Description
A bathroom squatty stool, also known as a toilet stool or poop stool, is a small platform that sits beneath your regular toilet seat. It elevates your knees above your hips when you sit down, mimicking a squatting position.
Benefits
- Promotes a more natural colon alignment, which some people believe can lead to easier bowel movements and less straining.
- May help reduce constipation and hemorrhoids.
- Can be helpful for people with pelvic floor dysfunction.
- Pregnant women: Squatty stools can help pregnant women find a more comfortable position for bowel movements, as their growing uterus can put pressure on their bowels.
- Children: Squatty stools can help young children who are potty training reach the toilet seat more easily and promote a more complete bowel movement.
Features
- Typically made from wood, plastic, or bamboo.
- Usually adjustable to different heights.
- Often has a non-slip surface for safety.
- Some are foldable for easy storage.
Here are some additional things to consider when choosing a squatting toilet stool:
- Height: The ideal height will vary depending on the height of your toilet seat and your personal comfort level. A good starting point is a stool that raises your knees slightly above your hips when you are sitting on the toilet.
- Material: Wood and bamboo stools are generally more comfortable than plastic stools, but they may also be more expensive. Plastic stools are typically more lightweight and easier to clean.
- Adjustability: An adjustable stool will allow you to find the perfect height for your needs.
- Non-slip surface: This is important for safety to prevent slipping.
