The Squatty Potty is the original foot stool specifically designed for proper toileting position allowing for the perfect bowel movement! Humans are not meant to have a bowel movement without squatting. A foot stool brings the knees to an elevated position, mimicking a squat. This opens up the pelvic floor which allows for an easier and more complete passing of your “number two”. There are several stools within the Squatty Potty brand at various heights. For younger kids, Squatty Potty also has a higher stool to help bring those little knees up. Once you go with a foot stool, you’ll wonder why you haven’t used it sooner!
