Let's be honest: on a regular toilet, your knees are lower than your hips, and that's precisely when your pelvic floor has to work extra hard. If you place your feet on a toilet stool, you adopt a slight squatting posture — knees up, back relaxed. Many people find that going to the toilet becomes a more peaceful experience this way. No renovation is needed; a sturdy, low stool under your feet is enough.
At BUDDLEY, you can choose from bamboo, foldable, and stackable models in various heights. Popular options include the 180° natural bamboo toilet stool with two height settings (18 and 23 cm) and a swivel function, or the compact foldable bamboo toilet stool that you can slide away flat after use. If you have children at home, a stackable white toilet stool is convenient. A small drawback: bamboo is slightly more expensive than plastic, and a foldable model never feels as rock-solid as a fixed stool — for daily use, it's sturdy enough.
