I started doing yoga when I was 13 and learned very early on the benefit of a yogic squat, specifically how it helps digestion. I have always had great digestion (as far as elimination goes, but I am still working on improving absorption) and I wondered if it was because of my daily yoga practice.
Watching the video on SquattyPotty.com and learning how the colon’s shape is based on what seated position you are in made it so much more clear why the squat position is better.
The few times I have been constipated, I would get off the toilet and get into a squat position to help things move through. And truth be told, I have even squatted on the toilet! I have good balance. 
When I found out about this product, I was so excited! I really wanted an option other than standing on my toilet and squatting!
I love this product and I am so happy to find that my digestion has improved even more. I get more poop out, have less gas, and my belly feels flatter after I go.
Check out Nourish & Love Episode 2 for more info on how this contraption works and what I think about it!
Two of my other writers, Becky and Cassandra, also tried out the Squatty Potty. Here is their take:
Becky says, First off, who doesn’t love the name Squatty Potty? It’s much cuter than calling it my caca contraption which it most definitely has become. I’m 26 weeks pregnant and I’ve been using my Squatty Potty since I was 20 weeks.
As a pregnant mama-to-be, the Squatty Potty has been a godsend during the times when I have asked myself “Poo, Gas, or Baby kicking?” before using the toilet. Positioning into a relaxed squat on the pot immediately answers that for me. It also puts pressure on my colon so I don’t need to strain my enlarged abdomen or spark a nasty hemorrhoid while doing the doody.
Cassandra says, I have been cursed with both hemorrhoids and a dislocated tailbone after giving birth 2 years ago. Bowel movements have been incredibly painful to say the least. I had actually seen a video about the Squatty Potty while I was still pregnant, but disregarded the concept as I saw many people suggest that leaning forward or using a regular stool would produce the same result. They were wrong and bathroom breaks have continued to end in agony for 2 years.
The Squatty Potty did not disappoint. Although it wasn’t a miracle worker for my hemos, it did eliminate the tailbone pain and ceased to make my hemorrhoids worse, which at least has given them time to heal. In fact, when I visited family for a week, I actually missed my stool and was so thrilled to get home and use it again. The only thing I wish the company would do is make a compact travel version!

I’d love to win a Squatty Potty (I’ve subscribed to everything!) I have always had inconsistent bowel movements and when I was younger, I dealt with terrible constipation. In order to get things movin’ I’d squat on the floor too! Right now, I have a little stool in the bathroom but it’s not Squatty Potty, I find myself tip-toeing to get into more of a squat. It really is the most natural way to poop!

Hi I subscribed to your youtube channel and would love to win a bamboo squatty potty! I really enjoyed your video about organic beauty products. Love the suggestion for Coola sunscreen. I’ve been looking for a good one. I will try it out.
Also really like how you put priority on to first eating healthy, organic food before beauty products. Nice! Thanks for putting out such healthy, positive info!
Reading this post has made me feel less of a weirdo. I suffer from digestive issues specificlly the releasing portion. One day as i was in the bathroom just sitting there, as with this condition i do lots of i looked down and saw the unopened pack of toilet paper and don’t ask me why but i thought it would be a great idea to place it below my feet while i waited. To my surprise it helped with my issue , i didnt know why but it did so i continued to do so always feeling a bit strange untill now. It would be great to have a squatty potty i would be a sort of redemption not to mention i won’t look as strange lol .

I was so excited to come across your post and learn about the Squatty Potty. As a Registered Massage Therapist who has a regular practice based around treating many visceral complaints this is an item I will recommend to my patients.
During my first pregnancy I had terrible constipation. I am now 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and LOVE the idea of having a squatty potty.
I have subscribed to your youtube channel and look forward to reading more. Thanks for sharing!
