The family is from St George, Utah, a high-desert town where 70% of the 80,000 residents are Mormons like Judy – not the sort of folks who gossip about their bodily emissions on a regular basis. “She’s a believer, she’s super faithful, she goes to temple every Sunday,” Bobby said of his mother. “That was an interesting dynamic when we were creating this. We embarrassed her a lot.” (This wasn’t so much of a problem for him, Bobby added; he left the church at 17, when he came out as gay.) One local woman told Judy she should be ashamed of what she was producing. Most toilet stools are white, plain and rather utilitarian looking. In general, they are to be kept at the foot of your toilet, but some stools can be folded down and stored away too. When it comes to the way toilet stools look many people are simply looking for something that does the job. However, there are other styles and designs available too.Is there a right way to poo, and can the angle at which you defecate impact your gut health? The Squatty Potty arrived on UK shores last year with bold ambitions to change the face of pooing as we know it. Rumour has it that residents of the Western Hemisphere have been doing it all wrong for hundreds of years, leading to gut related health conditions including haemorrhoids. With a Squatty Potty toilet stool your bowel will empty more effectively, more easily and more fully! No straining, pushing or laxatives - just as nature intended An independent study by the Ohio State University proved the efficacy of using a toilet stool. Of the healthy adult participants, 71% reported a noticeable reduction in the time they spent on the toilet, with an incredible 90% saying they experienced a noticeable reduction in the need to strain. The Squatty Potty was born in similarly unfortunate circumstances. “I was constipated my whole life,” Judy Edwards, the Squatty Potty co-creator, admitted in 2016. For a long time, she had been using a little footstool in the bathroom. “We’d teased her about it for years, about this stupid poop stool she’d bring on vacation,” her son Bobby told me. But the footstool wasn’t quite right, so one day, after Bobby, who was working as a building contractor, started taking design classes, Judy asked him to take a look at it. “She took me to the bathroom and she showed me how it worked, and as she was sitting there explaining it to me, it’s like a light went on in my head,” Bobby said. People’s reluctance to embrace the Squatty Potty wasn’t helped by the fact that the Edwardses promoted it at the local trade show with a skeleton on a toilet. (Although the Squatty Potty itself is designed to be as discreet as possible – the standard, white plastic version almost blends away into the colourless expanse of many modern bathrooms – the marketing could never afford to be minimalist.) But friends and family to whom the Edwardses had gifted Squatty Potties where pleasantly surprised by the stools, so Bobby and Judy carried on. St George might not have been ready for the Squatty Potty, but it was about to make a bigger splash than they could ever have imagined.

The recorded history of human defecation can be read as a series of attempts at differentiation: how do we separate our excrement from our bodies, our sewage from our homes and cities? How do we keep the sounds and smells of our bodily functions from infesting other people’s senses? How do we enforce social hierarchies by dividing the bodies of the powerful from the bodies of the oppressed? If you're on board with the idea of getting a toilet stool, but aren't keen on how the plastic ones look, you might prefer this Toilet Squatting Stool by H-risen. Made from sturdy wood panels, it has an elegant design with a carved rose motif.

Most toilet stools have non-slip rubber or silicone feet as standard, particularly on those made from plastic. Although not absolutely necessary for everyone, if you have a mobility issue that makes sitting in a squat position difficult, non-slip feet can provide you with added stability and comfort. In many parts of the world, people sit in a deep squat to rest, pray, cook, share a meal and use the toilet. However, in the UK, we find ourselves constantly sitting in an upright position, with many of us not only considering squatting to be undignified, but uncomfortable too. But did you know that many experts believe that squatting may be beneficial for our health? If you're looking for the perfect fold-away toilet stool, the Porta Traveller by Squatty Potty might be right for you. Featured on both Shark Tank and The Howard Stern Show in the US, this convenient little tool has finally made it over to us in the UK!
