How can I rescue a plastic tube flushed down the toilet?

While changing the toilet paper my daughter accidentally flushed down the toilet the inner rod that goes through the cardboard tube to keep the roll in the holder. Unfortunately it’s large enough to cause a blockage so I need to get it out. It’s also made of hollow plastic, and will float – so the fact that I can’t see it means it is at least on the other side of the U-bend. A wire hook won’t help, there’s nothing to hook on to. How can I get it out?

Answer:

SWIMMING LESSONS!
Put a mask and snorkel on and dive in to try and find it.
Take the whole toilet off the floor and turn it upside down. OR .............raise your arm above your head, shake your hand from side to side, and wave good bye !!
Wet vac! Or else it's gone!
