Truth be told, my Squatty Potty changed my life! I wish I could give whoever invented that thing a big hug. 

Even if you don't have endometriosis, I recommend you use a Squatty Potty. Squatty Potty promotes a healthy poop and pelvic floor. 

Now, you may be saying "Aubrey, I poop just fine. I don't need a Squatty Potty." 

Actually, you do. You may not feel like you're straining or having issues pooping, but the way we sit on the toilet isn't natural and can negatively affect our bodies when eliminating waste. 

The modern toilet design causes a "kink in the tunnel" as Squatty Potty says on their website. This tunnel refers to your colon which holds your poop in place until you are ready to go. While sitting on the toilet your colon is still being restricted, making in difficult to go comfortably. The modern toilet creates a need for more pushing and straining, which is no bueno. 

Toilets are a newer invention, our ancestors squatted to poop for centuries.  Squatty Potty helps put your body into this more natural squatting position that our ancestors used to poop in. 

While squatting you relax your pelvic floor muscles and unwind your colon so that you can have a healthy poop. 

Now that we talked about how great the Squatty Potty product is, let's talk about why it's so good for people with endometriosis. 

As I said above, squatting relaxes your pelvic floor muscles. Many people with endometriosis suffer from pelvic pain and may be in pelvic floor physical therapy as a result. The pelvic floor needs a lot of tender love and care, the Squatty Potty is just another way to provide it with that. 

The Squatty Potty can also help reduce cramping and bloating which are common symptoms of endometriosis. It makes pooping much easier for those with tense and overactive pelvic floor muslces. 

If you have endometriosis, it's time to get a Squatty Potty! 

If you don't have endometriosis, it's time to get a Squatty Potty!
