Better? Yes, by far.

Fernco waxless toilet seal. Use one once, you'll never go back to the
wax ones again. Even movement of the stool won't break the seal as it
is flexible.

Well why else would you sit on the crapper?

Thanks!
It looks like this type of seal narrows the pipe's inside diameter somewhat.
If added to a 3-inch drain, would it restrict the flow too much?

That I don't know. I wouldn't think so though as anything that will
pass the toilet trap _should_ be smaller than the restriction.
