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

This is primarily going to be a rant about how I ordered this on December 9th as a prime item for a Christmas gift and it wasn’t even shipped until the 22nd- and didn’t get to me until yesterday, which was two days AFTER CHRISTMAS. There’s no way for me to contact them directly to complain about it so this is the best I can do. The product itself is fine. I have one already and I love it and I’m sure this one, as a gift, will be just fine also. If you want one then just plan on waiting a month for it when you order it. Beyond upset about it and will 100% NOT be continuing my Amazon Prime membership when it runs out, since my whole deal is for the two day shipping and that seems to be practically non-existent.

Doctor recommended I try using a Squatty Potty, but I was hesitant about buying one because I didnt want an ugly white plastic thing by my toilet. I got this pretty bamboo one and it works great. I am amazed by how well it works for me. I got another one for the second bathroom as well! The 9 inch side would probably be for kids. I recommend this to everyone who poops!

This is something I never knew I needed until I used it one day at a relatives house. Ever since then I dreamed about purchasing it myself one day. Now that it is finally in my grasp I shall never let it go because the comfort is just that good. You will not regret this purchase.

I have the plastic one and love it. I wanted something more aesthetic for my rv so bought the bamboo. I dont like it. Its got a slant to it that is very uncomfortable for my ankles and legs. I wish it was flat like the plastic. It was a tiny bit tricky to put together, all in all I wouldnt recommend this one.

Fits perfectly around the base of the toilet for easy “storage”. Makes BMs so easy.

I read the reviews that talk about how shaky the unit is, but I suspect its because the screws either didnt go in all the way or on an angle. This was my solution: Youll need a pair of plyers that are comfortable to hold (i.e. padded handle) and either a padded mallet or a thick cloth. First off with the allen wrench that comes with it and the plyers to turn it, screw one of the screws into each hole about 2/3 of the way down. It will be very tight so do it slowly and then slowly unscrew it. This will open up the very tight. Once youve done this with each hole, then follow the instruction and attached each side. Once its assembled, press the screw covers over each screw head. If they dont fit tightly, then either use a soft mallet to gently pound it into place, or the end of the padded plyers or put cloth over the each one and gently use a small hammer to press it down.

I found the fit and finish of the Bamboo FLIP Squatty Potty unit that I received mid-October 2019 to be good, and the assembly to be easy. The four major pieces were reasonably smooth with a bit more roughness on the edges of the two larger sides where they fit together once assembled. I did not encounter any problems with splinters. The screws supplied were adequate for the task of screwing the sides together; they were not high-grade fasteners however. The supplied hex-key wrench was also adequate but not high-grade. None of the fasteners required excessive torque; the two on the right-hand side of the taller platform side did require more torque than any of the others but it was still manageable with the supplied hex key wrench (using the longer side of the wrench to turn the shorter sides head inserted into the top of the fasteners). All of the holes for the fasteners lined up correctly. I followed the standard practice of only torquing the fasteners loosely until all were in place, and then performing a final tightening to finish putting the fasteners in their final positions. Once assembled, the Squatty Potty unit was sturdy enough for its intended purpose. There is a sticker on one of the sides (that is inside the assembled unit) warning against using the unit as a standing platform (stool), and it would clearly NOT be suitable as a standing platform based on the lack of support on all sides and the slope of the sides. It is more than adequate for the purpose of supporting ones feet and legs as indicated for the purpose of altering ones body posture while seated on a standard US plumbing fixture toilet. The short side varies in height from 6.5 inches to slightly over 7.75 inches. The tall side varies in height from 8 inches to just over 9 inches. The included instructions indicate that the correct position is with the platform surface sloping down away from the plumbing fixture (highest point closest to the plumbing fixture).

Easy to assemble. Sturdy

Buy it you. You never knew you never knew you never knewwwwww your colon was plugged. A whole new world of intestinal pipes. I’ve never felt so empty in my life. I can never go back to life before the squatty potty. Is this the answer to global violence? Maybe. Is it the answer to your hemroids ? Yes.

Easy to put together, looks nicer than the plastic versions. Exactly as expected.
