10 Reasons Thousands of Australians Are Adding This to Their Bathroom

If you've spent years managing bloating, straining, and slow digestion - and nothing has actually fixed it - keep reading. The answer is simpler than anything you've tried.

Reason 01

Your toilet has been working against your body. Every single morning.

Here is the thing nobody tells you. Modern toilets were designed 200 years ago for indoor plumbing - not for how the human body actually works. When you sit on a standard toilet, your body is forced into a 90 degree angle. That angle kinks the puborectalis muscle - the one that controls your colon.

It is like trying to squeeze a kinked hose. The water doesn't flow. Neither does anything else.

You were never doing anything wrong. You were just sitting in the wrong position - every day, your whole life.

90°
Modern Toilet
Colon kinked. Muscle stays contracted. You strain, push, sit there for 20 minutes wondering why.
35°
With GoTime
Muscle fully relaxes. Colon straightens. Your body does what it was designed to do - naturally and quickly.

GoTime is a bamboo stool that sits in front of your toilet and raises your feet to the correct angle. That's the whole thing. One small position change. A completely different experience.


Reason 02

You feel it the very first morning - not after weeks of waiting.

This is what surprises people most. They expect it to be like every other gut health product - something you take for weeks and wait to see if anything shifts.

GoTime is not a supplement. It does not add anything to your body. It corrects a physical position. The moment your feet go up and the angle shifts, your body responds. Immediately.

Most customers describe the first time the same way: shock. Then relief. Then the quiet realisation that they never had to struggle that hard in the first place.

Pelvic floor physios recommend it. The most consistent advice given by pelvic health practitioners for constipation and straining is to elevate your feet - before any supplement, dietary change, or medication.

Reason 03

Every laxative, every supplement, every "eat more fibre" moment - none of it fixed the actual problem.

If you've spent years managing your gut instead of fixing it, you are not alone. Most people in this situation have done the rounds. Metamucil. Coloxyl. Magnesium. Probiotics. Elimination diets. "Maybe I'm just lactose intolerant."

Some things helped a little. Nothing solved it. That is because all of those solutions are treating what comes out of your gut - not the position your body is in when it is trying to empty.

It is like mopping the floor while the tap is still running. GoTime turns off the tap. It corrects the root cause, not the symptom.

This mirrors what's been measured, not just felt. A 2003 study in Digestive Diseases and Sciences timed this exact shift: squatting-style posture cut average time to fully defecate from 130 seconds to 51 seconds, with subjects consistently rating it easier. Read the study →

"Stop managing the symptom. Fix the cause."

Reason 04

The afternoon bloating you've been blaming on food? It starts in the morning.

That heavy, bloated feeling that builds through the day - the one you have been blaming on gluten, on dairy, on stress. It often starts with an incomplete morning.

When your body does not fully clear first thing, the retained waste continues to ferment. Gas builds. Pressure builds. By 2pm you feel full and uncomfortable and you haven't eaten anything unusual.

GoTime allows for more complete elimination in less time. When your gut empties properly in the morning, the afternoon bloating often simply does not happen. No diet change. No food diary. Just a position change.

Afternoon bloating and morning elimination are linked in the research too. A 2019 Ohio State University trial found 71% of footstool users reported faster bowel movements and 90% reported less straining after four weeks. Read the study →

Reason 05

It belongs in your bathroom - and it actually looks good there.

Most toilet stools look exactly like what they sound like. Cheap. Clinical. Plasticky. The kind of thing you slide behind the toilet when guests come over.

GoTime is crafted from premium bamboo. It sits beside your toilet and looks like it belongs there. People notice it and ask where you got it.

The products that actually change your life are the ones you leave out - because they are always there when you need them. GoTime is designed to live in the open.

You don't have to take our word on the finish either. See what people say about stools like this more broadly in What People Are Saying below.

"Try it for 30 days. If nothing changes, send it back."

Fix Your Mornings

Reason 06

When your morning works, your whole day feels different.

This one is harder to explain until you've experienced it. When you spend 20 minutes in the bathroom every morning, pushing and waiting and leaving feeling unfinished - it takes something from you.

A low-grade heaviness that follows you into your day. A quiet preoccupation with how your gut feels. A background anxiety around meals.

When that resolves - and with GoTime, it usually resolves within days - the absence of that feeling is remarkable. You feel lighter. Clearer. More present. Like something that was quietly taking up space in your mind has simply gone.

"Lighter and clearer" isn't just marketing language. Reduced straining and more complete elimination are exactly what the cited research above measured, not a feeling we're asking you to take on faith.

The Research

Raising Your Feet Isn't a Trend. It's Been Studied.

You don't have to take our word, or anyone's word, for this. Here's what's actually been published on posture and elimination mechanics.

The 2003 defecation-position study

Researcher Dan Sikirov had participants defecate in three positions — sitting on a 16-inch toilet, a 12-inch toilet, and squatting — and timed each one. Squatting cut average time from 130 seconds to 51 seconds, and subjects consistently rated it as requiring less effort.

The 2019 footstool trial

Ohio State University researchers gave 52 healthy adults a toilet footstool for four weeks. Dr. Peter Stanich, the study's co-author, said the results suggested "these simple devices may help symptoms like constipation, bloating, and incomplete emptiness." Gastroenterologist Dr. Hardeep Singh explained the mechanism as straightening "the angle between the anus and rectum."

The 2025 scoping review

A 2025 review in BMC Public Health pooled 42 studies on sitting vs. squatting toilet posture. It found squatting-style posture is associated with reduced digestive strain and easier evacuation, while noting most individual studies are small and the evidence base still needs larger, longer trials.

We're including this one deliberately because it's the most cautious source here. The overall pattern across the research favours a raised-foot position, but we'd rather show you the honest state of the evidence than only the flattering headline stats.
