I bought 2 different sized ones a couple of years ago, found neither did anything beneficial for me and in fact both were quite uncomfortable to use. I've squat and defecated in dug holes while backwoods probably hundreds of times in my life, the squatty potty experience didn't begin to come close to replicating the experience, they're just a gimmick. Toilets aren't universal heights, people have different leg lengths, some people are skinny, some people are fat. Gimmick. I think they're popular because they're different and have a lot of 'oh man it's not natural to poop like that' which draws in the paleo-types and their unicorn alone probably moved a lot of units.
