How do you clog up a bath tub without using the proper "stopper" , I can't find a part that fits the diameter

I used toilet paper and it worked , however it didn;t last long and I could really go for a long, long bath...anyone know of any un-conventional methods to clog this tiny drain without future clogs and or leakage? I know people will have a lot of good ideas..Thanks and top answer will go to the first person that suggests something that works tonight when I "try" to take a bath....

use a good size wad of saran wrap or plastic wrap and push it into it. Empty grocery bags work also in a pinch. Go to your local hardware store to find the right size real rubber stopper. Even many walgreens carry a large yellow stopper that looks like a flower that fits most any sink or tub.





Don't forget the bubbles!!!

Reply:I have used a plastic butter container lid before, and it works great! You know, like a "parkay" or "country crock" lid?





Start the water running, and hold the lid over the drain, once a little water builds up, press the lid aginst the drain opening-right side up. it will for a suction and will let you get that long bath.

Reply:A little flat piece of rubber about 3" around real thin . I have them around but don't know where. Hard ware stores might be able to help. Maybe plumbing for patching pipe.
Reply:There are silicone stopper design to fit all sizes.





You can find it at Walmart and hardware shop.
Reply:Go buy one of those flat rubber type thingy..not big ..small enough and is very flat ..you can just lay it over the drain before turning on the water..go to any hardware store and look around or ask..
Reply:Get a cork and trim it down to fit. Just be sure to run a wire or some other form of apparatus through it to pull it out!
Reply:A flat piece of plastic or rubber. You may have to hold it in place until you get a little water in the tub to hold it down. (A piece of plastic grocery bag or garbage bag??)





Wal-mart does sell a rubber cover for such use.
Reply:Any thing that will cover the hole and is somewhat flexible. A plastic drink coaster for example. Just hold it down while the tub is filling. Eventually the weight of the water will hold it in place.
