Build–your–own squatting platform — plans available

The Lillipad* squatting platform was conceived in 1991 when confronted with a regular sit down toilet after having adapted to squat toilets throughout India and South East Asia.

Perched on the rim of a building site toilet, I realised some timber to rest my feet on would make things more comfortable and stable.

Today the Lillipad packs down into a small box and I post them off to far-flung places (check out the feedback page for customer comments).

We also offer plans to build–your–own squatting platform for just US$ 9.50 (customize your squatting position).

What’s kept me going with Lillipad these last 18 years is a passion to create a beneficial, environmentally friendly and affordable object, and a certainty that squatting is the way to go!

* For all of you who thought Lillipad was spelt Lilypad, Lillypad, Lily Pad or Lilipad ... good on you for finding us!

The squat position — the healthy way we evolved to go!
Infants instinctively squat to relieve themselves, as do the majority of the world's population.

The Lillipad is an ergonomic squatting platform that sits around your toilet to facilitate the squat position. The Lillipad enables a variety of squatting and squat/sitting positions to suit your family’s flexibility. To ensure comfort, the footpads are adjustable and slope slightly forward and inward. To ensure a great fit, the Lillipad is available in two heights and the footpads allow width adjustment.


The Lillipad and the build–your–own squatting platform (offered in the plans) are far more comfortable and stable options than simply perching on the rim of a toilet. They also introduce the healthy and hygienic concept of squatting to others.

The step of the Lillipad provides access for children and (if they are sitting) a footrest too. While the Lillipad or the build–your–own squatting platform are in place, the toilet can still be used in the conventional sitting position.
