Description

The SquattyPotty takes our bathroom habits back to basics and encourages the natural squatting position which is kind to our body.

Sitting on the loo does not allow our bodies to come out of contienence mode and go into elimination mode. The puborectalis muscle surrounds and chokes the rectum to prevent waste from exiting when it shouldn’t, and it’s only when we squat that the muscle completely relaxes and allows natural waste elimination. When the body stays in continence mode we end up straining to force faeces past the puborectalis muscle, and this causes damage in a number of ways.

Excessive straining puts pressure on the blood vessels surrounding the rectum which can lead to haemorrhoids. It also puts pressure on the pelivc floor, causing it to weaken and lead to bladder weakness. Plus, excessive straining will eventually cause the puborectalis muscle to become weak, which may lead to lfaecal incontinence.

Another effect of sitting on the loo is the inability to completely empty the bowel of all waste. This means that faeces remains in the bowel which can cause a build-up and result in uncomfortable constipation. Not only that, but faeces can cause irritation and infection if it remains in the bowel for too long, so IBS, appendicitis, bowel disease and even bowel cancer could be the result of sitting on the toilet and failing to clear the bowels completely.

SquattyPotty is uniquely designed to lift the feet up so that the knees are raised higher than the hips when sat on the loo. This opens up the rectum and allows gravity to do it’s work on the waste; elimination is easier and more complete. There’s no need to strain and each bowel movement is efficient so no faecal matter is left in the bowel to cause any damage.
