What's A Squat Toilet And Should You Get One For Your Bathroom?
By CLAIRE DANGALAN
Unlike sitting toilets, squat toilets have a hole in the ground or a slightly raised platform with footrests, and users squat over the hole or platform to do their business.
Having a squat toilet in your bathroom has many health benefits. Squatting is a more natural position for complete evacuation, as it aligns the rectum for smoother
bowel movements.
Consequently, squat toilets can help prevent constipation and hemorrhoids. They also promote better bowel movement mechanics and general colon health.
Additionally, squatting reduces the risk of pelvic floor disorders compared to sitting toilets, as it minimizes strain on the pelvic muscles. So, consider getting a squat toilet.
