Squatty Potty earns emphatic reviews as an effective, ergonomically designed stool that eases elimination, improves posture, and becomes indispensable for many users, including those with IBS or constipation. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the plastic look can be unattractive, it can be bulky or noisy and easy to stub into, fit and form vary by model, and results aren’t universal.

  • Best squat ever! I wish I could take mine everywhere. One squat is all it took for me to become a believe in the product, and I never want to go without it. I haven't tried the portable squatty potty, but that's next on my list.

  • The Squatty Pitty is really great for me since I am actually fairly short and in my rented apartment my toilet is very tall. When I sit my feet are reaching for the floor with the Squatty Potty I am able to sit in a more comfortable position which helps during bathroom use. I know the plastic may not be everyone’s favorite but it makes it easy to clean.

  • It's not something I currently use, but I absolutely got my money's worth from this product. It was a lifesaver while pregnant and then I kept it around as a step stool for potty training.

  • The item I can’t live without. I keep one in every bathroom and love how they have different styles to match your aesthetic. As someone with a bad stomach I highly recommend this product. The angle and height that your feet are at definitely help going to the bathroom.

  • This is a game changer!! For someone who has never been regular in my life, constipated always… this works like magic!

  • My partner randomly purchased a squatty potty while on the hunt for a happier potty experience if you know what I mean. He was a changed man, I was not so convinced - I think the success of the squatty potty ultimately depends on the person and I'm happy for all the folks that say they changed their life. My main issue with the squatty potty is how it simply takes up space in the bathroom. I'd walk into it late at night and rag it across the floor making a loud plastic reverb and it was always so dusty - I left it as his responsibility cause it was his thing but seriously, I wished he would put it away. I see now that they have a fold up version - perhaps that would have been a way better experience but alas - I am no longer with that man.

  • I love the concept of these stools and think Squatty Potty really changed the game when they created this product. Getting my knees/legs closer to the fetal position really does help make pooping easier. However if the idea is simply to get your body in that position, I think paying for the brand name is not worth it as any short stool will work fine. Squatty Potty is nice because it conforms around the toilet and it is more functional to store in the bathroom then any stool you have but to me the cost just isn't worth it.

  • I had our white plastic Squatty Potty for YEARS and honestly loved it. The plastic felt a bit dated, so we recently updated it to a foldable wood they sell that's a bit smaller too. We love our Squatty Potty and say it's a must-have!

  • I used this at a friends house and it was great haha. It actually worked really well. I was impressed. Would I buy this for myself? No. I could just use my legs and hold them up

  • Such a game changer with… really puts your body in the right position.

  • I literally travel with my squatty potty. I cannot live without it.

  • A must-have in every household, period. I genuinely get upset now if I have to use a toilet that does not have a squatty potty and I am not joking when I say I have considered buying one for our work bathroom.

  • I forgot I own one of these. I purchased it when I was pregnant to make things easier I like that it folded up and doesn’t take up lots of space. Product works as advertised not much to explain lol

  • A game-changer for health and comfort. Encourages healthier posture for easier elimination. Surprisingly effective, discreet, and easy to use. You'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner!

  • I wish it were mandatory to build these into toilets. Everyone - EVERYONE - should use these! Our bodies were not designed to have a bowel movement with our thighs at a 90 degree angle.
