Default Need Plumbing Help/Advice

7 years with kids and I'm amazed this is the first time I'm posting this thread.
The Mrs accidentally flushed her deodorant stick down the toilet.
It's cylindrical, about 1.5" in diameter and about 4" long.
I took out the toilet, and snaked inside from both ends. I'm guessing that it's not stuck in the trap, but am not 100% sure and have no idea what size normal traps are or what size a solid item has to be to be stuck there.
Toilet (with new wax ring) is back on. I tried a few flushes with varying amounts of toilet paper. All went through.

Is there anything else I'm missing or should be worried about?

Deodorant? The mushy part or the case too?

Regardless, if it made it through the trap you're likely fine as that's the most narrow part of its journey.

Had something similar happen. Did the same things you have done. Toilet wouldnt flush very well after so I ended up replacing the toilet. When i took the old one out, I wanted to see if it was stuck in the trap inside the toilet (and I like smashing things). It was there. It was the toilet paper roll holder spindle. Stupid kids.

There's only 3 things to know about plumbing and the one that applies to you is #### rolls downhill. Sounds like you're all good.
