The Squatty Potty - A review

Recommended Posts

So I had made mention of purchasing a Squatty Potty in another thread. Enough of you gentlemen also poop, so you were curious as to what my thoughts were on it.

 

So first off I picked up this one:

 

Squatty Potty 7"

 

They come in the 7" or 9" tall versions. As I'm not super bendy, also after reading reviews that the 9" is probably more for kids, I chose the 7" model.

 

It came yesterday, and it's pretty big. I don't know why I thought it would be smaller, but it's not really obtrusively big, just bigger than I imagined. I think if you'd have bought it at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond and got a chance to see it before purchase, it wouldn't have been a problem. I wasn't a deal breaker though and tucked nicely under the front of the toilet.

 

1st experience:

 

So this morning was my first chance to use it. It was before a shower, so's I was neked, and I haven't had a chance to try it with the pants around the ankles yet.

 

I started by putting at a reasonable distance from the toilet and stood up on it. Then sat down. It wasn't really unnatural feeling at all, but rather it relaxed my abs. I've read reviews were people said it was hard to maintain that angle with their legs and that it put to much pressure on their ass, as a much smaller ass area was touching the seat than normal. I'd say that was horsesh!t. I had no problem at all maintaining the seating and it wasn't at all uncomfortable.

 

It was time to get down to business. :bandana:

 

Now normally I'm not a big "grunter" and don't need to push hard on my guts to go. But this was a little... well weird. So you let your spinct muscle go like normal... and it was crazy... sorta like just like soft served on out. I sh!t you not, like the rainbow icecream coming out of the unicorn. It didn't like shoot/blast out or anything... just a quick steady.... flow and bango.... done. :huh:

 

Obviously this was a first attempt, but I'm telling you, it really worked like it said. I'll have to see if there's a difference, if my all dehydrated or after a huge meal. But... so far so good. I'm optimistic my pooping is going to be first rate from now on! :thumbsup:

 

I'll update over the next week or two, but I'd say if your on the fence, take a "shot" with this thing. :cheers:

How does it tuck under the front of the toilet? I am trying to visualize this. The front of the toilet is the bowl, right?

Really? $38 for a stool? Why not just make a 7" one yourself?

It's like in a upside down U shape. So it just slides under the bowl, U opening down.

I can vouch that it works well. I'm not retarded, so I just took a little box and put my feet on it just to see what all the fuss was about. It was a much smoother experience. Now I just take a little basket I use to hold rolls of TP, and prop my feet up

My 7 year old thought it was the funniest thing ever when I said it was so daddy could poop like a rocket! :lol:

 

Wife is used to me going off on goofy tangents on the flavor of the week. Called this one rediciloise, but I bet she tries it out. It's in "our" bathroom in the master anyway.

Question: did you have to go when you used it, or was it your normal morning routine? Basically, I shat in the morning, but sometimes it takes awhile. If this thing is automatic, I'm focking get one and shaving 20 minutes off my morning.

Routine before a shower. I try to have a clean ass on the way to work, so it behooves me to shower after. This morning I didn't nessicerily feel the need to go, but figured I could if I tried. It was much easier then in the past when your just trying to make sure the tanks on E.

Fairly quickly... now I'm not saying it was unstoppable, it was just "happening" before u know it.

This is textbook case of marketing genius. Catchy name, everyday application and brilliant advertising. Add it all up and you can seel a cheap piece of plastic for $25 and absolutely clean up. Brilliance. Theres a $20 knock off sold online but ill be damned if I can find it again with google. Plus they have been selling toilet stools for years. But all I see in searches is squatty pottys. Has to be dirt cheap overhead to produce this thing and they are selling a boatload.

Yea that was a great stepping stone for them. I wonder how many people watch that show and scramble to patent similar products in case they take off. That has to be a thing right?

A friend of mine was telling me he just bought one of these as well,best sh!t ever he said.Also said it was great because humans like animals are meant to squat when doing our business and that his doc was all for it in helping with colon issues and the like.

Just rip out your toilet and squat over the hole.

 

Asians figured this out like 5000 years ago.

My apartment has a western throne, thank god.

 

I want to get one of those bedside potties for old people and throw the bowl away to put in the toilet at work. Fock squatting. Yeah, it works better, but it's undignified, and I can't read on the sh!tter at work, which used to be a good thing.

 

Oh, and they miss the hole constantly by the way, and leave their focking cow patty there on the porcelain bowl part to harden and stink the focking place up all day. They can't be bothered to hold the flusher down until it washes away.

Last night I wanted to see of there was something to this whole squatty potty thing so I attempted to recreate it with items I had on hand. I couldn't find a small stool but I had a of couple milk crates lying around so I grabbed them and put one on either side of the toilet and sat down. I think they were too tall and the way it made my body contort I almost got stuck in the squat position as my legs were too high and I couldn't move. I would not recommend milk crates.

I dont understand what the point of this device is.

It puts your body in its natural position to poop. So you poop easier and faster. It's a poop enabler.
