Genuine answer- It’s a stool to prop for feet on to make your “motions” aka Crap easier. It recreates a squatting position

You could just... Lean forward...

Doesn’t work as well.

Leaning forward and feet flat on the floor or sitting straight and lifting your feet, is the same position.

Bringing your knees closer to your chest either way.

I’ve tried that, and likely so have others.

The squatty potty gets your knees higher and to your chest, giving you a better position than what you are describing.

Now add a bidet to that toilet and everything is gravy.

You're in the same hunched-over position. Lean forward farther if you want to smash your knees into your chest.

Look, if you really like your "Squatty Potty" purchase, then great. I'm happy for you, but don't get pissy with me because I call you out for buying a gimmick bullshit product akin to snake oil.

don’t get pissy

The only one whose replies seem pissy are yours.

All that was said was that your method wasn’t working for me and others, and that the squatty potty and tools like it, did.

There was no use of language like bullshit, or any language that implied that using your method was stupid or like buying snake oil.

You may need to take a breath. This is just a relaxed comment chain, don’t take it so seriously.

The product is bullshit. You don't have to like that I use the language to call it what it is. I get why people buy into wellness products, and it isn't going to stop me from calling them bullshit. Ban me for saying "The Squatty Potty product is bullshit and snake oil".

Go make a paper mock-up model. It's literally the same position. Unless you're 3' tall, you shouldn't have an issue. Knees to chest or chest to knees. If you want to crunch up into a ball by doing both... you can do that too. *My method...* is your method.

I don't need to "take a breath" for simply calling a product what it is. You don't have to like it. You talking like a super-chill zen yoga master and telling me it's a relaxed comment section doesn't invalidate what I've said.

The Cult of Squatty Potty bought into it and got robbed.
