SUMMIT, N.J., Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aterian, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATER), a consumer products company, today announced the launch of Squatty Potty Wipes, the Company's flagship entry into the consumable products market.

Made with 100% plant-based fibers, Squatty Potty wipes leave you feeling fresh and clean, and are flushable and septic safe when flushed according to packaging instructions. The stylish design matches any bathroom décor, and we even offer an On-The-Go travel pouch which fits easily into a purse, gym bag, or glove compartment, providing easy and convenient on-the-go hygiene.
