         7 . The toilet footrest of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the first support member or the third support member is formed substantially parallel to a ground. 
     
     
         8 . The toilet footrest of  claim 7 , wherein the first support member is formed to be slightly inclined with respect to the ground based on a bending angle of the front portion of the user's sole 
     
     
         9 . The toilet footrest of  claim 3 , wherein the first support member comprises an anti-slipping bump to prevent the front portion of the user's sole from slipping. 
     
     
         10 . The toilet footrest of  claim 3 , wherein each of the left footrest and the right footrest further comprises a height adjustment layer coupled to a lower end of a base layer, on which the first support member, the second support member, and the third support member are disposed, to adjust a height at which the user's foot is placed. 
     
     
         11 . The toilet footrest of  claim 10 , wherein the height adjustment layer is provided in a plural number, and the height adjustment layers are coupled to the lower end of the base layer. 
     
     
         12 . The toilet footrest of  claim 10 , wherein the coupling groove is vertically coupled to a groove formed in an outer wall of the height adjustment layer. 
     
     
         13 . The toilet footrest of  claim 1 , wherein each of the left footrest and the right footrest further comprises a slipping preventing member coupled to a bottom surface of each of the left footrest and the right footrest to prevent the left footrest and the right footrest from slipping. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet footrest of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting frame comprises at least one frame to adjust at least one of a width or an angle between the left footrest and the right footrest. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet footrest of  claim 14 , wherein the connecting frame comprises a plurality of frames, and the frames are hinge-coupled to each other.
