THESE DAYS, PEOPLE have ‘hacks’ for everything. Kitchen hacks, beauty hacks, and now poo hacks.
Yes. Poo hacks.
“But do I really need to hack my poo?” we hear you ask. Well, according to the fervent supporters of the Squatty Potty, you do.
The Squatty Potty is a stool-like device you fit around the base of your toilet, place your feet on, and well, poo.
The idea is that adopting a squatting position on the toilet makes “elimination” easier – allow Prince Charming and a pooping unicorn to explain:
Sceptical? You won’t be after you read the overwhelmingly positive Amazon reviews. People are raving about it with cultish fervour. The cult of the Squatty Potty.
“Deeply satisfied.”
I purchased it for my husband and he is deeply satisfied with it. He said “It’s worth a sh**.”
“I use less toilet paper now.”
Let’s put it this way… I use less toilet paper now. It’s amazing what a proper dump in the morning can do for the human soul.
“Would recommend to a friend or celebrity.”
A rare Squatty Potty hipster:
Guests used to make fun of me for having this… Then all of a sudden they are talking about how they heard it endorsed by a celebrity and it’s cool now. Sigh. I really like it. Would recommend to a friend or celebrity.
“This is a game changer.”
I’m often prone to exaggeration but not in this case… This is a game changer. I’m going to eat a block of cheese today and tonight really put it through a proper stress test.
“CHANGED MY LIFE.”
