Default "Draino" for toilets?

OR YOU JUST HAVE A POORLY MADE TOILET........
I have one of these. I snaked it, removed it and carefully checked
everything. The damn thing still needs to be plunged at least 5 times
a week. I have been meaning to replace it for a couple years, but its
one of those things you just put off and off, and you plunge and
plunge and cus.... One of these days I will find a sale on a good
toilet and probably do the job. Till then, I get lots of practice
using a plunger. It also helps to flush after doing your job, and
before you drop in any paper, and flush again after each additional
paper added to it. In the end, you use more water on these water
saving toilets..... Come to think of it, I'd like to find a good used
toilet from the 60's. Before they started forcing us to use these
annoying water saving things that never flush as well as the old ones.

You probably have an object in there that drano will not dislodge. It
may be better to remove the toilet and remove the
obstruction-----toothbrush, childs small toy, tampon, anything. I
owned rental properties once( yes I know..what was I thinking) and this
woman had all kinds of things lodged in there...all of the above and
then some. Good Luck !

Is there a "Draino" type unclogger for toilets? My toilet seems to get

use to help this situation (other than a snake)?
