Nope. Not even interested. And after watching that disgusting commercial, I'm even less interested. :confused:

I heard about this thing a few years ago. A friend swears by it. I really don't have any problem with my normal toilet situation so I'm going to just stay with that.

I know lots of people love their Squatty Potties! I only watched a few seconds of the video but there is truth to this. The better angle is healthier and can be extremely helpful to people with constipation issues or those who cannot strain for medical reasons. It's definitely better than going the laxative route.

While this can be a private and revolting subject, it is a necessary bodily function. The marketers have taken a subject matter of questionable taste, and turned it into innuendos full of color and puns.

Everyone loves a potty joke !

What was that scented product that masks the odor?

Then there was that product aimed at women cause their poop does not stink. You pour it into the bowl, and the poop is deodorized.

There was a discussion about that some time ago. That was hilariously marketed as well.

Heck, I read that even Dr. Oz talked about 'angle' for this activity. (And you know he can't be wrong. LOL.)

I thought it was a tasteless ad, but funny in spite or because.

I wonder how many takes they had to do, if the actor ever laughed?

I saw that on Shark Tank. I figured it would take off if a medical association endorsed it. Of course, anyone can create their own step at home.

I believe Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) sometimes needed his poop stool on Two and a Half Men. :)

I have a Squatty Potty and it does work. When I go away on vacation, I find myself trying to reproduce it with object in the bathroom, like a waste basket or something.

I'm not sure if this one is aimed at women, or just everyone, but the one I know of is called Poo Pourri.

As mentioned earlier, this company was on Shark Tank. At that time, they had already done $7 million in sales, if I remember right, and now they are sold out very frequently at Bed Bath & Beyond, where they have a nationwide distribution contract, along with other locations.

They're also available on Amazon.com. I have one and enjoy it. It did have a few week period of getting used to it, so if you get one don't expect immediate results (um, no pun intended)!

It fits around a typical toilet so is worth the $$$ over 'making' something to me. Being a male, with an occasional aiming incident, I find that I can just throw it in the shower once a week and keep it sparkly clean.

Yes, tmi for those who don't care or want one ... but for those of us prone to hernias (or other issues) it does a great job. And I much prefer this over installing a squat toilet!

Who would have thunk! The modern porcelain throne has a major flaw and it requires a major redesign!

Alan Cole... Get ready to swap out some more toilets! When you take a break from the musical horn!

Yes it was Poo Pourri indeed. Another classical marketing scheme.

In any event I am going to have to figure out a way to fit in a Squatty Potty in the bathroom.
