Although we have been conditioned to sit upright on the toilet, the reality is that this is not how our bodies are designed to eliminate waste. Indeed, the truth is that squatting is a much more natural and healthy way to do so. So, whilst our ‘Western’ style toilets may be convenient and seem more civilised, they do not necessarily promote the best way to empty our bowels.

THE SCIENCE: the colon bends downwards towards the rectum, which enables us to retain full control over our bowel movements. This is what is referred to as the anorectal angle, and it is sustained by the puborectalis muscle looping around the colon like a sling. The puborectalis muscle must be relaxed in order to straighten the anorectal angle and for waste to be transferred to the rectum. Sitting slightly loosens the muscle; however, squatting on the other hand, completely relaxes the muscle and creates 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 loo can cause a number of health issues, including haemorrhoids (piles), prolapse and diverticulitis. In addition, incomplete elimination can lead to a build of bacteria and lead to colon disease. The Go Better Bamboo Switchable Toilet Stool has been expertly designed to position our bodies perfectly for full, complete and comfortable elimination without the need for straining!

Why Choose Bamboo?

Reduce your plastic usage and protect our planet with an item made from bamboo! Not only does bamboo ooze richness, warmth, and luxurious grain detail, it is eco-friendly, re-useable, biodegradable, and sustainable. Indeed, a bamboo plant can be regrown to full maturity in a fraction of the time it takes a hardwood tree to do the same. In addition, when your bamboo product eventually comes to the end of its life, it can be used as kindling or added to your compost heap. Strong, durable, and long-lasting, bamboo is an ideal alternative to wood or plastic, and it will cost you less, both monetarily and ecologically.
