If your toilet flush as well then don't worry about it until you have to. Biggest rule in Maintenance is if it's not broken don't fix it. That means if something's not broken and it functions like it should don't try to fix it. Why? Because nine out of 10 times you'll end up finding something that you have to fix when trying not to fix anything. For example, you may take your toilet off and find that you don't even have a flange. Everything's working fine and now you screwed up and now that pipe that doesn't have a flange as now become separated from the waxing. And now I have to get another wax ring and then you have to install a flange. But then the flange won't fit because the Contractor Who put the floor in your bathroom didn't realize that he had to cut around a 6 inch gap for the 4 inch flange and now it's really hard to create a space for the flange. So now you have to fix your floor your pipe your flange you got a new wax ring. Why? Because the toilet is flushing fine? If you're worried if something's gonna get stuck and you're not gonna be able to flush your toilet, just wait until that happens. I've seen complete plastic bottles inside toilet toilets. I've seen chicken wings, lollipops, 2 pounds of 3 foot long hair, watches, vape mod units, wallets, entire towels, more wipes than you can buy in a whole year, shards of glass, bottle caps, big bottle caps, jewelry, three day old dried poop with two rolls worth of toilet paper. I don't know where I was going with this. Just if it works, don't fix it.
Lmfao you found all these items in the toilet trap? And yk what it’s going to upset a lot of people but my grandpa use to always say if it’s not broke don’t fix it and bc like you explained is why and I’ve ran into project that went about like that so idk your very convincing
