Squatty Potty Ecco | The Original Bathroom Toilet Stool | 9 Inch | White | Puts Your Body in Optimal Natural Squatting Position

Product Information

It is only when we squat, lifting our knees higher than our hips, that the anorectal angle is straightened and the puborectalis muscle releases the rectum, allowing complete defecation.

Sitting in a squat keeps our joints lubricated, which not only makes us more mobile, but helps us to feel more energetic. Squatty Potty is a simple but effective aid that helps you to achieve the optimal squatting position when using the loo.

It's 8 inches tall with rubberised feet to prevent slippage, and the compact design slots against the toilet neatly when not in use. Some people can adapt straight away, whereas for others it may take a while for the knees and ankles to relax into this new position.

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.One theory has it that the pain from a thrombosed haemorrhoid was so distracting that it cost Napoleon the battle of Waterloo.
