Does anyone out there have and use a squatty potty? If so, what is your impression of it? Does it upgrade your bathroom game?

    A what now? An expensive stool? Looks like a waste of money.

    I personally never have but I have heard from multiple friends that have used squat toilets on vacation to other countries and loved them. Much more "natural feel" and erm..cleaner than sitting.

    You could always try something cheap like a cardboard box kid's stool. I mean, i'ts in the bathroom for doing bathroom business. Does it really need to be fancy and expensive? ;)

    I have lived in parts of the world where toilets are built into the floor with places for your feet. Only the handicapped stalls have "western" toilets. I was usually too worried about balancing in that position, without peeing on my pants to properly relax. I once had to go into a stall to help my mother up, that might have influenced my fears.

    I've used several while in Japan. Also, I've squatted many times while camping. It made no difference for me. I had to go. I did my business. I left. Given the choice, I'd choose western style.

    Just hover over the regulation height bowl. Great for your quads.

    It helps everything move out easier. When you are sitting with your feet on the ground your colon kinks making it harder to push and get everything out. LOL Oh man, this it too much TMI...

    This is the best commercial that the world has ever made. Having said that, I have no interest in buying this product.

    So scrunching your knees toward your chest is supposed to make you poop easier?

    Um. OK.

    I thought that was just for when you're in labor.
