Leaky P Trap

I know I'm no plumber but fer blanks sake why is it so hard to stop the bathroom sink P trap from leaking?

My drain exits the wall rather high, so a one-piece P trap doesn't work.

I have to use the two-piece kind: the piece that goes into the wall and makes a 90 deg bend down, plus the trap that is a U and connects to the tailpiece on the basin.

Anyway, the trap always leaks. I've bought all new pieces, used tape and putty, it always starts leaking after awhile.

Doesn't anyone make a single flexible piece that will make a continuous connection from wall to tailpiece and can be bent like Gumby into a P shape?
