No more straining to go to the loo! Brilliant

I have some very good advice for everyone! I was having problems passing stools! I often had to use suppository's. Well no more. When sitting on the toilet. Have a stool! Put your feet on the stool this puts your rectum in the right place for the stool to literally pop out with no straining at all!! It has changed my life. I no longer worry and do not have to sit straining! I hope this is a help for a lot of you. XX

This just made me smile!! Using a stool to help move the stool LOL! You all know what I mean though. LOL

hi, for more than a year I have been using a "squat n go" toilet stool and must say it's helpful.

[Pleesee in reply to Meleber]

Don't laugh but if you have a large bleach bottle that is the same height as a stool and you can perch your feet on that. It really works.

[Meleber in reply to Pleesee]

Yes, it's about getting your knees 'high' enough but without getting uncomfortable

[Maureen1958]

Just curious, how high is your stool from the ground?

[Pleesee in reply to Maureen1958]

1 foot it really works. Good luck.

[Maureen1958 in reply to Pleesee]

Oh! that is high. I tried one some years ago (it was about 7 inches) and it seemed a bit high for me, and I didn't get on with it at all. But I am quite tall. Glad it's working for you though.

[Pleesee in reply to Maureen1958]

Basically as long as your rectum pointing dead straight into the loo you should be fine literally no straining it works. 😀

[Meleber in reply to Maureen1958]

My toilet stool is 7 inches high.

[Hidden]

Yes I’ve been doing this it does help 🤣x

[Iggls]

I have 2 folding stools, which travel with me if we go away, invaluable. Sadly I still need suppositories, Senna and weekly Picolax, so you are very lucky indeed !

[Pleesee]

Yes, I feel I am very lucky.

[Bartzgirl]

Thank you, I will definitely be trying this. It is the pain of my life at the moment. Xx

[Pleesee in reply to Bartzgirl]

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good luck XX

[Eme91]

That’s right especially your left foot

[DaveRochester]

Excellent! I had not thought of that and I will try it if I ever have trouble passing stools.

[Pleesee in reply to DaveRochester]

It is good to know and makes perfect sense! gravity is the answer. I just want to help.

[miniione1224]

We brought the Squatty Potty about a year ago,it is helpful indeed🙂

[nickibmobile]

We have a folding stool which my daughter finds very helpful but I do not 🙁 I'm very happy for those it does work for though

[Kdw1]

I use my daughters foot stool to go to the toilet she can reach the sink herself now so it benefits me more lol definitely a helpful position.

[Ruby1]

I've often thought I must be an odd shape or something, but for me I have more luck if I stand more upright. A beneficial side effect is strengthened quads for when I go skiing 😂 ... not that that will happen again....

[Pleesee in reply to Ruby1]

Oh my you stand up to take a crap. LOL! Does it work??

[Ruby1 in reply to Pleesee]

Not usually, but if I'm having problems then I find getting more upright is helpful. Almost like I've got gravity helping me. It was the same when I gave birth - I wanted to be more upright. I'm obviously odd 😂 Mind you - the French toilets use that stance don't they?

[Ronnie6917]

Yes I have one too - apparently a more natural squatting position They do work 😊
