Inspired by the sleekness of Scandinavian design, the PROPPR is an elegant, Australian designed, and Australian made bathroom footrest.
Having both form and function, the PROPPR is designed to help you simulate the squatting position when toileting. When you PROP (squat) the puborectalis muscle relaxes, and your colon straightens, allowing for a quick, easy and complete release every time. You can read all about why we were meant to squat here. This image shows the effect on the bowels of anterior tilt of the pelvis when combined with the knees above hip height.
It can benefit anyone of any age, but it is especially great for use during pregnancy and postpartum when constipation and haemorrhoids are common, and a quick movement is a good movement (especially when your baby is unsettled). For more information, see their article PROPPR Bathroom Tips for Pregnancy.
When not in use, it fits neatly in a corner or next to the toilet.
PROPPR toilet foot stools come in either Timber or Acrylic material and a range of colours/finishes to suit any bathroom and household. Both types come packaged with a PROPPR canvas drawstring bag:
Timber:
- Premium FSC certified Australian timber.
- Hoop Pine finished with natural Tasmanian Oak external veneer. Each stool is moulded, bent and pressed one at a time by a specialist craftsman, akin to being handmade.
- Dimensions: 17cm wide x 45.5cm long x 22cm-24cm (slanted) height
- Non-slip rubber bump-ons on base
- Finishes: Tasmanian Oak (shown in main image), Black, Whitewash
NOTE: It is a footrest for use when sitting; it is not for standing on as a footstool.
Why buy from PROPPR?
'The PROPPR - The essential bathroom footrest' was originally brought to life by a crowd-funding campaign back in 2015. The then owners and founders saw a gap in the market for a quality and beautifully designed toilet footstool that considered ‘form’ as well as function. The PROPPR is now owned and sold online by a Australians, Zhenya Gerson, a colonic hydrotherapist/gut health specialist and Jacqueline Weiley, a marketing and communications professional. They are both passionate about spreading the word about the PROPPR. Recently their efforts paid off as they were recently featured on Gwenyth Paltrow's Goop within the "The Wellness Junkie's Gift Guide".
