Squatty PottyOslo Folding Bamboo Toilet Stool – 7 Inches, Collapsible Bathroom Stool for Kids and Adults – Brown, Portable and Space-Saving

I bought the original version of this brand's product several years ago, and I hated it. I would never use it. It was thick, ugly white plastic that would gather dust (literally) in the corner. I should've returned it, but for a while I kept trying to convince myself the reason it wouldn't work is because I never learned the proper position to sit on the toilet lol.......Yeah, that wasn't it. It was just a little too high and the angle was very uncomfortable. It was so steep that my feet would slide backwards off of it. This version is a HUGE upgrade. It's a lot sturdier and does not have that severe angle. I can also move my feet around a bit instead of being confined to the two places where you could put your f eet on the original model. It's actually a relatively attractive piece of furniture in the bathroom instead of an eyesore. And when I do need to put it away, it folds up neatly instead of being a large hunk of white plastic in the corner :).The best part about it of course is that it actually works! I won't go into detail, but the original model never worked for me. This one did on the first try. So they've definitely improved it a lot, probably in more ways than the immediately obvious ones (looks, compact, etc.).

I have chronic idiopathic constipation. After more than a decade of prescriptions and fiber regimens, I finally tried a squatty potty! It actually works really well and makes emptying my bowels more comfortable. I opted for the one that folds because I’m the only one in the house who uses it. The hardware is good quality and stiff at first, but starts to loosen up the more it’s moved. The wood options are beautiful and fits into the decor of my bathroom.

File under things I didn't know I needed and now can't live without. At 5'1", I am used to my feet not being able to touch the ground... including normal sized toilets. This squatty potty is fabulous! The comfort level and functionality of the mundane has improved my quality of life.I don't know how well this folds because I have not put it away since I got it. Love the bamboo wood tone to warm up my gray and white bathroom. Aesthetically, way better than the white plastic versions and worth the price difference. Practically, it is probably easier to sanitize the plastic than the wood. I wipe down occasionally with Clorox wipes or a damp, soapy cloth.

If you’ve never used a Squatty Potty, stop what you’re doing and get one. Seriously. It’s a simple product that makes a big difference—it helps your body align properly when it’s time to take care of business. Once you’ve used one, it’s hard to go back to not having one.This particular model stands out because it’s high quality, well-built, and surprisingly sturdy despite being foldable and portable. It’s heavier than I expected, but that’s actually a good thing—it feels solid and reliable. I spent a few months traveling and realized I couldn’t go without my Squatty Potty, so I brought this one along. It folds up nicely, making it easy to pack and take with you.And if you haven’t seen the Squatty Potty’s infamous "soft-serve unicorn" ad, look it up. You’ll either be sold immediately or left slightly horrified—but either way, you’ll be entertained.If you’re new to the Squatty Potty world, this one is a fantastic choice, whether for home or on the go. Trust me, you won’t want to go back to life without it.

Use it every day. I like the look of it, that’s it’s not plastic and it is easy to fold up when guests come. It came with a little storage bag but I usually just put it between the toilet and wall. I’ve had it for almost a year now - no rust, mold, or splintering

Would maybe give a 4.5 only because it didn't take long for the joints on each side to get locked into place, and now I can't fold it back closed. It worked perfectly for a few weeks, but now it has to stay open perpetually, kind of defeating the purpose of me buying a folding one. I did go maybe two to three weeks or so without closing it so maybe that contributed to it getting stuck? Not sure... just glad it got stuck in the open position, not closed. Shouldn't have happened either way tbh. I store it in my room, not the bathroom so no moisture to rust the joints or anything. Idk... I've been taking good care of it so *shrug.* Other than that, I love it--- way better than the white plastic one I bought years ago which I didn't really like. This one is stylish, not too big, and very sturdy. Hopefully I'll be able to close it again one day... At the time of this review, I've had it for exactly 8 months.

This version looks better than the plastic ones. Good quality, nice appearance, and comes in handy for other uses that require a step up position (shaving legs, applying lotion, manicures on feet, etc. Highly recommend!

I was so hesitant to get a Squatty Potty because (1) I think they're hideous; (2) they take up space; and (3) I didn't think I needed one, but I am pregnant and it was strongly recommended by my physical therapist. Wow, do they make a massive difference. I honestly cannot believe it. I don't have any serious issues in that area but having the Squatty Potty just makes this so much faster and more effective, and really reduces pressure and strain on your pelvic floor. I had been hearing friends sing their praises for years and was so doubtful, but now I am one of those people. Just get it!In my opinion, of the options, this model is the best looking, and also the most space saving for those of us with compact bathrooms. I am really happy with it and think everybody needs one in every bathroom!
