Get a plunger with a horizontal grip

Years ago, I accidentally bought a toilet plunger with a horizontal grip. I'm glad I did because it's so much easier to use. It's also important to get a plunger with a flange for unclogging toilets (as opposed to sinks and showers). This Liquid Plumr Deluxe toilet plunger comes with a horizontal grip and a flange, and a stand. Upgrade your plunger, upgrade your life.
