I got one for my dog, now it looks like he needs a back-up camera.

Second day of Squatty Potty short term evaluation and I give it the :thumbup:. Since this will be a life changing event, I'm gonna have to do a long term evaluation. I decided that I shouldn't post a picture (sorry outlaw, I know you were looking forward to that) but I just can't bring myself to take a selfi and my wife said no. Thanksgiving is coming up soon which seems like the perfect time to get some indisputable data. After all, it is the biggest travel day of the year!

That Amazon review was hilarious, as is this thread. Thanks to you all for making me laugh so hard I snorted coffee out of my nose.

Yes, but do you have the hose?

I'm sure that most of our gentle readers have been waiting anxiously to hear your Day Two update. :mornincoffee:
I'm sure that others will join me in congratulating you on your success. :doh:

Thanks barefoot! I won't disappoint you.

OMG Walter you are too funny and a delightful addition to TOTV.

My middle kid has lived in China about 5 years and sent us a squatty potty about 2 years ago. He said he wanted it for when he came home to visit. Really! I have been to the orient several times and really don't like the toughs they have and I don't like the squatty potty. One of the main reasons I don't like it or the troughs, and it is obvious if you think about it, is you have to be basically naked from the waste down or you are going to have a major unintended accident. Yuck!

Walter enjoy reading your posts!

Keep us updated :)

I just finished reading this thread. My sides hurt and my eyes are watering so bad I can barely see my keyboard. When I first saw the words, "squatty potty" I almost clicked out of the post. Boy, am I glad I didn't! What a refreshing, funny, absolutely entertaining thread. I can hardly wait for more "updates" from you, Walter! Keep 'em coming!

Hi JP,

First let me congratulate you on raising a fine son! He sounds like a man that is confident in his masculinity and knows what he wants. You should be proud.

Secondly, I addressed (or should I say undressed?) your concern in post 33. Having an engineering background and, working closely with OSHA over the span of a 30 year career, I can assure you that safety is always my number 1 (and 2) concern. I would never ask anyone to do something I wouldn't do and I'm not opposed to listen to feedback or suggestions. That's why I took the advice that zcaveman offered in post 17 which was to remove my wallet first. It wouldn't be a valid test so I used my old wallet filled with old credit cards and a recent gift card to Olive Garden. (I don't like Olive Garden).
The wallet stayed intact and the pants stayed dry so I guess I have to go to Olive Garden in the near future.

Thank you Gomoho, Blessed2BITV and VillagesFlorida. I aim to please. Speaking of aim, I will be installing the Bidet tomorrow makeing the potty experience even more enjoyable! Florida is the perfect area to try the bidet because the bidet doesn't heat the water. The potable water here is very warm, whereas up north the potable water is very cold. If the bidet is deployed too early, and the water is too cold, it might cause the shop to close early. No one wants that.

Reminds me that, in less "advanced" cultures, women squat to deliver babies. The current method of using stirrups is for the convenience of the doctor, not to assist the mother to deliver the baby. Gravity definitely works!

Today I'll start off with a joke.

If you're Italian in the kitchen, what are you in the bathroom?

European!!!!!

I know, this thread has nothing to do with peeing but it does have a European twist, I couldn't resist!

I installed my new bidet this morning and it was quite simple. Just shut off the valve to the tank, and flush to empty the tank. Remove the seat, install the unit and screw the seat back on. You may have to adjust the unit from side to side and front to back depending on eh,,,,you know. I must have a standard (you know) because I just centered it and pushed it all the way back. Don't worry if it's a little off because you can adjust the position of your (you know) while in use. Remover the waterline from the tank, install the tee fitting and connect up the hoses, turn the supply valve back on and check for leaks. That's it! Caution, I turned on the valve without sitting down and sprayed the mirror across the room! Sit down and turn the valve on to the pressure best for you. Enjoy!

You'll know you've arrived when you order a second unit for the guest bath, for those times you just don't want to walk all the way to the master bath.

You got that right RV! I'll be adding both units to the guest bathroom too. the beauty is my guests can go conventional or take a chance. It's all about options!

2729 views of the Squatty Potty thread. :shocked:
Walter, people are obviously interested.
Perhaps you could throw open your guest bathroom to all members of TOTV, and charge admission.

...

It sure is! Hope nobody misses reading it. All you have to do is click on her post and it pops up.

LOL......would I charge by the pound?

Maybe TV would let me install them on the community toilets at the pools?

For those of you that missed the original Bidet link, click here for the company website, or [ame="http://www.amazon.com/LUXE-Bidet-Vi-110-Non-Electric-Mechanical/dp/B005IT4C6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416679347&sr=8-1&keywords=luxe+bidet+vi-110"]click here[/ame] to purchase the model I purchased from amazon.

Now that products have been offered to take care of the back end of this pressing problem, stay tuned for suggestions on how my wife and I are addressing the front end issues.

And please, try to keep a straight face.

Hi Barefoot,

Like I said in a previous update, I feel that the day after Thanksgiving, hmmmm let's call it Brown Friday, should provide very good real life data so I'm holding back until then. Holding back the data that is, However, the data I've collected so far is promising.

Ok now the coffee went through my nose!

Oh Walter, such a delight to read your posts!

My squatty potty and I thank you for your support! I'm working on a new name for it. Squatty potty, as cute as that is, is too generic. I want to personalize it a little. Same thing with the bidet. I want to name the bidet Squatty Squirty but don't know if that would be copy right infringement?

I'd love to hear some suggestions from the wise people of TOTV.
Like when The Flintstones were trying to come up with a name for Pebbles. I actually entered the contest way back but forgot what name I entered.

I'm sure DougB will have a good suggestion!

I can see the wisdom in waiting for a long-term evaluation until after Thanksgiving.
However it's good to hear that the data you've collected to date is promising.
Please let us know how Brown Friday works out for you.
I can't believe I actually said that. :yuck:

After a good week of solid evaluation I give the Squatty Potty and it's side kick, Squatty Squirty, 5 stars! All kidding aside, this thing really works well. It took 2-3 days to figure out the most comfortable position. Everyone has their own sweet spot. The Squatty Squirty deserves a thread of it's own. The accuracy is unbelievable.

I've done my duty and reported back but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Well Walter, thank you so much for your evaluation and so glad to hear everything came out well!

Walter - you know I like your posts but this thread has been TMI! The only thing you didn't provide was you specific dietary intake. So...was it the Potty or the diet?

Now I'm confused :confused:

You said that I already provided TMI but yet, you ask for more? LOL!
With the exception of Thanksgiving, my dietary intake remained the same so I wouldn't skew the results.

Skew the results? You're killing me. Say goodnight Walter.

Goodnight Gracie.

Lots of people in health industry use these.
