If you've just booked your first bikini wax, you're probably wondering what happens next.

Can Choosing The Wrong Size Cause Any Issues?

Yes, if you choose the wrong thickness of the ring size, there can be several issues that you will face with your toilet.

One of the major issues that you will face is the toilet leaking due to the wrong wax size.

When you use a regular wax ring in place of a double-thick wax ring, you will have this issue of leaking. When you use a regular wax ring, it leaves some space from where the toilet starts leaking.

On the other hand, if you try to use a double-thick wax ring in place of a regular one, you won’t be able to fit it in the first place.

So, there is no point in getting a double-thick wax ring where you should be using regular wax rings.
