This stool can help you poop faster without straining, which is especially helpful for people who get hemorrhoids.
There aren't many studies on the health impacts of using a Squatty Potty, but physicians have argued that allowing more room for poop to pass through the anorectal canal means less straining, which means fewer hemorrhoids.
Even if you don't get hemorrhoids, having a Squatty Potty will definitely speed up the pooping process which, everyone can appreciate.
There's no more sitting back and relaxing when it comes to doing your daily dookie. You need to bare down on your heels and lean forward to get your hips at an acute angle.
The squatting position spreads your cheeks and exposes the perianal area (the skin around your anus) so you'll have easy access to get your bum nice and clean.
Just apply a few drops of toilet bowl cleaner to a soft, clean rag and wipe the stool down.
Tall or less flexible people will feel more comfortable with the shorter 7 inch stool, while kids will most likely need the 9 inch stool. The Potty Pets Cub is almost twice as tall as the standard 7 inch size and the adjustable stool has a topper that adds an extra two inches, making it great for your family's smallest members.
