I found another use for this device....
What convinced me that squatting is the way to go was seeing the toilets in India. They are ceramic and have a flushing system, just like ours, but that's where the similarity ends. They have purpose-made places for your feet astride an opening over which you squat. The first time I used one of these it just felt right. If you've ever back-packed deep into the woods you'll know what I'm talking about!<br />Some reviewers said they had difficulty with their clothing. I can't imagine what the problem could be. You sit on the toilet as you normally would with your garments at your lower legs, then you slide the Squatty Potty forward a few inches and one by one lift your feet up on to it. Couldn't be simpler. Please do not attempt to stand on the unit before sitting down - this could cause it topple over causing injury. Read the instructions!<br />While enjoying my new-found toilet experience I noticed my toenails needed clipping. Lo and behold - I was in the perfect position! After cleaning up I got right back on again with clippers in hand and went to work. Voila! Beats standing on one leg with the other up on the counter!<br />I ordered two of the bamboo units and one arrived with a cross bracket that was 1/8&#34; too long. Being handy I quickly rectified the situation by sawing off the excess. I filled out their customer contact form on their website  to explain what happened and received a prompt and apologetic reply from Wendy Saipale and a note that they would be sending me an Ecco Squatty Potty and a bottle of Turdle-Loo for my troubles. Now that's good customer service!
