It's possible to block it with toilet paper alone, and it achieves

useless.

I've just spent 4 days in a brand new hospital, nice loos, no rim to
hide germs under, not a very effective flush though and no dual action
that I could detect.

Now bearing in mind I was on IV antibiotics and the effect that
antibiotics have on ones gut a single flush would rarely clear all the
paper and nearly always left coloured water... Oh and invariably water
splashed out of the bowl onto the floor during the flush, very
hygienic. Still they did come round an wet mop the room floor and
seperately wet mop the bathroom floor every day.

I'm still on 4 times the normal dose of broad spectrum antibiotics and
we have a septic tank, the thought had crossed my mind on any possible
effects but I figured that they will have been metabolised and
rendered harmless by the time they leave my body.
