Don't flush tampoons, baby whips, and anything other than, well, ya know. If a plunger don't work, get a augger, if that don't work find a vent stack or pull the toliet. Or call a plumber. But keeping other items from flushing down the toliet will prevent it from overflowing

It overflows either because the drain is clogged or it is not vented properly. Somethng to try that doesn't cost anything. Get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it 1/2 to 3/4 full of water. Pour it into the bowl as fast as it will take it. Bring the water level to almost over flowing and keep pouring. This is a much larger volume of water than is usual and may help to clear out the line. There may be some issue that this will not help, but it doesn't hurt to try.

2) Empty the bath

3) Mop up the water on the floor.

4) Dry the room out (and perhaps the room below)

You unplug the obstruction you apparently have. Buy a good plunger and start with that.
