   • Standard Plunger. Best for: Sinks. This very basic plunger is what most people think of when talking about plungers. A standard plunger has a rubber cup at the end of a straight handle, usually made of wood.
   • Toilet Plunger With Flap. Best for: General use. A toilet plunger has a cup, like that of the sink plunger, but it also has a soft rubber flap that folds out from inside the cup.
   • Accordion Plunger. Best for: Toilets. This interesting-looking plunger has a design even better suited for clearing toilet clogs because it has a smaller cup.
   • Taze Plunger. Best for: Large pipes. A taze plunger is used for clearing large pipes and not the typical household drain clog. A taze plunger consists of a disc sized to fit a particular pipe size and a long steel rod that pushes the disc into the pipe.

   How does a drain plunger work?

   • While the design of a plunger is simple, it is a very useful tool. When the plunger is pressed down, over a clog, it forces air into the drain and increases pressure. When the clog moves, the air will continue to move through the pipes. When pulling the plunger back up it creates a vacuum and forces whatever is in the pipe upwards.
