Squatty Potty The Original Toilet Stool - Bamboo Flip, 7 & 9 Height, Brown

It has 4 way to use it all you have to do is turn the u to the toilet or away from and the height you want. So shocked that it work so well! Who knew?!

I have toyed with getting one of these for a long time and when I saw the bamboo rather than the rigid plastic I went for it. Great choice. I am short so it is a little awkward, but has already made a difference after 2 movements. 8-)

Good, but the assemble was annoying. I definitely prefer the original.

I had major back surgery and was home 5 days later. I walked every day. No bowel movement for 10 days post surgery. I tried everything. MOM, Softeners, suppositories, enemas with no relief. The squatty potty was key as am I not able to bear down due to the surgery. It provided the position that was post surgery acceptable and I was able to go. I have one on each floor restroom and i play it to keep regular for the rest of my life.

I had heard of these for a long time and liked the look of bamboo so decided to give it try. The first disappointment came when it arrived a flat box of 4 flat boards meaning I was going to have to put this together. It is such a small item, there is no reason this for this other than to save packaging space. It would be much nicer if it were made from one solid piece of wood with no assembly required instead of 4 flat boards. So i get out the instructions, they give you a small wrench and screws and put it together. There are also little plastic coverings for the screws but half of them kept falling off and it looks stupid with some on and some off so i didn’t use them. There are two heights but the tall side is way too high and gives you less space for your feet so not sure who would use it. Even the short height is fairly tall. I would have preferred a more solid single piece of wood that was not as tall. I guess it will take some getting used too. It looks kind of cool when not used so maybe some simply buy it for the look. Since I have just tested it so far and not actually used yet that is all I can say so far. I live in Florida where it is hot and humid and it is in the bathroom so I hope the wood holds up. Maybe the plastic would have been a better option? However I don’t like the look of plastic.

This works very well!

Original: The assembly instructions are god awful. Fine to use I suppose, but the assembly alone makes me hate this. Just get the plastic one, I hear its better Updated: My initial review above was an overreaction to the frustration of assembling the product. Assembly really isnt that bad but the instructions are just so poorly done (quite simple to put together in hindsight that Im shocked its not more clear in the manual). However after using the product for a few days now I am pleased with the purchase. Thanks
