The Squatty Potty Simple Curve raises your feet 7 inches and repositions your body from a colon-kinking 90° sit into a natural 35° squat — the posture humans were designed for. Doctor recommended, 3,000+ Amazon buyers rate it 4.6 out of 5, and it tucks discreetly under your toilet when you're done.
Sitting upright to eliminate is a modern habit — and your body pays for it every single day.
Your puborectalis muscle is designed to keep waste "on hold" while you stand. When you sit at a full 90° angle, that muscle stays partially engaged — kinking the colon and forcing you to strain against your own anatomy.
Pushing, holding your breath, and hovering over the seat aren't just uncomfortable — chronic straining is associated with hemorrhoids, incomplete elimination, and that constant "never quite finished" feeling.
When elimination doesn't happen efficiently, sessions stretch out. You bring your phone, you sit longer, and prolonged sitting on the toilet adds pressure exactly where you don't want it.
The squatting aids that work are often bulky, clinical-looking, or tip over when you step on them. So they end up hidden in the closet — which means they never get used when it counts.
One sturdy step, a smarter angle, and a design that actually looks good next to your toilet.
Pain: Sitting upright strains against a kinked colon.
Elevating your feet repositions your body from a 90° sit into a 35° squat, relaxing the puborectalis muscle so elimination can happen the way nature intended — with less strain and less time on the toilet. It's the doctor-recommended fix.

Pain: Footrests that are too low do nothing.
Seven inches is the height that actually changes your anorectal angle for standard toilets. Feet rest naturally on the curved platforms, knees rise above hips, and your body settles into proper squatting posture — no balancing act required.
7" elevation · Curved dual foot platforms
Pain: Bulky aids cluttering a small bathroom.
The open-front curve slides under most toilet bowls, so the stool disappears when guests come over — no more kicking it aside or hiding it in the tub. Clean lines and a modern silhouette that looks designed, not medical.

Pain: One-size aids that don't fit your bathroom.
Designed for the standard toilets found in most homes — 14" to 16" from floor to the top of the bowl rim. At 18.75" wide by 12.38" deep, it wraps the toilet base without blocking your feet or the door swing.
Fits 14"–16" toilet heights · 18.75"W × 12.38"D
Pain: Aids that trap grime in seams and hinges.
One-piece sturdy plastic with no hinges, threads, or fabric to trap mess. Spray or wipe it with your favorite bathroom cleaner, or wash it in the tub — it's the easiest piece of bathroom equipment you'll ever maintain.

Pain: Wobbly stools that slide mid-use.
The wide arched base spreads your weight across the floor, and the textured tread lines on both platforms grip bare or socked feet. Light enough to reposition one-handed, stable enough that you forget it's there.

Morning routines, guests, and cleanup — here's what daily use actually looks like.
Feet up, knees above hips — the first thing you notice is that nothing feels forced. Sessions that used to drag on with pushing wrapped up faster, and that incomplete feeling was simply gone.
The curved platforms fit feet at any angle, and the stool never shifted or wobbled once — the arched base stays planted even when you step on and off quickly. No sliding on tile, no rocking.
Weekly wipe-down with a normal bathroom spray, done. No seams collecting dust, no hinges to scrub. And when company came over, the whole stool slid under the toilet and vanished from view.
I ignored these things forever thinking it was a gimmick. It is absolutely not a gimmick. The difference in how things... go... is noticeable from the very first use. Less straining, faster, and I'm off the toilet in a fraction of the time I used to be.
The Simple Curve tucks under the toilet so my small bathroom doesn't look like a medical supply store. It's sturdy plastic, wipes clean instantly, and my whole family uses it. My kids think it's a step stool; I know what it's really for.
Posture improvement is real, no more incomplete visits. Only note: it fits my standard toilet perfectly, but if you have a compact or wall-hung toilet, check the clearance under the bowl first. The curved front is what makes the tuck-under work.
