    Ok let the flame begin I know I know an awkward subject to bring up but going to see my doctor today so he can take care of the big H bugging my arse...anyways yes I realize TMI but it is the reason for this thread and my internet research on the subject.

    Well I feel I've found something that will help prevent them in the future, but also has other health benefits. These include constipation, colitis, appendicitis and colon cancer. No I didn't say a cure, but a good preventative measure.

    It has even been on the Dr. Oz show, and I know ALL YOU GUYS WATCH DR. Oz, Dr. Phil and OPRAH regularly LOL.

    So I know your curious now (thats ok denial is not just a river in Egypt).

    We of course have to thank our Asian friends for sticking with tradition and not adapting to the north american way of "sit-down" toilets. When I was in Japan I found it awkward and challenging to use the toilets that were floor level and you had to squat over...but i'm sure with practice I'd get better and in turn more fit : )

    In the meantime, if you order them and can't wait I like one womans idea in a video on the site: Her husband kept two paint cans in the bathroom at his work to elevate his feet. Hmmm...

    And no I don't have any affiliation with this company or product, I just want to share a marvellous idea IMHO. I wonder what ABCs Shark Tank would have said about this (namely Kevin O'Leary) and CBCs Dragons Den (Canadian equivalent to Shark Tank, also featuring Kevin).

    That woman is about to make a nasty mess. I hope you remove your pants before you squat.

    Takes guts to break the taboo of potty talk and address the largely neglected topic of toilet posture.

    I know it is a tangent, but it reminds me of this video.

    That squat thing looks like it could get your ass stuck in the toilet

    Why not just install an eastern style squat toilet? Those are proven to be much healthier.

    That's the one.

    The only problem is that you have to take your pants off to use the restroom, but it is a much nicer experience. It's how we defecated until very recently.

    :D

    It was easy to spot the American's working at the Turkish Air Force HQ when I was there - we all had a roll of toilet paper in our briefcases.

    It is SO clean. From Greece to Japan, I've had to use horrific versions.

    I thought the most sanitized picture would be more acceptable.

    I would avoid a step "stool" if you have lower back problems. The key is to avoid the Valsalva Maneuver when bearing down which increases blood pressure.

    So why is the angle of a person's arse healthier?

    Watching the VERY BRIEF video on the website main page would answer that in less than a heartbeat.
