We really are so fortunate here in the west with our indoor plumbing and heated homes and all the modern conveniences, including the wonderful food we get from all over the world. After trying to live at a developing world standard its amazing how seemingly little things like running water and TP feels like luxuries.
 
I think that it is time to go back to the thread on lipstick... :D

Very very true!! I occasionally remember to be grateful for what we have - clean water, hot showers, a washing machine, reliable electricity, etc etc., after having to live without all that.
 
Well, I decided to try to emulate that gadget by placing something under my feet while I was sitting on the commode. Ain't going to happen. I ended up with a cramp and burning sensations going down my legs. Yeah, I know, I need to do my leg exercises, but, that was not a comfortable position and it sure wasn't conducive to viewing my reading materials. So fagetaboutit. Maybe if they come up with a potty that reclines and has some stirrups on the side, I might give it a go.
 
LOLLLLLLLLL!! "fagetaboutit" LOLLLLLLLLLLL!! Hey, you can find anything on the internet, so I'm off to look for "Reclining Toity" w/stirrup option!!

I've heard and read for years that squatting is healthier than sitting.

That's why I always bring a large cat into the bathroom with me.

Plus, a special stool just for you Phil, and this one helps you get "in the mood" and for best results, crank up the volume:

Oh, those poor goldfish! 20 times a day they have a rapid low tide followed by an equally rapid high tide!

The stool is cool!

As for the audio link ...

"What the ears have once heard, they cannot unhear".

Thank you!

This is a very old thread (2014) but I decided to revive it rather than start my own thread.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've always believed that our bodies were designed to squat low when eliminating. I don't know why toilet manufacturers don't make one that is lower to the ground. So, recently I bought a squatty potty at Amazon that I like very much. I do not use that middle portion so I can position the two halves wide apart and can push back besides the toilet and out of the way when I am done. I think people that have constipation problems either do not eat enough fiber or it's because they sit on the toilet with their knees together and that makes the ''cheeks'' squeeze together.

They stole this idea from the Muslims, who squat to go to the bathroom while remaining silent. I think some Chinese, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Africans and Europeans also squat. I also believe that I read somewhere that Muslims don’t use toilet paper. I’ll stick to the old fashioned way. I haven’t encountered any problems with that part yet.

Go to my link and look at the third picture on the left. Not trying to persuade you, just pointing out, you're in the medical field and can make up your own mind.

Re Muslims not using toilet paper, I've heard they use their left hand to clean themselves so as to keep their right hand clean for eating. What DID people use before the invention of toilet paper, anyway? Ugh!

OK, but I don’t have any issues with going, so why would I change? I believe that this is another gadget invented to get your money. If I did want a block to prop my feet on, I can make something that will do that and not spend the money, but for now, I don’t need any help, but thanks.

Yep!

The first time my wife was in Paris while we were sitting having coffee at a sidewalk cafe she went to find the bathroom. After a bit, she came back and said "It was only a hole!". That was her introduction to how many people in the world go. At least it was porcelain and flushed!
 
yes a lot of public toilets in European countries( Not the UK) are just holes in the floor of a stall.. with feet grips to stop you from slipping but no handles . God help you if you had the runs, you'd never be able to squat for very long... :ROFLMAO::poop:

Just saw the inventors of this stool on the show Shark Tanks, and they did make a deal to sell them on QVC with one of the sharks. I don't think I would ever bother getting one for myself, unless I had a real health issue with constipation, etc. The idea makes sense though, guess these folks have already sold a lot of them. Have you ever heard of these, or know someone who has one?

I took my step stool for a trial run. Not a good idea. It forces you back and nothing like the diagram. To have any value it has to be adjustable.
