If the rim jets become clogged by mineral deposits, bacteria, or other debris, it can disrupt the water flow and make your flush less effective. Giving the underside of the rim a thorough scrubbing with vinegar and a toothbrush usually solves this issue.
Check the water level:
This cause by far the most common reason for slow flushing toilets. If the water in the tank is not up to the recommended level, you may have poor flushing power.
If you're dealing with a toilet that won't flush, check to see if something is damaged or broken within the toilet cisterns like you would the fill valve if your toilet is running. Check your lift chain, flush valve, water valve, float ball, and more. If you cannot see anything, you may call a plumber.
There is only one Drano® product recommended for use in slow-running toilets: Drano® Max Build-Up Remover. It contains microorganisms that break down organic matter in pipes that can slow water flow.
Another popular method for unclogging a slow draining toilet is using baking soda and vinegar. Pour one cup of baking soda into the bowl and then pour two and a half the vinegar over it. This mixture will create a bubbling reaction. Let it sit for about 20 minutes before flushing.
One of the most highly regarded toilet models for its flushing power is the TOTO Ultramax II. This toilet features TOTO's Double Cyclone flushing system that uses two nozzles to create a powerful, centrifugal rinsing action.
One- or Two-Piece Toilets
Although plumbers don't have a preference in terms of installation, one-piece models are easier to install in smaller bathrooms. One-piece models are easier to clean as they are lower and have fewer cubbyholes. Two-piece models are often less expensive than one-piece models.
Elongated bowls may also be slightly easier to use for taller adults and may flush with somewhat more force than round toilets.
Many tend to associate lower flow with lower flushing power. Not true. New technology and design advancements, such as pressure-assisted flushers and modifications to bowl contours allow high-efficiency toilets to flush better than first-generation low-flow toilets.
High level cisterns can be said to benefit from improved gravity and greater pressure with the higher cistern helping water flush with more force.
Using too much toilet paper
This is probably the most common reason toilets get clogged — and often the easiest to deal with. If we're honest, most of us are probably guilty of this one.
If the clog still seems to be intact, start over at step 1 and repeat the process a couple of times. For extra-stubborn clogs, you can let the fizz mixture sit overnight or combine this method with plunging.
Cleaning with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar in the bathroom can work really well. To clean your toilet with vinegar, pour a cup of vinegar in the toilet bowl and let sit overnight. The next morning, sprinkle a little baking soda into the bowl, scrub, and then flush clean.
For preventive drain cleaning, you can use Drano® Max Build-Up Remover in drains, toilets and even septic systems. Apply Drano® Max Build-Up Remover overnight or before you go to work, then wait 6 to 8 hours before running warm (not hot) water down treated drains or flushing treated toilets.
The most common causes for a slow-draining toilet are: A clog in the drain line. A blockage between the tank and bowl. Poor or Clogged Venting.
Aside from vinegar and baking soda mixture, applying bleach is one of the easiest and cheapest methods for unclogging a blocked toilet.

Pooping position: Squat/Indian toilet
This aids in better digestion and prevents constipation. Squatting over the toilet ensures better hygiene as there is no direct contact with the toilet seat. The action of squatting also serves as a physical exercise, improving blood circulation and strengthening the leg muscles.
Bidets are primarily used to wash and clean the genitalia, perineum, inner buttocks, and anus. Some bidets have a vertical jet intended to give easy access for washing and rinsing the perineum and anal area.
