We loved ours so much that we made a radical change to our master bath. We realized that if the squatty potty could make that much difference, how much better it could be if you were actually squatting. My DH initially tried squatting on the seat but it proved too hard to balance. We called a brilliant plumber who was able to remove our toilet and then retrofit our bathroom so that there is literally a hole to squat over. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve never felt so de-toxified since we did this. Do you know how much waste you are carrying inside you? Humans are designed to squat. Squatty Potty gives you a taste of what it’s like but there’s nothing like the real thing. We also added a bidet.

That is why I got rid of mine. My kid kept kicking it over (and not picking it up) and it was making me rage.

We had one briefly (my husband picked it up at a White Elephant exchange) and we got rid of it because even though it was "flush" against the bottom of the toilet when not in use, it was always getting in the way. I swear, somehow I managed to kick it every time I sat down to pee.

If I'm at a hotel or somewhere like that I've been known to turn the trash can on its side and use it like a stool. It makes a big difference for me but I suffer from occasional constipation and easily get hemorrhoids if I strain.

I do this too. My body is used to going with my legs elevated/squatting now.

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.

Got it, so they had one extra thought about pooping. I get that you just wouldn’t want to go there.

Correct.

Most likely, you don’t have issues. About half of my kids do, half don’t. Count yourself lucky.

I do count myself lucky now that I use the Squatty Potty. And yes, one of my kids was on Miralax and daily medication (prescribed by her nephrologist and urologists) for years. Then she had surgery, now she uses the SP. Trust me I've done my research.

Then your comment doesn’t make any sense that people who purchased it “think way more about pooping than you ever want to”. It’s sounds like 1) you have purchased it and 2) spent a lot of time dealing with your kids poop. Your comment doesn’t make a bit of sense.

Those two comments were written by two different people. Obviously. I wrote the first and have not purchased any pooping accoutrements, save for the requisite toilet paper.

I think its great. I just bought off Amazon that folds so I can tuck it away if necessary.

It makes pooping easier with less strain. What part doesn't make sense.
