A Squatty Potty is a stool that raises your knees above your hips to put you into a squat-like position when you poop. This posture-changing device claims to help you go more easily and avoid constipation by moving your colon into the ideal position to go without straining. The Squatty Potty puts your body into a natural squat on the toilet, fully loosening the muscle to give you the bowel movement your body was designed for. The makers of Squatty Potty claim that it makes emptying the bowels easier and more comfortable by ensuring the user is squatting, not sitting, at the best angle and reducing strain. The Squatty Potty is recommended by medical professionals across the United States. It is designed for squatting when you poop and is not to be used as a step.
