Here's a Tip - Proactive Flushing

Warning - Potty tawk. You know when one of the little ones has done his business and deposited half the roll of toilet paper in the bowl before leaving it; because, obviously, it IS unflushable. You walk through and it is coiling up out of the bowl like a white cobra, ready to strike. Here's a trick my mother taught me...take the plunger and use it to move the excess paper up against the side of the bowl; leaving in the water only enough to successfully flush, and then flush. Once the bowl is filled again, let down more and flush again. This way you can avoiding facing your own childhood fears, as you stand there, white-knuckled grip on that plunger, watching the water level rise, rise, rise. So, don't let those toilet cobras rattle you -- be proactive, Mom!
