Is there even a right way to poop?
Just sitting, such as on a chair, is not the ideal position for pooping. The most recommended way is to keep your knees level with your hips in a position similar to squatting, with your stomach closer to your legs.
However, it is recommended not to squat on the toilet as this position can lead to accidents. such as imbalance, falls and even cracks in the ceramic.
Use a footstool to do this. It doesn't necessarily have to be a special bench for the bathroom you can also rest your feet on other objects, such as a shoebox. The most important thing is to keep it at a height where the knee is above the hip, creating the perfect angle for the poop to come out so it can slide more easily.
This is even a great option for those who suffer from constipation. The position causes relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and the pubic bone muscles. The result is that you have to use less force when defecating, which also helps prevent problems like anal fissures and even hemorrhoids.
