The toilet stool (Squatty Potty is probably the most well known brand name) is game changing. Highly recommend. That may be some of the lowest cost to benefit thing I've found for the home.

The only downside is that you'll miss it whenever nature calls outside the home.

Man that and bidets have changed my life. But it makes leaving home that much more difficult.

Plus one for bidets. What’s up with single ply being legal? Hurts so bad.

I actually prefer single-ply. I bunch it up (I'm not a folder) and it's far superior to that fluffy stuff that your fingers go right through and then sticks to your bum. Scott 1000-sheet + bidet + squatty potty is perfection to me.

Is it soft single ply? The stuff at the campground is so abrasive.

Just roll out a long strip and fold it twice, now you've got quad-ply. That’ll show em.

Just leave for japan. It re-normalizes your view on toilets.

I transferred once in the Tokyo airport and honestly I just wanted to live there the rest of my life.

I bought the folding one and take it on trips, I'm totally shameless about it.

I'm curious, is sitting up with the feet propped up on a stool, any different from leaning over (elbows on knees), with the feet on the ground?

Before getting a squatty potty I would lean over and it seemed to help. The stool does seem to help a little bit more and it's more comfortable.

Yes. At least in hotels I'm usually able to repurpose the bathroom trashcan for this.
