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.

  • I have a squatty potty at home, I take the travel size with me when I fly, and I even gifted it to my parents. I have digestive issues and thoroughly hate going number 2. The squatty potty makes the experience more tolerable.

  • Love my squatty potty! I give them as gifts all the time.

  • Wasn't my thing. I can see how others would like it, but it just really did nothing beneficial for me. I ended up throwing it away.

  • My shits have never come out so well before. Whenever I don’t have access to my squatty potty and I gotta go I find myself missing it so much.

  • I was a skeptical when my friends told me the Squatty Potty changed their lives. It was only after my girlfriend bought one for our place and then I went on a work trip did I realize how much it had changed my life. Going number 2 is almost unimaginable without my Squatty Potty

  • Used the squatty potty at my physiotherapist's office. It is easy to use, helps to relax the muscles that need to be relaxed. Fits perfectly around the base of the toilet, so blends in with the decor. Highly recommend!

  • Fits well in our small bathroom. It’s especially nice for someone on the shorter side!

  • I have had a squatty potty for over a decade. I have the regular-sized one in white plastic. It is really helpful with simulating the natural squatting position we should all take in order to have complete evacuations. I highly recommend them for people with IBS, hemorrhoids, or a family history of colored tales cancer.

  • I'm a healthcare professional, and tout the benefits of positioning for your erm, bathroom needs. The Squatty Potty is great for bowel health! Compared to using a stool or propping your feet on a trash bin, the Squatty Potty helps get you into a better position, both in elevation and foot position. Sure it's not the most aesthetically pleasing thing for your bathroom, but it's functional and for the toilet that's more important.

  • We love our squatty potty! Definitely helps keep things flowing and going. We actually have a travel version that is super lightweight and can be folded up and taken wherever our hearts’ desire. Would definitely recommend!

  • I absolutely love it. I never “go” without it. I just wish it wasn’t so noisy when I bump into it at night

  • Everybody should have one of these! I put this on my wedding registry as a joke and let me tell you it was the best thing i did. I always use it and it helps so much! For my girlies who struggle with using the bathroom this is for you!!! Don't question it just get it!

  • From the first moment I used a squatty potty I was obsessed--cut to now several years later and I have hooked my family on them as well, to the point where my sister had sent a text that pooping wasn't as good after being away from home for just one day My current fave is the acrylic one as it blends nicely in my tiny apartment bathroom, beware of stubbing your toe however. That said, highly recommend for better pooping!

  • I was gifted the Squatty Potty, and I'll admit, I initially saw it as a gag gift. However, my perspective quickly changed after trying it. It has truly transformed my bathroom routine in the best way possible. This innovative stool has completely revamped my experience, enhancing both comfort and efficiency. Its ergonomic design encourages a natural squatting posture, leading to smoother bowel movements and less strain. I recommend it to anyone seeking to enhance their bathroom experience.
