    You could try a wire coat hanger to pull the deodorant stick back to where you can see it.
    If you have a shop vac you could try that.

    Bob wants you to put a hook in it and attempt to fish it out. But wait! If were small enough the tube might of passed on past the toilet. How big was the tube? Here's how to find out if it's passed.
    Take a BIG wad of toilet paper and flush it down. Do this at least three times. If there's anything caught up down there it will hang the paper up and start to over flow. If it doesn't chances are you're OK. Let me know how you make out. Good luck, Tom

    Yes Before I Flushed A Couple Times Now I Don't Know Where It Went! I Can't feel it or Anything! Should I be worried Or can this cause problems in the future?

    If it has passed into the drain pipe it shouldn't cause a problem.

    If it doesn't cause problems now and you flushed a load of TP down with no backup I think it went on through. Ya lucked out. Tom
