Western toilets seriously weaken the pelvic and hip muscles. Squat on them, either directly, or using a stand, or using an Asian style squat toilet instead. There is no other alternative. Weak pelvic and hip muscles can be painful.
In addition, there is also the issue of worsening constipation and making it needlessly harder to produce output.

- OutOfHere 2y ago> spread disease Where did you get that? It's not true at all. In fact, cleaning a squat toilet doesn't even require a flush, only a drain. On the contrary, when using the Western toilet, the dick touches the toilet surface, and this chronically spreads urinary infections up the urinary tract, starting at the urethra, all the way to the kidneys. This is not just theoretical; it actually happens, and only with the Western toilet.
- FooBarBizBazz 2y agoYes, this trend of tall toilets is at odds with human anatomy. The full-on squat toilet may be excessive (and has its own problems), but at least the Western toilet should be low enough that the hips and knees are at acute angles. I keep seeing the opposite.
- OutOfHere 2y agoWhat problem does the squat toilet have? We pooped in the squat position from before we were humans.
- FooBarBizBazz 2y agoNot enough separation between the hole and the feet. You never know what you're stepping in.
- OutOfHere 2y agoI am sorry but that is not making sense for me. I have used squat toilets without ever having any such issue. In contrast, with Western toilets, I always have the issue of the dick touching the toilet surface, seriously risking chronic urinary tract infections, spreading all the way from the urethra to the kidneys. This is not just theoretical; it actually happens, chronically so, and only with the Western toilet.
