Lillipad Squatting Platform

Lillipad Toilet Squatting Platform

How to squat on the toilet.

Empty both bowel and bladder using the natural squatting position.

Since 1991 - 31 years!

The Lillipad Squatting Platform makes your toilet more usable for you, your family and guests.

The Lillipad is designed to sit level with or lower than the rim of the toilet. To aid comfort, the footpads slope forward and tilt slightly towards each other.

The Lillipad supports a full squat posture for the best bowel movements and an empty bladder.

The rim of the toilet can be used in conjunction with the Lillipad to raise the heels slightly, supporting an easy, narrower, squat.

The step on the Lillipad provides access for children, and assists a beneficial squat-like position. Perfect for those looking to graduate to a true squat.

You can sit on the toilet with the Lillipad in position. The Lillipad quietly encourages healthy and hygienic squatting.

The Lillipad footstool solves a problem some adults and children have with their dangling feet ⎯ nothing to push against!
It provides access for children, and aids a beneficial squat-like position.

Squatting straightens our internal pipes releasing waste to flow.
With practice, deep squatting is balanced and requires no props. Infants instinctively squat, it is the natural way we evolved to go!

The first Lillipad was made 31 years ago in 1991 after using the squat toilets while traveling through Asia.
Making something helpful motivates us, as does wonderful customer feedback, and a certainty that squatting is the way to go!

The Lillipad transformed our lives. As we used to squat on the toilet in India it was always hard for me to sit instead of squat. Now, I use Lillipad every day. Even more importantly, my daughter (10yrs old) is into the habit of squatting daily on the toilet which is very good.

I wanted to give you reviews of my Lillipad which I bought in 2016 after arriving in Australia. I was not comfortable with sitting model of toilets and kept looking online for something to squat like Indian toilets. I found Lillipad as a boon. I was so happy that all my stress went away. It’s really good for constipation. Guys you all are doing a great job. I would really like to thank you. This is the best. I have been using it since 2016 and am very happy with it.

As you know, I have a Squatty Potty. Well, I prefer the Lillipad to the Squatty Potty by a significant margin. The Lillipad is actually easier to get situated on initially. But, its real advantage is that it allows for a much more complete squatting posture. That's what I was hoping would be true, and it is. So, functionally, the nod goes to the Lillipad. It's not even close. Obviously, the SP is a lot cheaper. But, that doesn't really count for much since the thing doesn't function as effectively. The SP doesn't require any assembly either, but that also is not a big deal in my book. So, I'm very pleased that you guys invented this device. I also appreciate the Lillipad's careful design and nice workmanship. Also, it is very stable, that’s no small thing either. Again, thanks very much for the nice product. Much appreciated.
