Default Alternative to flapper in toilet tank?

I'm getting very tired of constantly replacing the rubber flappers on our
three toilets. I've tried different suppliers and grades, but after a few
months they seem to distort and start leaking.

I know that there is no buildup on the flapper, or the hole where it seats.
The pull chain isn't snagging and holding up flapper. Why would I get leaks
after a few months?

Anyhow, I'm looking for an alternative for the flapper on my toilets.
Something that will last a good while before needing any kind of repairs.
Any idea on what I could use?

Three toilets with the same problem?...........Try fixing the problem
the right way. Buy quality flappers and do not use any chemicals in
the tank.

Here is a good flapper that will last forever
