Just squat on the toilet seat. I don't know anyone who thinks it's life-changing to own a Squatty Potty -- just a bunch of PR people saying that. If you have a problem pooping, change your diet.

Yes, this. Most people do not get enough fiber in their diet.

Is there a faucet near the hole to help flush it down and for cleaning?

Can you explain what you mean by squat on the seat? I have really short legs, so the SP is necessary or else my feet are dangling when my butt is on the toilet, and I can't squat while I'm up there. Or are you suggesting to put the feet on the toilet seat and squat that way? I'm sure I'd manage to slip off. I can't imagine explaining how I injured myself doing that. I guess you'd need to remove your shoes and socks?

I've had SP maybe 10 years. I don't use it every time.

But it does for sure help get everything out. No having a small turd 30 minutes later.

I usually eat a lot of vegetables and meat for dinner, not much starch.

Coffee + V8 +SP in the morning = turbo-dump.

I bought a squatty potty while recovering from a thrombosed hemorrhoid and desperate for anything to make pooping less painful. It didn't really improve matters for me because I tend to be the opposite of constipated, so I got rid of it when I moved. Later, I experienced some pretty bad constipation for a couple days while pregnant and wished I had kept it!

DH suffers from constipation, takes him half an hour sometimes. Maybe I'll get him a squatty potty for xmas . When we traveled, he did say he found squatting over a hole in the ground to be very effective.

That’s rude. It has a flushing mechanism, a cover, and is completely sanitary. Good luck with your colon issues in the future.

Why would you slip off and injure yourself? Are you drunk? Squatty Potty's PR gets more and more desperate with each post.

Squatty Potty is a MILLION times better than a little wooden stool, trust me.

Those who are telling you there's no difference, obviously don't own a squatty potty.

The inventors of the squatty potty did years and years of focus groups & research, they tried getting the toilet industry to actually correct the height of toilets, since the height they are now is NOT conducive to having a bowel movement.

The squatty potty has a specific place for you to put both heels, which is the exact width apart & height from the floor that will give you the most success in the shortest amount of time.

I'm telling you, my life was CHANGED when my mother bought me mine -- I thought she was being silly, because I too thought a stool is a stool... not true!
Stools are for sitting or for standing on, not for placing BOTH feet upon to adjust the rectal canal at the optimal angle.

Can the squatty potty really help with weight loss?

We bought a fancy one that looks better aesthetically and everyone who uses it says it’s a game changer.

Don’t even waste money on an IKEA stool. Grab a couple stacks of books or magazines and use those to test it out.

I have two of them, in different bathrooms. I no longer use it because I found that it didn't hep.

What helped me was not shortening my intestines by leaning forward. I lean back a bit, and it makes things coming out easier.
