Why I Love My Toilet Stool - A Firsthand Account
In a hurry?
First it got a few smirks, now I can't imagine life without it: an honest report about the bamboo stool, the squat position, and why my daughter benefits from it too.
I never thought a toilet stool would make such a difference - until I tried one. Now I honestly wonder how I ever managed without it. The natural squatting posture you get with a toilet stool is simply so much more comfortable that I don't want to go to the bathroom any other way. And honestly? Since getting my new bamboo toilet stool, my bathroom not only looks nicer, I've also finally found a proper solution - instead of continuing to repurpose my daughter's little step stool.
Why a Toilet Stool? My Aha Moment!
I'd heard about toilet stools again and again, but never really given them much thought. After the first few tries it was clear: this one stays. With my feet on the stool, I'm more in a squat than sitting upright - and that feels considerably easier for me. Things go more smoothly with the stool - I hardly have to push at all anymore. I sit for less time, I strain less, and I get up feeling more relaxed.
Perfect for Adults - And Kids!
Something I never considered before: a toilet stool isn't just handy for adults. Kids also get onto the toilet more easily with a stool and have something under their feet while sitting - with little ones, ideally under supervision. I wish I'd had a solution like this for my daughter earlier - then all that endless pushing her step stool back and forth wouldn't have been necessary at all.
Space-Saving & Practical - The Toilet Stool Fits Perfectly
My new bamboo toilet stool isn't just good-looking and a perfect match for the rest of my bathroom, it also slides neatly under the toilet whenever I don't need it. So practical! Before that, as I mentioned, I'd been using my daughter's old step stool as a makeshift solution. It just didn't fit the look and was constantly in the way. Now that old plastic kids' stool can finally go - and my bathroom looks much tidier.
These days I don't go to the bathroom without it. Squatting instead of sitting upright, a stool that disappears under the bowl, and one less plastic stool in the way. That's all there is to it - and for me, that's all it takes.
