Yes, Walmart can be a solid place to get budget-friendly Squatty Potty and other toilet stools, especially if you want something easy to buy in-store or online with quick delivery. The real cost you’ll pay depends on the model (basic plastic vs bamboo or acrylic), whether you need adjustable or folding designs, and whether you’re buying one stool for home or several for resale. For a single household stool, Walmart’s prices on core Squatty Potty models are competitive; for small ecommerce buyers, generic stools from broader marketplaces can sometimes beat Walmart on unit cost once you’re ordering several pieces.
Walmart lists toilet stools under its health and medicine categories and carries multiple Squatty Potty SKUs alongside generics on its toilet stools page. You can see the current assortment on Walmart’s toilet stools category page: Walmart toilet stools. The brand page for Squatty Potty shows a mix of designs: adjustable 2.0 stools that convert between 7″ and 9″ heights, curved plastic stools in different colors, slim wood-look stools with a teak finish, clear acrylic designs, folding bamboo stools, and compact travel stools. These are examples rather than a complete catalog, but they cover the main price bands you’ll see at Walmart: lower-priced plastic for everyday use and higher-priced materials for buyers who care about aesthetics.
Walmart’s online assortment is fluid, but the practical takeaway is this: if you’re shopping there, you’re not stuck with just one model. You can filter for Squatty Potty or browse all toilet stools, then narrow by brand, price, and customer rating on the category page. That’s where you’ll see if the cheapest options are basic generics or if entry-level Squatty Potty plastic models are close enough in price to justify going branded.

What Walmart Actually Charges for Squatty Potty and Toilet Stools
Walmart’s Squatty Potty listings span a clear set of price bands tied to materials and design. While exact dollars change over time, the structure is stable:
- Basic curved plastic Squatty Potty (for example, colored curve stools) sit in the lower band for branded products – usually one of the cheapest ways to get a genuine Squatty Potty at Walmart.
- Squatty Potty 2.0 adjustable stools (7-9″) cost more than the fixed-height curve because you’re paying for a convertible design and more plastic tooling.
- Slim teak-finish wood stools and clear acrylic stools occupy a noticeably higher tier than basic plastic, reflecting both material and perceived style.
- Bamboo folding or flip stools and travel stools slot between basic plastic and premium acrylic, with price influenced by folding hardware and compact design.
On top of the product price, you’ll see shipping and delivery differences. Many of Walmart’s toilet stools are eligible for home delivery; some also show store pickup, which effectively drops the shipping cost to zero if you’re willing to pick up locally. For small resellers or clinics, Walmart’s business site lists at least one Squatty Potty curved plastic stool for business purchasing, which can make it simpler to buy multiple units on one invoice even if there’s no explicit volume discount displayed. An example is the business listing for a curved plastic stool: Squatty Potty curved plastic stool on Walmart Business.
Here’s a compact way to look at the cost structure by type, based on how Walmart and Squatty Potty present these products:
| Stool type | Typical material | Relative price vs basic plastic |
|---|---|---|
| Curved standard Squatty Potty | Solid plastic | Baseline (entry-level branded) |
| Squatty Potty 2.0 adjustable 7-9″ | Plastic, adjustable top | Higher |
| Slim teak-finish Squatty Potty | Wood/plywood with teak finish | Higher |
| Slim clear acrylic Squatty Potty | Acrylic | Highest or near-highest |
| Bamboo folding/flip stool | Bamboo plus folding hardware | Higher |
| Compact travel stool | Plastic, foldable | Around baseline to slightly higher |
If you only care about function and are fine with a generic brand, Walmart’s broader toilet stool category includes non–Squatty Potty plastic footrests that often undercut branded products. The trade-off is brand recognition and design quality, which you’ll have to judge through descriptions and reviews.

Why Some Toilet Stools Cost More Than Others
The price differences you see at Walmart mostly trace back to two things: materials and design complexity.
