If I try one of those little IKEA stools (ha, no pun intended) and I'm not wowed or don't really see a difference, does that mean a Squatty Potty isn't going to be the miracle product for me that it is for some pther people? I ask because people seem to think it changes their lives but I can't really mechanically see the difference. |
There would be no difference. A squat position is a squat position.
I lived in a squatty potty country for years and it's fine. Western toilets are also fine. For me, I don't feel the need for a Squatty Potty, even though we do actually own one. I never see the need to use it. |
Any stool is fine, doesn't need to be the branded one. Mine is a wooden one my carpenter spouse made for me.
I'm a firm believer in it. I've been using one for 5 years or so and couldn't go back. |
Dumb question but how do you tell if it's working for you? |
It's working when you are pooping ice cream cones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q |
Both positions actually work. |
I don’t find it life changing but it helps when I’m having a bit of trouble. |
I get out about 30% more with mine. |
I got one off amazon and love it. |
I'm short so I find the stool works better for me because it's higher up. The squatty potty is nice because you can push it flush against the bottom of the toilet and pull it out when you are ready. The stool I have to fold to put away. |
Our squatty potty was purchased as a joke. It's not a joke now. It's life changing. I love it. We all love it and the kids (teens) will purposefully use my bathroom just for the ease of squatty potty. |
Every time I see one of these, I just think that the people who purchased it think about pooping waaay more than I ever want to. |
Everyone poops my friend. The lucky ones (and the ones with a SP) only go once a day, without issue. The rest of the populous is not so lucky. |
What? We think about pooping the same amount of time as you. When we have to poop. This is taking “my sh** doesn’t stink” to the next level. Not even the THOUGHT of poop soils my mind!! |
Well, no. Because you were like "how can I optimize my shits? I know, I'll buy a Squatty Potty!" I have never considered optimizing my shits, which I fully admit stink. |
