Clinically proven to reduce straining on the loo, the Squatty Potty Banboo Flip perfectly positions your colon for full & complete elimination
Studies have shown that, despite the design of the ‘Western’ style toilet, squatting is the optimum position for ridding our bodies of waste. Indeed, positioning ourselves in this way eradicates the need for straining and facilitates easy and effective elimination. This, therefore, reduces the risk of a variety of unpleasant and uncomfortable health issues, including haemorrhoids (piles), prolapse and diverticulitis. In addition, using a Squatty Potty dramatically reduces our risk of contracting colon disease, as it prevents a build up of bacteria that may occur as a result of incomplete elimination.
In order for us to maintain full control over our bowel movements, the colon features a ‘kink’ or ‘bend’ before descending towards the rectum. This ‘bend’ is known as the anorectal angle and is held in place by what is known as the puborectalis muscle. For elimination to occur, the anorectal angle must be relaxed or ‘straightened’, which can only happen with the loosening of the puborectalis muscle. Sitting down on the toilet slightly relaxes the muscle, reducing the angle of the of the anorectal ‘kink’ and creating a marginally straighter passageway. However, squatting relaxes the puborectalis muscle completely, creating a completely straight pathway that negates the need for pushing or straining and ensures all waste is eliminated effortlessly.
It is thought that straining is three times greater when sitting as opposed to squatting. The Squatty Potty Bamboo Flip enables you to adopt the optimum squatting position when going to the toilet and, because it is adjustable between 7 and 9 inches, it is customisable for each user!
