Why use Squatty Potty Ecco Toilet Stool?

There is a bend in our digestive tracts between the rectum and anus in an upright position, which stops us from pooping. It is similar to a bend in a garden hose that stops the flow of water. When sitting on the toilet seat, with knees at a right angle, our puborectalis muscle (the muscle responsible for continence) relaxes only partially.

Thanks Mom!! Happy Mother’s Day!!

Let’s face it, without our moms where would we be? It was our moms that kissed our boo-boos, baked our cookies, and took care of us as we grew up. The least we could do is honor our moms every second Sunday of May, so make it a point to give your mother a big hug and kiss and a thank you for all her sacrifices.

The main is reason is because they’re afraid of either slipping or falling in the bathroom, mainly because they do not have complete control of their motor functions.

Heavy Supporting Benches

Many a times, the average bath safety benches, stools, or adjustable chairs are not sturdy and strong enough to handle pressure or weight. They are not heavy duty and might slip themselves if there is a lot of weight applied to the average chair.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: garbage in, garbage out. While it is normally used for computers, the same can be said for our nutrition.
