If you are enough of a handyman, you can remove the toilet from the floor yourself and remove the roller. I once had to do this to remove a small hairbrush that one of my kids flushed down the commode that got stuck in the bend of the toilet.

To do so, you will need to:

1) buy a new wax seal to replace the one currently installed at the base of the toilet that creates a seal between the toilet and the floor - you won't see the seal until you lift the toilet off the floor - you will also need to buy replacement bolts to replace the bolts that are currently holding the toilet to the flange in the floor

2) scoop the water out of the tank on the back of the toilet. Use towels or rags to soak up what you can't scoop out. Place the tank lid somewhere away from the toilet where it won't be in the way and won't get broken

3) do the same with the toilet bowl

4) put on some gloves - the next few steps are messy

5) put lots of towels or rags down around the base of the toilet to soak up the liquid that is still in the toilet that you couldn't scoop out

6) pry off the rounded plastic caps on the base of the toilet that cover the ends of the bolts that hold the toilet to the flange

7) remove the nuts from bolts if possible. If you can't unscrew them because they are so corroded, use a hacksaw to cut through the bolt below the nuts to remove them.

8) lift the toilet off the floor and place it on its side

9) dig around in the opening in the bottom of the toilet until you get the stuck item removed - and try not to gag too bad

10) remove the old wax seal that was sealing between the toilet and the floor

11) replace the bolts in the flange that is sticking out of the floor that the toilet sits on

12) put the new wax seal on the flange

13) replace the toilet

14) secure the toilet to the flange again by tightening the nuts on the bolts

15) replace the plastic caps over the bolts (assuming you haven't lost them)

16) put the lid back on the tank

17) flush the toilet a few times to make sure it works and that you have a good seal at the base - if you messed up with the seal on the base - pull the toilet up again and try again - possibly with yet another new wax seal.

Back in the day when my toilet paper holder broke, I used a piece wire to insert into the paper roll and attached it to the sides of the toilet paper holder. This was a free, quick and easy way to keep using the holder and not spend any money.

How do you use toilet paper?

The advantages of toilet paper are that it is easy and intuitive to use, fairly absorbent, and it can be flushed in most countries where toilet paper is common. Most modern sewage systems, including septic tanks, can accept toilet paper along with human excreta. In many instances, used toilet paper is placed in a tin or dustbin next to the toilet if the plumbing or septic system cannot cope with toilet paper. Misplacing the soiled paper can be a serious faux pas, regardless of culture.To use a toilet paper:Buy a roll of toilet paper from any super market.Put it on the holder so that the loose end hangs from the back side.After finishing the business begin to unroll the product. For this take the edge and pull.Tear about five to six squares.Use the sheets to wipe, dry and polish.Don't rub the toilet paper too hard.Flush the used toilet paper down the toilet.
