Why should I buy this? I could lean forward and achieve the same angle recommended by the web site.

My son does that. But then he sprays poop all over the back of the toilet and I make him clean it up. I'm getting this product to eliminate that.

It's not the angle of the torso that is important . It's the lifting of the knees above the torso that makes a difference.

The angle of the torso does matter to some degree. Leaning forward "curves" the path. Knees high and on either side of a sitting torso can help many (nothing helps all/everyone) people in bowel release.

For this to work best, in addition to the knees being lifted, the feet should also be further back, closer to your center of gravity (as if you were squatting).

Like Amber said, it's not the angle of the torso that's most important, but that your knees are lifted above the hips to get the correct alignment for your colon. You could also use a 7 inch box in front of your toilet, but I like that the squatty potty wraps around the toilet and I don't have to mess with getting a box out of the closet every time I have to go.

This is true. You could also get a stack of phone books to lift your feet and legs into the squat position. This unit makes it easy to achieve the required position and it's fun too.

A billion Chinese and most of Asia can't be wrong. Squatting is the norm there for everything, hanging out on street, cooking and, ahem, this.

I sometimes lean forward, which makes crapping easier, but then gravity is no longer working in my favor because my torso is parallel to the ground.

Yes, I bought it for just that reason, and It has worked just fine. Might want to get some wieghts for it too.

Absolutely. That is the main reason I bought this thing. I feel I made a very good decision with this particular item.

I should think it would be excellent, because you can angle it several ways in addition to simply turning your head!

Yes it is! I was in the same position as yours when i bought it and it's great for beginners! Highly recommended

I would say yes, with this caution - as long as you angle it properly - it works like a dream!!!!

In a word, yes. Just remember your setup to see if the 90 degree angle will fit.

Go to You Tube...I did, and that's what helped me decide on my purchase. Good luck.

I am using it that way, so far it is working just fine. Looks a little odd, but it gave me both the height and closeness I needed.

Yes! I would actually recommend doing just that. It looks nicer, is sturdier, and comfier. I did the same thing.

Exactly the same just based on your preference. If you buy from a site like this, you are missing out on the most beneficial aspects of this company. Message me for details: shanias1@hotmail.com

I agree with Kent. With some practice, you'll be fine. I've owned a few of these over the years and these are as good as they get. Have fun!

It allows the same range of tilt as a traditional laptop. In addition you get the added benefit of doubling your battery life.

The Macro part of it helps give you the fish-eye effect you want. It helps provide the necessary distortion you need for it to give you the look you presumably bought this object to provide. I'm sure you can find a double male 58mm adapter out there on Amazon land- but my thought to you is do you really want to?

I do not think so. You learn forward in the seat. You gain balance from the lean. I think you will enjoy using it and wonder how you ever got along without it. You are blessed. sbb

That is why I bought it. I should be just fine. Actually. I haven't used it yet.

As long as you have a standard multi-position stock you should be good to go. I've had mine for months and love it!
