First of all, let’s get this out of the way. YOU are not the problem! You’re not doing anything wrong yourself, but rather the way in which we traditionally position ourselves on the toilet is WRONG.
The Standard Stance
Because of the positioning, your puborectalis muscle doesn’t make the connection that you’re on the toilet, and therefore chokes off your rectum.
Rectum? Damn Near Killed ‘Em!
This isn’t just going to cause you to spend more time on the toilet pushing but can lead to serious health issues, such as hernia, inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, diverticulosis and hemorrhoids — definitely all things that should be avoided if possible! Which it totally is!
Looks Comfortable, Doesn’t It?
According to the science people, specifically those at Stanford University’s Pelvic Floor Clinic, by assuming more of a squatting position, we are able to relax that pesky puborectalis muscle, allowing us an easier bowel movement.
What Now?
The next question you’ll likely be asking is, “Do I need to squat to poop for the rest of my life?” Nope. There’s actually a technique you can integrate right now, just check on the next page!
Now That’s Some Crappy Science!
Back in 2003, a study was conducted to evaluate how posture would impact different people’s bathroom experience. Participants were divided into three separate groups, which I can only hope were known as Poop Group’s A, B, and Z (but I doubt they were, scientists are lame!).
Perfect Pooping Position
The study determined, in what I can only imagine were the world’s most awkward observational situations, that rather than the 90 degree angle of a standard toilet, squatting at 35 degrees is the ideal position for effective, healthy pooping. Additionally, the position really makes wiping a breeze!
Behold, Our Savior
It’s the Squatty Potty! Not only is it practical but damn if it isn’t fun to say! Try it, I’ll wait…
Here’s How It Works
Happy Trails Friend, And Happy Pooping
There you have it everybody, assume this new squatting position and you’ll be as happy pooping as this guy is (despite his poor posture, jeez!). Spread the word, tell your friends, tell the whole world, it’s time we took charge and made number two work for us again!
