> Rubbermaid is not selling the 7 " step stools any longer. But Target

has the Potty Pal at 10 " and Baby Bjorn has an 8 " step, here is the

The Betty Mills Online Company has the Rubbermaid, 9.25 plain step

stool, because personally I would prefer my bathroom step stool not

to say " Potty Pal " or have cute little bears, but this is just a

personal preferance of mine. Here is the link;

In the absence of using a stool (say when you're away from home) I

wonder if bending at the waist when you're on the toilet would give

the same angle as described in the diagrams? It seems like you want

to have the thighs almost in line with the abdomen.

I do that too!

-- [Norton AntiSpam] what has help me with my C problem

I have suffered from C all my life. As a child being completely blocked

up was frightening since I could then eat something and get D

immediately. Well, there was no way for anything to move so I would end

up on the toilet in agony struggling to pass the whole mess.

Staying regular has always been very important to me. What has really

helped me besides the great suggestions on SCD is having a small

stepstool that I use to put my feet up on when using the toilet. It is

a little Rubbermaid stepstool that is about 7 inches high and 8 inches

wide. I keep it next to the toilet. Sounds silly, but it really has

helped me. Now my daughter, age 5, who has already ended up in the

emergency room due to constipation related stomach pain uses the

footstool as well. Here is a website that explains the reasons why this

helps. http://www.relfe.com/toilet_seat_constipation.html
