Let’s talk Steam Stools…

Below are visual examples of different steam options.

The stool with legs is a short stool that is basic and functional if you don’t mind sitting in a deeper squat. It requires a full sheet to be wrapped around your lower half and the stool all the way to the floor to hold in the steam.

Next is a fully enclosed steam box that is my favorite and worth investing in. They are expensive because it is a heavy and large size to ship, but it keeps the steam in well and is very comfortable and versatile for all anatomies. Here is a one-stop location where you can shop steam boxes.

As for some cheaper options:

Some pelvic steamers modify chairs to have a hole in the seat…just make sure you don’t use plastic, or plastic fibers like polyester, because heated plastic can release unwanted chemicals. Finding someone to cut an opening into a wooden chair is an option. Taking slats out of a wooden folding chair can work.

There are stainless steel sitz-bath bowls to use on the toilet.

Lastly, there are ways to steam without purchasing any device for sitting.

See the graphic below illustrating positions that don’t require a stool or seat.
