Throne for midlife
Throne is a health sensor for your toilet. It tracks your stool, hydration and bathroom visits at home, day and night, automatically. See what’s changed, test what helps, and bring a clear record to your next appointment.
Sound familiar?
Research suggests shifting hormones affect more than hot flashes. Many women notice changes in digestion, hydration and bathroom habits through perimenopause and after.
Why it happens
Research suggests estrogen and progesterone influence how quickly things move through your gut and how sensitive it feels. In a study that followed women through the transition, bloating tended to be more intense during perimenopause.
Studies don’t all agree on how menopause affects the gut microbiome; a 2026 meta-analysis found no consistent differences. That’s one more reason to learn your own patterns.
Bladder changes are among the most common midlife experiences, and many women never mention them. In one study of women aged 40 to 50, needing the bathroom was the most common reason for waking at night (81%), well ahead of feeling too hot (26%).
Starting or changing a medication or supplement, including hormone therapy, can change bathroom habits for some people. Digestive changes are among the most commonly reported effects of GLP-1 medications, especially early on.
Sources: Mulak et al. (2014) and Kamp et al. (2026) on hormones and the gut; Saravinovska et al. (2026) on the microbiome; Jones et al. (2018) on waking at night; FDA prescribing information on GLP-1 medications.
Throne doesn’t diagnose or treat any condition. It shows your patterns against your own baseline so you and your clinician can decide what to do. If you notice blood, fever or severe pain, contact a clinician.
It installs on the rim in seconds. No tools, no plumbing. Fits most standard white toilets with a rim up to 2.25 inches.
It recognizes your phone, or you press your button. Guests aren’t recorded.
Consistency, hydration and visits, compared with your own normal. No samples, no test strips, no logging. Charge it about once a month.
Log bloating in your Journal. Gut Health Coach (beta, opt-in) looks across your history for what your better and worse days have in common: food, alcohol, routine, a treatment change.
How often you go, what time of day, and stool form on the Bristol scale, compared with your own normal. Stool form reflects how fast things move better than frequency alone does.
Throne learns your new baseline, from how often you go to how often you pee, including at night. Real changes stand out, and small blips don’t.
An estimated hydration score from urine concentration at every visit, overnight too. It’s one signal, not a verdict. Log night sweats or a hot day in your Journal and see how your trend compares.

Weeks 1–4
Throne logs every visit on its own. After a month you know your mix: here, 58% of stools in the healthy range, with plenty of loose days.
Week 5
Over the next four weeks, healthy stools rise to 70%. Loose days still show up, so there’s more to learn.
Week 9
Four weeks later, 86% of stools are in the healthy range, up from 58% at the start. Now you know which changes are worth keeping.
Throne shows patterns around changes you log; it doesn’t evaluate medications or tell you whether a treatment works. Some changes won’t show a clear pattern. Always talk to your clinician before changing a prescription.

Clinicians often ask how often, since when, and how much it’s changed. Throne keeps a running log of your visits, including at night, and turns it into an easy-to-read 90-day PDF: stool consistency, frequency, hydration, and daytime vs. nighttime visits. Share it with your gynecologist, menopause specialist, GI doctor, dietitian or pelvic floor PT.
