Optimal elimination shouldn’t be confined to your home. When you’re traveling, maintaining your digestive health can be challenging, and toilet posture is often overlooked. The Squatty Potty Travel stool, also known as Porta-Squatty™, is designed for nomads and frequent travelers, ensuring you can enjoy the benefits of squatting for a more comfortable and complete bathroom experience wherever you are.

The Importance of Squatting Posture, Even When Traveling
Our bodies are naturally designed to squat for effective bowel movements. The modern western toilet, while convenient, puts us in a seated position that can hinder this natural process. This seated posture creates a kink in the colon, making elimination less efficient and potentially leading to straining and discomfort. This issue doesn’t disappear when you travel; in fact, changes in diet, routine, and unfamiliar bathrooms can exacerbate digestive issues on the road.
How Squatting Works for Easier Elimination
In simple terms, your body has a natural bend in the colon that helps to control bowel movements. The seated position on a standard toilet accentuates this bend, creating a blockage. The Squatty Potty Travel stool works by elevating your feet, mimicking a natural squatting position. This straightens out the colon, releasing the kink and allowing for a smoother, more complete, and less strained elimination.
