Squatty Potty- Toilet Stool- Proper toilet posture

It's also interesting that it was added at the end.. "It also fits conveniently underneath your toilet when not in use.."  I think the purpose of the design- the choice of angle and height that doesn't fully resemble flat ground- was simply for convenience of looking nice.  Stupid compromise!

I agree with Jonathan and Peter... Nature's platform models flat ground, which is where we are actually supposed to put our humanure- the soil!  Our biological needs are not evolutionarily formed to be dependent upon a structure in order to defecate.  Go in the forest if possible and your bowels will thank you!

The "squatty potty" does not provide the proper toilet posture. Only the natural squatting position does, which can be achieved by putting one's feet on the seat or on a sturdy platform on either side of the seat that is level to the seat. 

The nature's platform link given in another comment is a good resource. 

The squatty potty provides a slightly better posture than sitting, but it's still not the "natural position" in any way and doesn't provide quite as many benefits.

Using a footstool is not squatting.  It is just for people who are handicapped and incapable of squatting naturally.  For a comparison of the footstool method with natural squatting, have a look at http://www.naturesplatform.com/faq.html#lillipad

I am using a small chest to use as my squatty potty, works just as well. I admit, I was a little freaked by squatting at first but MAN does it make a world of difference! :)
