HOCA Original Bathroom Toilet Stool, Medically Tested Squatting Step

I did a lot of research on the benefits of squatting to poop, having started incorporating the "Asian Squat," into my daily life, a number of years ago. I also did a lot of research on the various "Squatting Aids," available, some of which were very, very expensive. So, in the end, I went for the best known option, The Squatty Potty, which I purchased. However, when I tried it, it didn't "feel" like proper squatting and didn't seem to work Not only that, but the way I was forced to sit on the toilet was very uncomfortable, as the sharp, inner edge of the toilet seat dug quite painfully into my rear! I therefore sent it back and resolved to squat on the toilet rim, which I've been doing for years, in spite of the fact that many people (and I agree with them) warned/advised that it might, not only be precarious, but potentially dangerous to do! I decided to revisit the squatting aid option again, as I'm not getting any younger, but decided to avoid the Squatty Potty. I therefore happened upon the HOCA Toilet Stool, which seemed to come with a lot of recommendations and "medical" endorsements. So, took plunge and ordered one. The first few days of use, took some getting used to, placing the stool at the correct distance from the toilet. I haven't experienced anything close to the discomfort I felt with the Squatty Potty, although to be fair, it might be that I've had a new toilet/toilet seat fitted, in the past year and the inner edge of the toilet seat may not be as sharp as the previous toilet/toilet seat. Either way, the HOCA fits neatly under the toilet, until needed and I have to be honest, it appears to "work," and perform its function really well! 😉😉 That, and I feel much more secure and comfortable using it. Therefore, I can thoroughly recommend this product!

Excellent...perfect for adult use. Positions knees above hip line. Very study.

This item has made using the bathroom so much easier. No straining or waiting for ages to go. Instant relief. Worth every penny. Great quality materials and price for this item.

Once you get past your embarrassment about ordering yourself a Squat Pot ( which comes in a sealed Amazon Box) this version is very sturdy, fits neatly tucked in around the base of the toilet pan with a bit sticking out but nothing to trip you up and is very sturdy. Have yet to try it out but did the research online so know it'll work fine and it's good for our health . May hide it when we have visitors to stay to avoid explaining about healthy pooing but otherwise a great purchase.

Great stool for using in the bathroom if you have different struggles with going. Simple and easy to clean. I have a small bathroom and this fits well under the toilet when not in use so it doesn't get in the way

Really good for assisting with poo due to constipation and piles

I'm 2 weeks post hysterectomy surgery and this item has been a great thing as makes going to the toilet painless and quick. I'll continue to use this as I can see the benefits of it. Fits snug so doesn't get in the way.

This is a sturdy item that fits neatly around the toilet bowl. I have no issue with the quality and use it daily. However... EVERYONE is DIFFERENT and I have tested with a ~21cm "FLAT stool" and the results, for ME, are noticeably different, i.e. BETTER. I am (approximately) 6'2" (188cm) and toilet is standard. This item is 21cm (8.3") in HEIGHT at the BACK and slopes to 19cm (7.5") at the FRONT. I highlight this as I PERSONALLY have found that this is approximately 2cm (0.75") TOO high for me on MY toilet OR the angle of incline does not work for ME OR it may be a combination. I will probably replace this stool at a later date IF I come across a real DEAL on a STURDY 21cm high stool that does not have an incline from back to front.

A little bit over priced in my opinion, but it is steady, space saving, and helped me a lot

Come da descrizione

Der Toilettenhocker ist stabil und sauber verarbeitet. Er sorgt für eine angenehmere Sitzhaltung und erfüllt seinen Zweck zuverlässig. Ich bin mit der Qualität zufrieden und kann den Hocker empfehlen.

Såg "originalet" på Shark Tank många år sedan och denna uppfyller funktionen i sin ordning. Den är lika i bred och höjd som originalet fast 6/10 delar billigare. Den är gjord av hård plast och sitter utmärkt runt svenska toaletter och när den väl omringar toalettstolen så syns den knappt och du känner inte av den ifall du sitter som vanligt.

Lo coloco bajo el inodoro para elevar las piernas y la diferencia se nota: la postura es más natural y me resulta más fácil a la hora de plantar el chopo. Empecé a usarlo por mejorar la postura mientras envacuo. Al principio me resultó algo incómodo, pero en unos días me adapté. Compré el modelo de plástico blanco: no patina (ni en el suelo ni con los pies), se limpia fácil, es ligero y queda escondido bajo la taza. Además, me sirve como escalón para alcanzar baldas. Mido 1,73 cm y la altura me va bien; en casa con personas mucho más altas o más bajas la altura fija puede no ser la mejor. Pros Mejora la postura (rodillas elevadas) y reduce el esfuerzo En mi caso favorece un vaciado más completo Antideslizante, estable y fácil de limpiar Ligero y compacto: cabe bajo el retrete y queda oculto Multiusos: vale como escalón o para sentarse un momento Contras Periodo de adaptación los primeros días Altura no regulable: puede no encajar a todos por igual No es plegable; ocupa fijo (aunque se esconde bien bajo la taza) Para mí ha sido una compra acertada: cómodo, práctico y con beneficios claros en el baño. Si lo van a usar personas de estaturas muy distintas, miraría una opción ajustable.
