Got my new Toto toilet delivered today. Went to the borg to get a wax ring. I find there are about 10 choices. I thought a wax ring was a wax ring... . There are no.1 or no.3 or no. 10. Some have horns. What the heck should I buy? The instructions for the toilet only say 'wax ring'. I have a brand new house, so I know the floors are good, etc . Thanks.
Since the skinny cheap one is -$2.00 and the biggest/fanciest/best-sealing/most expensive one is $6.00, be a big shooter and go for the top ;-)
The wax ring should be about 1/4" higher than the clearance
Forget the wax ring altogether. Go with a "Fernco waxless toilet seal". You'll never go back to using the wax type again. AFAIK there is only one size. I has flex seals that go down inside the drain pipe.

Amen. Best
HI are these what you're talking about? Is one of these for a standard or 'regular" toilet? Thanks,

The only one I could find was from FluidMaster. Found it at HD. It was a two piece thing with some rubber gaskets.
Used one of those when son & I replaced his toilet. WQorked great.

I was always a fan of one that has the funnel on it. To help waste get past the wax ring on its way down.

Found a Fernco no-wax seal at a local plumbing supply house. (go figure) . The thing worked perfectly. The best part was the adhesive on the seal. Stuck in on the toilet horn, then right into the drain. I would HIGHLY recommend the Ferco seal for anyone skiddish about using a wax ring. . Thanks to all for the help.
