Don’t hold your poop. But if you must, here’s how to go about it.
can replicate the effect of squatting while in a seated position.) Sitting down is a less effective posture, but if you live anywhere in the western world, you likely learned to use a pedestal toilet, so this is how you’ve been draining two-pointers most of your life.
Because these are positions your body sees as signals that you’re ready to take a dump, you absolutely do not want to reenact them if you need to hold it in. Instead, lie on your stomach until the urge subsides. This position is utterly unnatural for pooping and is especially useful if you’re, say, riding in the back of a car on your way to a proper bathroom.
If you’re on foot in a public place, riding a bus or train, or otherwise in a situation where going prone is not an option, stand up and lightly push your hips forward. This will engage your butt cheeks and help you keep your posterior exit door shut.Any type of soft, continuous movement, such as walking or shifting your body weight from one foot to the other, will slightly tighten your pelvic floor muscles.
But keep your movements soft and sporadic. Too much, and you risk triggering gastrointestinal peristalsis, Khlevner says. This is when your bowels repeatedly contract and relax to push waste down your digestive tract, potentially stuffing even more poop going into your rectum.This poop version of the pee dance also works as a distraction that signals you’re too busy to relieve yourself.
We sincerely hope you never have to use any of these tips. May you always have a glorious, clean bathroom available to you, with a warm seat, plenty of the softest toilet paper, and the most effective scented candles your nose can handle. But chances are you won’t always be so lucky, so do your Kegels and make sure to poop before you leave home.
