My toilet leaks a little bit when I take a shower. It leaks out of the base onto the floor. I changed the wax ring and cleaned out the top of the hole that I could get to. Obviously don't know much about what I was doing. I'm a girl and have done everything at my house myself so far but am not sure where to go with this one. :confused:

Thanks!

Sounds like if you take the toilet up, leave it up, and run the shower, you'll find water rising in the toilet's drain -- i.e., it ain't the toilet's fault. Possibly the wax ring isn't sealing for some reason; how thick/thin was the old ring when you pulled the toilet?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
