May one sit on a toilet during Tisha B'Av, when sitting on chairs is generally forbidden? Are there any requirements that he hurry up as much as possible?

I heard some people but something under there feet so that it will not be the "forbidden" height, something like this tekspree.com/sharktank-squatty-potty-7-inch/… – hazoriz Jul 19 '15 at 2:05

Rav Shumel Kamentzky, cited in sefer Kovetz Halachos pg 231, writes that a nursing woman or someone riding a bus may sit, because it is a necessary thing and not done out of enjoyment.
Sitting on the toilet is a need and not meant for enjoyment and should be the same.