Squatty Potty’s own catalog highlights how they charge more for teak finishes, clear acrylic, and bamboo vs basic plastic. Premium materials improve appearance and can affect durability, but they also increase manufacturing costs. If your priority is a stool that visually blends into a modern bathroom, a slim teak or clear acrylic model from Walmart will cost more than a chunky white plastic curve. You can see this material spread on Squatty Potty’s site: Squatty Potty official catalog.
Design also matters. Adjustable stools that shift between 7″ and 9″ heights require more parts and tooling than a fixed curve, and folding designs need hinges and reinforcements. Travel stools pack into compact footprints, adding engineering and sometimes a price bump over a simple mold.
For home buyers on a budget, a pragmatic tradeoff looks like this:
- Go basic curved plastic if you want the Squatty Potty brand at the lowest price and don’t care much about aesthetics.
- Choose adjustable 2.0 if people of different heights will share the stool and you want to tweak comfort.
- Pay up for bamboo, teak, or acrylic only if visual style and matching your bathroom decor are part of the value you’re getting.
For small ecommerce sellers, think in terms of margin:
- Reselling premium materials (teak, acrylic, bamboo) can justify higher retail prices, but your upfront cost through Walmart will be higher and margins may feel tight once you add your own shipping.
- Basic plastic stools, especially generics, keep your cost down but may offer fewer brand-driven sales hooks. Your pitch becomes price and practicality, not the Squatty Potty name.
Customer reviews on Walmart listings frequently mention whether a stool feels sturdy, tucks neatly under the toilet, and feels worth the money. Review pages for specific products, such as the original bathroom stool, show these themes in aggregate: customer reviews on a Squatty Potty listing. If you’re trying to decide whether the upgrade to adjustable or bamboo is worth it, scan the reviews specifically for comments about build quality vs price – those are your best clues to real-world value.
Choosing the Right Buying Channel for Your Budget
Walmart isn’t your only path to a toilet stool, so the smart move is to match the channel to your situation.
For single-unit buyers in the U.S., Walmart and similar retailers (Target, Amazon) are often the easiest and most predictable option. Investor communications from Aterian have described Squatty Potty’s rollout into Walmart stores nationwide, which helps explain why many shoppers can add one to a regular store trip or place a quick online order. You get familiar checkout, straightforward delivery options, and enough reviews to gauge sturdiness and fit.
For small resellers or clinics who need multiple stools but not full-container quantities, Walmart’s business site is one way to buy several branded units on familiar terms. Amazon business accounts and direct orders from Squatty Potty’s own site are comparable alternatives if you want specific models that Walmart doesn’t list at the moment.
In practical budget terms:
- For one or two stools, Walmart’s mix of Squatty Potty and generics is usually cost-effective once you factor in time saved.
If you’re comparing those channels, think about your total cost: product price, shipping, any import taxes, and the time you’ll spend sourcing and handling potential issues. Buying domestically through Walmart trades a slightly higher unit price in some cases for simpler logistics.
Quick Checklist for Reading Walmart Listings and Reviews
You can make a faster, better decision on Walmart by scanning each listing for a few specifics:
- Model and material. Is it the adjustable 2.0, a fixed curve, bamboo, acrylic, or a generic plastic stool? That tells you which price band you’re in.
- Height and footprint. Confirm the stated height (often 7″ or 7-9″) and check photos to see how far it sticks out from the toilet. Reviewers often mention whether it fits neatly under the bowl.
- Sturdiness comments. Look for repeated mentions of the stool feeling solid or wobbly. These reviews are your best free durability test.
- Value language. Sort reviews by “most helpful” and skim for phrases about being “worth the price” or “overpriced.” They’ll give you a sense of whether a premium material actually feels premium in use.
If you’re buying for resale, add a fifth check: can you consistently buy this SKU in the quantities you need, or would a more flexible marketplace give you better long-term supply? When you reach that question, internal resources on wholesale sourcing and marketplace comparisons within DHgateWiki can help you weigh domestic retail against cross-border options.
