The Squatty Potty – Because You’re Pooing Wrong

Every moment of every day there are millions of people at school, at work, and at home clearing the contents of their bowels. They’re taking a poo using a regular toilet, completely oblivious to the incredible danger to their anus. You might be asking, how can people carry on day in and day out with such reckless behavior?

Until recently, people in North America and much of Europe had only one option for taking a dump; they were forced to sit on toilets like savages, repeatedly damaging their innards and iris like sphincters, all for the sake of a little convenience. That was, of course… until now. Today, I’m pleased to introduce you to The Squatty Potty, a toilet accessory that will make your shitting experience more enjoyable, and less harmful to your battle weary anus.

As you just witness in the video, there’s a lot of science surrounding this. Lots of science, and awkward shitting angles, and what some might call bathroom acrobatics. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to mix my acrobatics and shitting; it always makes such a mess.

Now, some of you might be saying that I’m unfairly taking the piss out of these guys, and perhaps that’s true. After all, people have been shit squatting using squat commodes in other countries for centuries, and their anuses are purported to be the finest on earth. However, anyone who has used one knows that shit gets absolutely everywhere. People are not accustomed to aiming with their brown hole, and the result is usually fountains of brown mess billowing all over the place; shoes, pants… eyes, mouths… nothing is beyond the reach of one’s own feces when using a squat toilet. Is that really what you want to deal with when going to the bathroom each time? I’ll let you be the judge.

  1. I was in South Vietnam in the 60’s and learned this is how the natives take care of business. The toilets are basically holes in the floor, either cast concrete or stone, and are flushed manually with a can or bucket of water for sanitary reasons. They work quite well but for a Westerner it takes getting used to. Remember Asians are fitter and slimmer, now try to imagine the typical American physique doing this on a regular basis.
