Squatty Potty for handicapped toilets.

I don't know how many of you have been seeing the Squatty Potty ads. The first one was hilarious and they have others after that. Here's the first one:

They should win an award for this ad!

So I was wondering what the height difference is, between handicapped height toilets and regular height toilets. It's only about 2-3" higher for handicapped, isn't it?

Here's my correspondence with them yesterday:

They replied:

And I just replied back to her:

Thanks Wendy! Didn't know they came in different heights! You could market that as one for handicapped height toilets?

I think handicapped height toilets are only about 2-3" higher than regular ones.


So assuming we're just talking about a 2-3" height difference, as I suspect, it looks like their higher height model will do the trick and get the job done. ;-)

I take issue with handicap used to describe the height of toilets. First of all, not all handicap needs are the same. Without getting into unpleasant (TMI) details, some handicap needs (f.e. spinal cord injury) need to have more of a squat position to compensate for certain loss of muscle control which also might require a helping hand.

For the general population that don't have special needs, there are many that claim the standard height toilet in North America are to blame for much of what ails them in the solid waste removal task.

I think the notion of handicap toilets being higher is so that they are close to the height of an average wheelchair. Some special needs may involve an aid that goes above a standard height toilet and allows for room for the task at hand.

Yeah ok, conceded. Does ADA toilets sound better?
