Squatting proper position for using bathroom?
Monday, July 3, 2017 4:31 AM
I think this topic was posted before, I don't see a search button. Anyway I've seen a YouTube video of a woman climbing up on a us style toilet with her feet on top of he toilet seat and then squatting with clothes on just to demonstrate what she called the proper position. She even linked a link showing how bowels empty better in a squatting position. Then you hear we are doing it all wrong by sitting down.
It looks like she was endangering everyone watching her video with the risk of falling off the toilet and breaking bones.
I have a solution that is much safer and s how to use western toilets to squat. Sit down on the seat. Lean over towards your legs as much as you can. If you notice, your bottom will be in a squatting position to easily empty your bowels. No risk of falling off the toilet seat either.
This morning I saw something advertised on tv as well. I think some people don't think or go crazy. The woman in the video didn't use toilet paper either. She had a hose down area. Might work if you are mostly clean already and never use public restrooms. Just a public service message in case someone tells you we are doing it all wrong in the west. Just lean over into a squatting position and you bottom is squatting and you don't have to worry about falling off the toilet breaking a bone.
Got something to say?
