Tampon Plumbing

Scenario: A bathroom sink that won't drain, no ability to move the pipes, no way to see what the problem is because of the mucky water in the drain.

Solution: After putting the bathroom sink on full restriction for a week the full water basin finally drained to reveal a drain pipe that was still full of water. It was deep enough that paper towels would rip if put down there, but small enough that a washcloth or rag wouldn't fit. What were we to do? After a quick brainstorm I realized that we had just emptied out the PERFECT solution from underneath the sink. Ladies, gentlemen, I give you tampon plumbing.

Contents: Tampons + Wire hanger = a plumbing solution that even MacGyver would applaud! And by the way? It worked.
