what everyone else said.
if flange is flush with floor or below: 2 wax rings or jumbo ring
if flange is sitting on finished floor, regular ring; and rubber should work in this situation
but wax is tried and true. rubber is tried and fails

OP might not be coming off as so retarded if wax rings were more expensive or something

But he's just gonna denial himself into black mold and a brain infection while spending *more* money per ring

How is wax supposed to be better after it gets smashed down and customers rock their fat asses back and forth until it leaks? Rubber is elastic.

Rubber doesn't perfectly deform to fill the void

Keep being a tard though I guess
