The Last Show with David Cooper · The Vagina Whisperer On The Squatty Potty · 4 Feb 2026 podcast

So you sit down, feet on the stool, lean forward, and instead of holding your breath to push out as you're pooping, I tell you to exhale like you're blowing out 50 birthday candles.

So that prevents you from holding your breath, which again can weaken your muscles and lead to incomplete emptying.

So stool under the feet, lean forward, exhale like you're blowing out birthday candles.

And it will change your life.

I think once you get one of these stools in your bathroom, David, you're going to be like, how have I been not pooping this way my entire life?

No, just rest onto your elbows in a comfortable, relaxed position.

So, and you know, I tell...

people who are teaching their kids how to poop.

Like I've got two little kids.

I'm like, put your feet on the stool.

It helps you relax better.

If you are in, you know, Asia or the woods or India, we all squat over the ground in those situations because it's much more physiologically natural.

And now we're reverse engineering that in our Western civilization by putting the stool under your feet.

It can if you're straining and not emptying well, totally.

So, you know, I see, I think we often think of pelvic floor problems like leakage or

you know weakness of these pelvic floor muscles in older women or women with babies but this can happen at any age from this improper pooping because you're straining and straining weakens things over time and that can lead to some of the things we mentioned leakage of urine leakage of gas or stool like not able to hold in your bowel movements till you get to the bathroom in time

pelvic organ prolapse, which is when you have your organs start to kind of descend into the vaginal canal.

Sounds very scary, but it's due to weakness or even things like a hernia or an abdominal separation.

So again, pressure is going to want to find the path of least resistance in your body.

And when you're straining, it's going to go down towards the vaginal opening in women typically.
