Squatty Potty anyone?

What exactly were you looking for when you found that TVC?

How about a drop and plop?

Or a log launcher?

The production team on "Dragon's Den" missed a trick by not getting some poor sap on to try and get funding for marketing the squatty potty.
The Dragons would have torn the victim up for some much needed ar5e paper.

It was on the US version. It got funded.

The truth about poo: we’re doing it wrong

“1.2 billion people around the world who squat have almost no incidence of diverticulosis and fewer problems with piles. We in the west, on the other hand, squeeze our gut tissue until it comes out of our bottoms.”

I must admit that on the very rare occasions when I have been "caught short" out in the wild and have been forced to take shelter in dense woodland (the joys of cycle camping and/or being a part time trucker), squatting does give a more satisfactory "emptying" (sorry, no pics available) . That was the way nature intended; but I don't see how that position can be replicated on modern porcelain - even with the aid of the "squatty potty". Yer bum will still be an unnatural distance from yer ankles .

I can only assume the product is marketed as an improvement, rather than a full, authentic replacement for a squat toilet.

Rochdale almost got some public squat toilets (nile pans), but after being installed, it was reported they would be ripped out, never having been used!

Do not knock it until you try one, as likely the only owner of one on here I speak from experience. To be honest it is the most regular Christmas present I have ever used. Or should that be I have never had a Christmas present I have used more.
