Despite being conditioned to believe sitting is the most natural way to go to the loo, the truth is very different. Indeed, as humans we are designed to squat, which is why our ancestors did it for hundreds of years. In fact, in many parts of the world, people still do. So, although our ‘Western’ style toilets may seem more civilised and convenient, they are actually compromising our health!

The science behind the Go Better Toilet Stool

In order to retain full control over our bowel movements, the colon bends downwards towards the rectum. This bend is referred to as the anorectal angle and is maintained by the puborectalis muscle looping around the colon like a sling. For waste to travel into the rectum, the puborectalis muscle must loosen so that the anorectal angle/bend straightens. Although sitting slightly relaxes this muscle, squatting loosens it completely, creating a straight passageway for faeces to pass through with ease. As a result, straining is thought to be three times greater whilst sitting, with the narrow anorectal angle making it difficult to completely empty the bowel.

Straining on the toilet can lead to various health issues, including haemorrhoids (piles), prolapse and diverticulitis. In addition, incomplete elimination can cause a build-up of bacteria and potentially result in colon disease. The Go Better Bamboo Toilet Stool has been expertly designed to replicate the squatting position, thereby ensuring full, complete and comfortable elimination without the need for straining!
