Squatty Potty The Original Bathroom Toilet Stool- Slim Teak Finish 9"

I had a 7 inch white plastic squatty potty for a about 3 years, and honestly I did not notice much difference while dropping the kids off at the pool. I continued to use it though, because I figured there had to be some healthy benefits to it based on the stellar reviews elsewhere. We were remodeling and I decided to splurge on this wooden 9 inch one. The first time I released the Kraken on this thing I felt....I don't know how to explain it. I felt whole again for the first time in years!There is a little bit of a different approach to this one vs the 7 inch white plastic Squatty Potty. Where I could firmly plant my feet flatly on the white one... This one requires a little more finesse. I wear size men's 11.5 shoes, and my feet can't really be planted on this slim wooden one. There just isn't enough room on each side. But that's fine, I basically use the balls of my feet, push my legs up, and lean back slightly.On the white one I could bring my iPad and surf le reddit, but on this one, because my knees are now in my face (the way it should be), there's not really much opportunity or time to delve into the latest AMA. At first, as I sat down, I was disappointed, as I was so used to taking a while to see a man about a horse..but then the elimination happened so quickly that it didn't matter. I was in and out so quick, and felt so good, and the fudge shuttle I left behind was the biggest I've ever seen. I'm talking, dry docked jimmy, event horizon type of cornerback rattler. If you plant your feet on this one and lean forward, you will definitely lose your balance and you might fall forward all the way. I think the method of using the balls of my feet helps, because I can feel my hammies stretching which means a more open opportunity for release. So regardless if you have the 7 inch or 9 inch one, you may want to try balancing on the balls of your feet for a more complete experience.As far as the aesthetics, I love this model, it's much more unassuming than the bulky white plastic one. It's lightweight and easy to clean. Because of its height, it doesn't "fit" around the toilet the same way the white 7 inch one does, because the edge goes against the part of the bowl that juts out a bit more.10/10 would squeeze out a fresh slurpee again

"What’s one item you’ve purchased in the past six months for under $100 that’s had the biggest positive impact on your life?"A question frequently asked by Tim Ferriss. (He has a podcast and interviews a variety of guests.)I would have to answer with THIS. The Squatty Potty. An absolute game-changer.I've been incredibly satisfied with not only its helpfulness in the bathroom (lol) but also its design. It fits right in to our bathroom's "theme" (do bathrooms have a theme?) by being made out of a sleek wood. Looks high quality, feels sturdy, and will be a staple in our bathroom for a long time.Before I had been using a plastic white stool, that didn't tuck under the toilet so it took up a lot of room. This squatty potty tucks right in and doesn't take up much space, except for about 6 inches on each side of the toilet once it's tucked.If you're debating on shelling out more $ for this wood version - I say go for it. The plastic version is kind of medical-looking to me, and probably won't hold up as well as this wood version.It's the most useful thing I've purchased under $100 in the last six months. Hands down.

I would give this 5 stars except I had to spend an hour hand sanding the company logo (80 grit for 40 mins, 200 grit for 20 mins), of a squatting person on a toilet, and the company name off it. I paid $90 to have an aesthetically pleasing version of this and it has this cheesy crap engraved on it? Come on. :( The branding should be on the underside. We are spending so much more because we know what it is and want a better-looking version than the cheap plasticky version. Heck, they could charge us extra for a version without the branding. This is an excellent product, otherwise. I would have paid the extra $10 to have one without it and not have to spend the time and effort sanding it off. Make it an option, please.

Not really enough room to comfortably put one's feet. Also, I think people should be careful of using this very high stool if they have an elongated toilet seat as opposed to a more round seat. This position puts pressure on the back of the thighs in a very uncomfortable way and even caused my legs to go quite numb. I don't think that would happen if I used this with a round toilet seat. Well made material, so I am giving this a three star rating.

Best poops ever..... it gets those knees up like you are birthing babies and I am here for it. My poops have been pleasant and complete since owning this. Buy it. You know you want it. It also honestly makes your toilet look better. It looks like you take executive sh!ts. Like, you’re in a meeting, crunching figures and letting it all flow naturally in the process. You can deliver a nice log and a decent presentation at the same time.

I returned the 9" Teak finish Squatty Potty the same day it arrived and ordered the 9" white plastic model. I'm sure the wood model would have worked fine, but I was very disappointed in the quality of the product. For $80, I expected it to be furniture-quality, but what I received had nicks, dents, dings & scratches UNDER the faux wood-grain finish. It looked like it had been kicked around the shop floor before someone decided to apply a finish and get it out the door. The curved line of the portion that wraps around your toilet had evidently been sawn free-hand by someone with palsy, or perhaps just ADHD, because the saw cut wasn't consistent, with one side having a much different curve than the other. In addition, some of the top edges were very rough, as if that edge had been dragged across the edge of a steel work table. And all this had happened BEFORE the finish was applied.So, my advice is to save some money and buy the plastic model for $25, or build one of your own.

We had tried it out at a friends house and were sold! Bought it as a Christmas present for my partner and they loved it. We have been raving about it to everyone who comes round the house. Really does make a difference. Would strongly recommend.

Lovely piece. Would recommend

Much nicer looking than our last plastic squatty potty but the 9inch doesn't fit great around our toilet ( the 7inch was only available for over $150). Also annoyed at the fact that the grooves and logo aren't lacquered as advertised, so crud can seep into the body of it unless I go to the trouble of sealing it myself.

Es un producto super bien hecho luce tan bien en el baño, es como parte de la decoración y si a esto le sumamos que a dos semanas he visto cambios, mucho mejor aún.

My family and I are enjoying using the squatty potty. The position is comfortable, (we bought the taller one). I was concerned it would look odd in our washroom but it fits so nicely around the toilet, one barely notices it's there. Great invention and a borrow of proper positioning from our wise Asian friends.
