When I poop, I’ll take my hand and make a “knife hand” and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It’s this weird?

    Can’t say I ever have. I do, however, use a little step stool to put my legs in the crouched position, and a bidet for afterwards. Use some TP to make sure there’s no barnacles, then a a set of rags I keep specifically for drying off the ol’ undercarriage since the TP isn’t going to dry it all.

    Could never get used to the seashells

      The poop stool combined with a bidet has been life changing. How did I go so many years pooping like a savage?

    I learned some time ago that you’re supposed to squat a bit to press into your intestines so that you don’t need to strain yourself. Turns out modern toilets aren’t ideal for that.
