You bought the thing to help you poop and fix your pooping posture to mimic squatting, might as well use it right!
Do you sit on the toilet THEN put your feet on the squatty potty?
Most do. And though it's better than putting feet on the ground it does not mimic squatting.
So how to get the most bang for your buck and do it right?
Get your squatty potty close to the toilet. Hold on to your surrounding and step on the squatty potty like a stool. (Your butt should not be on the seat yet.)
Your heels should be touching the bowl of the toilet, that's how close you should be.
Then, start to do a deep squat. Eventually you will make contact with the seat. THIS is the angle you should maintain.
If you are a poop pro you can poop during the deep squat phase and you can maintain some tension in the thighs to lift some weight off the seat ever so slightly.
Do it and see the difference.
Poop stoops are made on Etsy but sell for ridiculous prices. With this method you should be able to mimic a squat almost identically.
