\nAre you sitting comfortably? Many people are not \u2013 and they insist that the way we\u2019ve been going to the toilet is all wrong. By Alex BlasdelFor their 27th wedding anniversary, the Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston gave his wife, Robin, a gift that promises \u201cto give you the best poop of your life, guaranteed\u201d. The Squatty Potty is a wildly popular seven-inch-high plastic stool, designed by a devout Mormon and her son, which curves around the base of your loo. By propping your feet on it while you crap, you raise your knees above your hips. From this semi-squat position, the centuries-old seated toilet is transformed into something more primordial, like a hole in the ground.

Musing about the gift on one of America\u2019s daytime talk shows in 2016, Cranston said: \u201cElimination is love.\u201dMore than 5m Squatty Potties have been sold since they first crept on to the market in 2011. Celebrities such as Sally Field and Jimmy Kimmel have raved about them, and the basketball sensation Stephen Curry put one in every bathroom of his house. \u201cI had, like, a full elimination,\u201d Howard Stern, the celebrity shock jock, said after he first used one, in 2013. \u201cIt was unbelievable. I felt empty. I was like, \u2018Holy shit.\u2019\u201d The Squatty Potty has been the subject of jokes on Saturday Night Live, and of adulation by the queen of drag queens, RuPaul. This January, after Squatty Potty LLC hit $33m in annual revenues, the business channel CNBC, which helped bring the footstool to fame through its US version of Dragon\u2019s Den, hailed the device as a \u201ccult juggernaut\u201d.
