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:

“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.”

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.”

Amazon Amazon

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.”
