Product: 2-Pack: TUSHY Ottoman Go Toilet Stool
Model: OTTGOW
Condition: New
The Ottoman Go supports a natural squatting position to help reduce constipation, hemorrhoids, and bloating by allowing for more complete and easier bowel movements
Its 7-inch height is designed to create the optimal angle for a more relaxed and effective bathroom experience
The anti-slip surface and non-slip foot pads ensure stability and prevent sliding during use
With a sleek white design and durable, recyclable materials, it supports up to 550 pounds without compromising style
It’s easy to wipe clean and lightweight enough to be quickly stowed away when not in use
@haydesigner I had thought the same thing years ago, but try finding a 7" footstool (most are taller) that’s the same width (unless you poop with your feet together) all for under $12. I never found one.
@brainmist One would sure think so… but maybe not?
While looking briefly online, I found one person who said that leaning gets the benefits of the angle but misses out on the benefits of working with gravity.
How much does that matter? I don’t know.
I also found someone else who claimed that stools (for lifting the legs) were not at all useful, but that leaning was. (The surrounding material did not give me great confidence that they knew what they were talking about, though.)
@el1c1a I love my Squatty Potty. Has changed my life, and I am not kidding. I don’t know about these things. They don’t look as well made. And they don’t appear to tuck under the toilet as well as The squatty Potty. But then again they’re half the price. But you get what you pay for here at Meh.
@el1c1a@Fuzzalini I don’t like that Squatty Potty managed to trademark a term that was already in common usage.
These are pretty common in other places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet
Many people would colloquially refer to them as “squatty potties,” which was a fun moniker until that stool company came along and kind of ruined it.
@AaronLeeJohnson Probably worse as it’ll raise your knees up higher than might be comfortable in relation to your, um, butt. I’d first test with a stack of books at the advertised height (7 inches) and see how comfortable that feels. I have leg mobility issues and this just exasperated my pain the longer I sat. So if you like to read…
“@DrunkCat”, standing while you poop may get them to notice you, but it isn’t going to get them back. Then again, you’re “AI” so you don’t have real relationships.
Are you indicating that today’s stool reminded you that you just bought a similar one, so you pulled it out to use it?
Or is today’s stool the comedic version?
@nikodrant@pmarin@xobzoo Comedic. Actually at an airb&B they had one in the bathroom so I tried it out of curiosity. That lasted about 1 second. Angle was all wrong and it was really uncomfortable. Having spent years taking people doing outdoor adventure things for a living I found squatting on the ground is fine, these are a very different angle and, at least in my opinion, are not.
One of my co-workers tells a tale of sitting in the stall struggling, when a guy rushes into the next stall and barely has the door closed when there are all the sounds of success. My co-worker, in exasperation says “you are so lucky”! To which the reply comes, “not as lucky as you, I haven’t got my pants down yet”. That must be the guy in the image. I feel he should not have bought this product.
I tried using one a few times, but if you have any leg mobility problems (like I do) you’re gonna get a leg cramp or worse. I wish these had been around when I was younger & healthier, then it might have worked for me.
We bought a couple of add-on bidets from Tushy about 5 yesrs ago, and then bought a folding stool from someone else for one of our toilets. It really does help align the sigmoid colon and rectum for easier pooping, although it may not work for everyone.

Those look like the poo would just slide off instead of being contained.
I’ll bet these can’t make margaritas
@heartny But you can “salt the rim” if you wish.
@heartny @Kerig3 Just don’t “assault the rim”.
I mean, does this really do anything that a simple footstool wouldn’t do? (And for cheaper?)
@haydesigner find me a footstool for $12. Plus this tucks away against the toilet.
@haydesigner I had thought the same thing years ago, but try finding a 7" footstool (most are taller) that’s the same width (unless you poop with your feet together) all for under $12. I never found one.
@alose @haydesigner If stool helps my stool it will bring new meaning to “Tucks away”
@akatz227 @alose @haydesigner I don’t normally need the Tucks but I do like Dude Wipes.
But isn’t the stool what’s supposed to go down the toilet?
These don’t appear to be a good fit.
If the issue is the angle of your torso relative to your legs, couldn’t you just… y’know… lean forward?
@brainmist One would sure think so… but maybe not?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@brainmist I think lifting your legs relaxes a muscle that leaning does not. I am not sure though.

That commercial is unhinged.

When you tested these for the write up, was it a stool sample? (Sorry, I’ll see myself out.)
Is this better or worse if the toilet is low?
@AaronLeeJohnson Probably worse as it’ll raise your knees up higher than might be comfortable in relation to your, um, butt.

@AaronLeeJohnson @Kerig3 But(t) also keep in mind…
AaronLeeJohnson @Kerig3 Pain can be exasperating, especially when it is exacerbating.
So do we poop onto these? This “rectum” and “angles” talk is academic
@ArrakeenMentat Rectum? I hardly knew 'um!
Perfect thing to stand on when shitting out garbage “AI”.
@DrunkCat Keep it up. They are bound to call you back.

/showme thing to stand on when shitting
@mediocrebot Sturdy and oh so close to ergonomic.
Great deal, I’d be in if I hadn’t just bought two new from Tushy over a month ago. This stool is the Ame no Uzume to my stool’s Amaterasu
@nikodrant Wakarimasen
@nikodrant @pmarin I, also, am unsure how to interpret that.
Are you indicating that today’s stool reminded you that you just bought a similar one, so you pulled it out to use it?
Or is today’s stool the comedic version?
@nikodrant Ammy mentioned!
@pmarin @xobzoo I mean that when my stool decides to hide in its cave, I can rely on this stool to coax it out

Meh, did you evaluate a stool sample before buying these in bulk?
No need for one. Sorry meh.
/giphy flushing deal down the toilet
I have a squatty potty and really like it. I’ll grab these for the guest bathrooms.
@Pony Can I be a guest? I am curious if these would improve my shituation.
@Lien007 how do I get a hold of you?! I miss you! Kars 4Kids, So many!
It’s true, but with a meh bidet, who cares if it comes out clean? I have a pooh spray.
Do these help keep your legs from going to sleep if you sit staring at your phone too long?
Holy Crap.
I don’t think I need this for the stated purpose, but this might make a great footstool. Do they stack?
I’m cheaper than meh. I’ve been using a cardboard box to raise my feet for a year now.
@Felyne For extra stability you could fill it with Trackrs and 1A USB car chargers.
@pmarin
…AND you’d sure get a charge out of that! Win-Win!

How the hell are these 2/$100 anywhere?
@Lister It’s just simple math. If each one is $50, that makes $100 total for two!

I mean, who am I to tell people how to spend their money. If you’ve got $100 and you really want two lumps of plastic, I guess Amazon has you covered
