I have tried a plunger -
seems more suited to a sink drain though,
as I don't think it seals on the loo.

Toilet plungers have a big flat rubber sheet about 8 inches diameter

Late one Christmas Eve I discovered a similar blockage. Forced
to improvise, I screwed the rubber backing pad for my sanding
disk onto the end of a broomstick. A few vigorous pumps later,
all was well.
