueces at her place I wouldn't be up shit creek without a plunger
I actually didn't even have a conversation about it with her at first I just snuck one in her house and put it by the toilet. Now later on she did mention that just doing that was more than a lot of dudes in the last relationships she'd been in had done for her in months and months. I upgraded to also bringing her over a second one for her second bathroom and a set of toilet scrubbers and bleach gel and I'm always keeping her toilet paper stocked up. Also bring some baby wipes over to keep things extra clean. I try to get her a lot of practical gifts like I'll go to Sam's and just constantly keep her stocked up on paper towels that I got in my trunk, hell we're practically married at this point all this old people stuff I'm doing for romance. It it kind of start with the selfish need for a toilet plunger in case I clogged hers up though lol. I'm just glad we're finally getting past that awkward phase of being shy and timid about bodily functions like pooping peeing farting that kind of stuff and we're able to talk about it and joke about it now.
The figure is somewhere above 0%, but certainly not zero. For example, haven't you seen the crap blaster 9000 infomercial at 2AM on a Tuesday? You connect that bad boy to a fire hydrant (vendor liability disclaimed), pull the turbo-diesel engine rip cord, and wear a full body bio-hazard suit with air supply (suggested). Not for use with some sets. Batteries not included.
