Has Anyone Tried Using A Toilet Stool?
(Newest replies first)

I'm thinking about getting a toilet stool as it's supposed to cause less strain. A site by the name of toiletsolution says it's better for your health and so forth. Has anybody tried one of these things? Do they work? Thank you.

Yes, is really isn't going to change your health, but research has shown that the squatting position helps make it easier to defecate and to more fully defecate. The NIH and most other health organizations even recommend it for pregnant women, to try to prevent strain and the development of hemorrhoids.

I did use one, when I was pregnant and found it helped, a lot. But we are all different. I really don't think you need to buy a special stool, just anything that elevates you into a squatting position should work. (I used a small step stool.)

Does anyone else have any advice that might help?
