Squatting to poop.

I have been promoting the idea of squatting to poop to my family and close friends for over a year now. I started squatting in April 2011 after suffering from a few bouts of hemorrhoids. I was researching a solution and discovering an article on how former President Jimmy Carter dealt with his hemorrhoid problem, by squatting to poop. After reading more about the benefits of squatting and how intestinal\bowel issues are a new crop of diseases, some may argue modern medicine discovered these new issues but I believe they only started after sitting to poop become the norm, squatting to poop began to make more and more sense. So I built a small platform and started squatting. My hemorrhoids problem is gone, my bowel movements are regular, and my overall health has improved. Does anyone else squat to poop? |

Of course! It’s the only healthy way to poop. Our ancestors have been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years! Don’t believe me? Do your research. Next topic: Showering too often and your horny layer. |

Oh man…I do enjoy my time on the throne. I’m not sure I could give that up. How high are you squatting? Doesn’t sitting make it easier…without going into too much detail? |

I’m just imagining slipping whilst mid-squat. I hate cleaning the bathroom at the best of times. |

Ok, dumb question: now that you’re squatting do you still poop in a toilet? I’m kind of short, I don’t think I could squat *over* a toilet so what are my options here? Feet on the sides of the bowl and aim from a distance? Dig a hole in the backyard? At the risk of this topic getting “gross”, can you please elaborate on the specifics of your defecation techniques? |

I definitely just poop while running and walking only. Its more efficient this way. |

@0etzi2011, do you squat outside or inside? Whenever I’m out in the woods or something I LOVE squat pooping but I have yet to really work out a very convenient way of doing it at my home :/ |

@adamd, Do you need a degree of an angle? |

@beyond, haha what? I’m not really sure what you mean. I was just curious, because you said you always squat poop, do you do it indoors or outdoors typically? |

@misterkal, about 8 inches. |

@adamd, inside. I built a platform from scrap wood. I got the height from first squatting and measuring the distance from the floor to my ass. I next measured the height of my toilet and built the platform to that difference. The platform is roughly 8 inches tall. |

@0etzi2011, Interesting, that’s a good idea. I’m gonna have to try and find some scrap wood :D |

@misterkal, They make little stools so you are in a squatting position while sitting on the toilet. Or you could just keep a shoebox under your feet or something. The main thing is the angle of your legs while you have your bowel movement. The closer the knees to the chest, the better for you. |

@0etzi2011, couldnt you just still sit on the toilet and put your feet on a platform (still bent at the knees) to raise your feet up and get the same angle? |

@ijesuschrist, Never let a bowel movement get in the way of important matters! |

What about spraying your ankles and heels with explosive diarrhea? Any concerns about that? |

Ahhhh I do this all the time when I am backed up! I sit on the toilet regularly but I put my feel up on the rim and wrap my arms around my legs. It helps a lot. I think this is a great idea and everybody should know about it. |

In China many toilets are like this: http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/float356.img_assist_custom.jpg I’ve heard many westerns to suggest that this is Asian backwardness… So I’m glad to read this post and noticed that actually chinese are far ahead avoiding hemorrhoids! :D |
