Squatty Potty The Original Bathroom Toilet Stool, 9 inch Height, White, (Pack of Two)

I never knew I've been doing it wrong all along. I read about the squatty potty and bought one out of curiosity. When it arrived I was a bit skeptical and my husband was making fun of it (and me) saying it was another thing I bought that was a. overpriced b. I would use once and never use again.I set it up in our bathroom and when I finally tried it…. WOW. There really are no words.I raised my legs up in the most awkward position and the whole time behind closed doors I was narrating it to my husband "oh dear I feel like I'm about to give birth""you have to be naked coz the undies will be ruined if you try to stretch it""if you open that door you might leave me"Were my first statements. And then…. IT happened.IT was so surprising and easy that I didn't initially understand. It was the easiest bowel movement ever. And it went on FOREVER. Sorry for the TMI (too much info) but the best image I can come up with is a sausage making machine . I guess there was radio silence for a while as my husband knocked on the door and asked if I was alright.I was better than alright. Very few moments in your life happen when at that very moment you know things will NEVER be the same again. This was one of them. The squatty potty has changed my life forever. I felt like the brownies I ate when I was a child was flushed right out of me. In a way, it really was like giving birth.I went inside the room grumpy, constipated and used to the goat like marbles that would come out after much effort and came out a new woman. Smiling refreshed and about 10 pounds lighter.My ever so skeptical husband could not believe it. So when it was his turn I could hear him complaining about how stupid it felt and he looked etc etc…. and then …. SILENCE…. And yes!!!! Victory!!!! He came out smiling and my normally non verbal husband described it perfectly " you know the feeling of a really good dump? multiply that by 10"I have been GUSHING about the squatty potty since then. I know my other family members and friends find it odd that I would actually talk about something so nasty but really…. it has made potty time a pleasure. And because I'm flushing out all the toxins I feel great, my skin looks so much better, and the discomfort of being plugged up is gone.Really, I say this with all sincerity. BUY IT, TRY IT , AND LOVE IT.

Although we have only just received our squatty potty and have therefore only been able to use it a couple times so far my husband and I have both noticed and appreciate the need for such a tool in the bathroom. After hearing my sister and parents brag about how much they love their squatty potty's we decided we could no longer wait and had to get one of our own. The reason for taking off one star is because we purchased the 9" stool and it is too high for both my husband and myself. Our knees are elevated so high that we are forced into a leaned back position and are unable to get into the optimal "squat". We will be donating our 9" stool to the guest bathroom and purchasing a 7" stool for ours. It would be helpful for there to be a size chart that tells what size stool to get based on height (for ex. if you are 5'8" and taller get the 7" or if your legs measure 34" from foot to hip go for the 9"...you get the idea). This however is our only complaint, otherwise it's great and my husband has been regaling me with stories of his frozen yogurt poops.

This potty stool is the best thing ever. I originally bought it to assist my daughter as she potty trains. So that she can conveniently sit on the toilet. Well, it really does what it says. I think I love this thing more than my daughter. We have had this item for over 5 years now. I just came back to order another set because I just moved to a new house with more bathrooms. I need one in each bathroom. It really really makes going too simple.

Doing my business has not been pleasant. Rocking and waiting for it's arrival becomes a reward of relief of, "yeah it happened" to my pleasure when the urge comes knocking I place my feet upon the stool and it is like, hands up at the top of a roller coaster and down we go...before I know it I am at the gate getting off the ride. Unbelievably immediately working the first sit down.. Not to be to graphic, but to explain that my condition has never been normal, more to the impacted state...this position allowed my colon to open and flush which used to stack up and cause my tummy to bloat. My tummy is now showing a more flat appearance and is not hard as it used to be. I must add... I did not get any discount for my comments or gratitude for this positive response..this is just my opinion and true comments.

It looks really funny when it is your first time to use this potty. We are accustomed to see toddlers using this one as to teach them how to poop properly. Eventually we get to our own ways of trying to use the bathroom. Some in a form weird than we can imagine but the question is, is that the correct position to do so? There are reasons why we are always suggested to have a proper positioning of our body when doing something like walking, running, sleeping etc. And that reason is because it will help our body to adapt to it and properly provide our body the proper means of doing it. That is what I felt when I started using it. I realized how important proper sitting in the rim of the toilet is. Not only it will properly structure your body (which greatly affect our backbone and hip bone) but also will help your stomach in release an amount of waste that your body should be releasing.

My daughter has used the Squatty Potty for almost two years. In her home, I could not understand how it could be comfortable. Then I had to move my 98 year old grandma in to live with and found that I had to install elevated toilet seats. Being 65", I could barely touch the floor. That's why I also needed the 9" height rather than 7". After reading on the idea of how this toilet aide works with the body, I understood it's purpose. Maybe the design of toilets should be reconsidered because this devise definitely helps to make elimination easier. Just wish grandma didn't have dementia and could remember to use it for herself. She truly could have used this many years ago to avoid the large hemorrhoids she has now.

Very happy with this purchase! Received them quickly and paid less per item in the bundle than buying singularly. Went with the 9" as the 7" seemed too low especially for my small boys. Though works great for adults as well. Used small folder stools from Dollar store before buying as testers to see if the claims held up at all and was pleasantly surprised. These being sturdier and better looking (have broken a number of the fold up stools!) I couldnt be happier with the purchase (other than being free!). Would highly recommend.

We love the squatty potty. This review is for the 2-pack specifically. We received a 2-pack and failed to notice that one of the feet was missing from one of the squatties (can I call it that? well I just did.)The problem is that you can’t exchange just one and it feels silly to send back both, especially after one was used. So caveat emptor and check the potties for the rubber feet when you get them in a 2-pack.

Every day when I sit upon my throne with this finely crafted device beneath my feet I smile and laugh reminiscing about all the years of booty blockage I endured to get to where I sit today.. and I can't help but shed a tear thinking of all of my comrades suffering silently in their own bathroom battles day in and day out.But then I am quickly brought back to reality as not a rumbling freight train - but a smooth highspeed maglev glides out of me in that indescribable way where you just know no cars were left behind on the tracks.I savour this moment of peace briefly before tearing off a single square because I know that's all I'll need. Wipe. Flush. High fives all around. Done.

Way too big and in the way. Does not fit our toilet since it sticks out when we want to put it away. It was not clear in the product description that the original sqatty potty had 2 sizes. I got the 9" set of 2. The vendor is Amazon.ca. It now says "no return possible" which is not mentioned in the description before you buy it.If only I could exchange it for a foldable one or at least a set of 7" but I cannot get through to Amazon.I called Sqatty Potty directly and they say that Amazon in the USA contrary to Canada lets you exchange or return. Poor customer service on the part of Amazon !

Bought this based on a recommendation from a friend. It tucks away really well and is unobtrusive in the bathroom. I am using it since 4 years and still works well and durable.
