The premise behind the squatty potty is that the optimal position for defecation is with the knees raised. Just sitting on the conventional toilet with one’s thighs parallel to the ground is not enough, so a stool tilts them backward.
But people will look at you strangely if you carry around a potty stool just in case you need to relieve yourself while out of the home. That’s why Matty Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions developed Squatty Slides. These slip-on shoes have telescoping bases that elevate the legs so that you’re already ready to deliver the goods even while away from your home squatty potty.
