Squat toilet seat

Abstract

A squat toilet seat that positions users in a squatting position when sitting on the toilet so that the user's torso and legs form a 35-38° angle. This straightens the colon, relaxing the puborecatlis muscles to ease the strain of having a bowel movement. The toilet seat is thicker in the front than in the back, creating a sloped surface that in turn creates the angle from the user's torso to legs. The toilet seat has left and right attachment parts that are attachable to both rounded and elongated toilet bowl bodies.
