A device for removing an obstruction from a pipe or toilet generally includes a handle portion and a flexible head portion having a plurality of grooves. The flexible head portion is configured for insertion into a pipe. The flexible head portion is configured by shape and/or size to allow water from the pipe or toilet to move over the flexible head portion between the flexible head portion and the pipe or drain wall while the plunger is manipulated in the pipe or toilet. Using the handle portion, the flexible head portion can be moved along the inner wall of the pipe to move a column of liquid to effect the removal of the obstruction. If the intervals between the grooves are in contact with the pipe wall, water may still pass between the flexible head portion and the pipe through the grooves. A storage case for the device is provided.
