Salina Lee, assistant professor of gastroenterology at Rush University, phone interview, January 29, 2021 Once you’ve tried Squatty Potty you’ll wonder how you ever managed to go to the loo before. Get one for each bathroom and the whole family will feel the benefits of a more natural number two! With a Squatty Potty toilet stool your bowel will empty more effectively, more easily and more fully! No straining, pushing or laxatives - just as nature intended Many doctors, physical therapists and osteopaths believe that being able to sit in a deep squat is an important form of active rest and that we should be able to do it if we want to remain healthy throughout our lives. Sitting in a squat keeps our joints lubricated, which not only makes us more mobile, but helps us to feel more energetic. Shitting, like death, is a great leveller. It renders beluga caviar indistinguishable from tinned ham, a duchess as creaturely as a dog. Even God’s only son may be transformed by the act: the stercoranistes, an early Christian sect, believed in a double transubstantiation, Christ into the communion wafer, and thence into dung. Though at different times and places the excrement of certain personages – be they the Dalai Lama or those with “healthy” gut biomes – has been revered for its healing powers, shit itself is a strict egalitarian. Faecal-borne disease knows no kings; cholera can kill anyone.

If not faulty, for hygiene reasons, some items such as pillows, bedding and underwear etc. cannot be returned unless it is faulty, you can find the full list of excluded products here. We know that what we eat has a profound impact on the health of our gut and poo habits, particularly dietary fibre. Most toilet stools are white, plain and rather utilitarian looking. In general, they are to be kept at the foot of your toilet, but some stools can be folded down and stored away too. When it comes to the way toilet stools look many people are simply looking for something that does the job. However, there are other styles and designs available too. If you're on board with the idea of getting a toilet stool, but aren't keen on how the plastic ones look, you might prefer this Toilet Squatting Stool by H-risen. Made from sturdy wood panels, it has an elegant design with a carved rose motif. Since its inception in the US, the Squatty Potty has been helping unwitting members of the public to achieve the 'right' angle while going to the toilet. The makers suggest that by using the simple foot stool to create a semi-squat position on the toilet, this effectively unfurls the colon, giving your faeces a clearer run to its destination.

There are lots of things to like about this Folding Toilet Stool from Pukkr, but we particularly like its ability to fold-away after use. Made from lightweight plastic in a compact design, this stool is super portable and easy to store. Gill is on the fence about the health benefits of squatting. 'If you don’t have any problems going to the toilet, being in the squatting position will do you no harm, but it’s probably not adding any additional benefit either!' she says. 'Actually, going to the toilet the standard way still creates a reasonable angle without the squatting.' A healthy poo is generally a medium brown colour, but certain foods or medications can change its colour temporarily!

We consulted four small-space experts to help you decide what to buy (and not buy) to optimize your small apartment.People’s reluctance to embrace the Squatty Potty wasn’t helped by the fact that the Edwardses promoted it at the local trade show with a skeleton on a toilet. (Although the Squatty Potty itself is designed to be as discreet as possible – the standard, white plastic version almost blends away into the colourless expanse of many modern bathrooms – the marketing could never afford to be minimalist.) But friends and family to whom the Edwardses had gifted Squatty Potties where pleasantly surprised by the stools, so Bobby and Judy carried on. St George might not have been ready for the Squatty Potty, but it was about to make a bigger splash than they could ever have imagined. Easier, more complete toileting and elimination, no laxatives, no straining just natural positioning safely for maximum bowel emptying.
