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

Use daily. Nice design. Nice finish. Sturdy.

According to my wife, it works like its supposed to.

I have been a fan of the Original Squatty Potty Toilet Stool for years, and I wanted purchase more stools for additional toilets in my home. As much as I liked the Originals functionality, I thought it would look cheap to put a white plastic stool in guest bathrooms, so I did some research. I saw that Squatty Potty also develops a similar product, but instead of plastic, they use bamboo and call it the Bamboo Flip. This is because from a simple flip of the product, the stool can either be 7 or 9 tall from the ground. For typical toilets, a 7 stool works, but if you have higher toilets (or children), the 9 setting would be optimal. When the Bamboo Flip arrived, it came in a box with the necessary tools and hardware to personally assemble it. This called for 8 screws, screw covers, and rubber guards to protect your floors. Installation realistically took about 15-20 minutes to follow the instructions, make sure all of the pieces were in the correct location, and using the tools and hardware to put it all together. I purchased 3 of these stools, and one of them couldnt get assembled properly due to warping of the wood. Keep this in mind! If you assemble your stool, and you see any pieces of wood bending or not fitting together properly, contact Amazon as soon as possible for an exchange or a refund. Overall, the Bamboo Flip from Squatty Potty looks a lot better than the Original Squatty Potty with its cheap white plastic look. It has a lot less surface area for your feet compared to the Original, so keep this in mind. There is also a slight decline on the surface of the stool where your feet sit compared to the flat surface of the Original. I personally like this product, and I would recommend all humans to have some sort of stool in their bathrooms going forward! The Bamboo Flip is less of an eye-sore compared to the Original for guests, but both of them do their jobs well.

Use the toilet as it was intended to be used life changing.

I suffer with severe constipation due to health issues. Yes, I eat high fiber, take a fiber supplement etc. That still doesn’t stop the severe constipation. It gets so bad from the bottom of my ribs to my groin is agony. Not fun. During my latest bout I was desperate. Nothing was working and I was a week into the latest torture session. I decided screw it, I’ll try the squatty potty. Ordered the bamboo version over night. Amazon had it here before noon the same day. Took about 8 minutes to assemble and it’s surprisingly sturdy. When the time came to try again I was armed with my squatty. I was in the bathroom for a little over 5 minutes when I finally got to evacuate my packed intestine. That is a record for me. It’s usually an all day affair when I’m in this situation. Giving up then coming back to try again over and over and over. I’m not gonna tell you I didn’t have to push because I did have to but it was so much easier! Way less pain and took so much less time with the squatty. Just imagine how easy it could make your time on the potty if you don’t have my issue! Only negative I have about the squatty is this… If you don’t properly push it under the front of the toilet you’ll end up kicking it and wrecking your toes. You’ve been warned!

I had major back surgery and was home 5 days later. I walked every day. No bowel movement for 10 days post surgery. I tried everything. MOM, Softeners, suppositories, enemas with no relief. The squatty potty was key as am I not able to bear down due to the surgery. It provided the position that was post surgery acceptable and I was able to go. I have one on each floor restroom and i play it to keep regular for the rest of my life.

For shorties like me with potty issues, it makes doing my business more comfortable. It feels like the most natural sitting position. Doesn’t pull my back and it’s nice to look at. Not so clinical.

Whats not to like about this product?! This thing is amazing. First of all, its easy to put together and very sturdy. Comes in two different heights and easy to switch from one to the other with just a quick rotation. It fits snuggly out of the way when not in use. The best thing about this though is that it has absolutely saved my marriage. My husband used to top out at an hour spent on the toilet pooping . Apparently, this squatty potty is a godsend. It has reduced his pooping time by at least half and now he can spend more time with the family and kids. He keeps talking about the angulation and how he doesnt have to squeeze anymore and I just take his word for that. Either way, this product does his job and makes life easier for me and my husband. Highly recommended!

Easy to assemble. Gets the job done. I like the two height options

I’ve been saving this on my go buy list & finally got it. It was easy to put together. It’s nice & sturdy, feels great. I have no issues doing #2. I like the two height adjustments by positioning the stool differently. I would recommend it.
