ST. GEORGE, Utah, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Squatty Potty, known for their development of the Squatty Potty® toilet stool, is launching a stool for children ages two to eight - the SquattyPottymus®. Designed to:
- Help toddlers feel secure and successful as they toilet train.
- Place children in the all-important squat position.
In recent years Squatty Potty has been contacted by pediatricians requesting a stool designed to properly position children on the toilet. "When a child is put onto a big toilet seat with legs dangling, they can't relax and fear falling in," says Judy Edwards, co-founder and creator of Squatty Potty. "Because of this fear, they put off pooping and start withholding, which can lead to life-long issues."
Pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D. of Wake Forest University School of Medicine explains, "When children regularly withhold, they can become chronically constipated. Chronic constipation is epidemic in U.S. children and causes most cases of enuresis, (wetting) and encopresis, (poop accidents)."
Research shows people poop more quickly and easily when squatting. Dr. Hodges notes, "I recommend the Squattypottymus for my patients because it helps their pooping muscles relax so they can more fully evacuate."
The SquattyPottymus stool encourages a natural squat, opening the colon for an easier and more complete elimination. A cap is included to extend the height of the stool to accommodate different height toilets or smaller children. The accompanying ergonomic seat helps to take away the fear of the toilet hole as it cradles the child in a comfortable and safe experience. The SquattyPottymus facilitates proper toilet posture for children from age two to eight years old.
