Got Your Turdle Yet?

Hi ya. I love to see my regular visitors. You are keeping regular, aren't you? Never mind. I don't want to know! Help yourself to your regular mug of coffee and a virtual treat. Try a double bran muffin. Yesterday, I was on about updating the 'loos' or toilets in Westminster. Coincidentally, no sooner had I hit the 'publish' key than I received an email from Brian in Pattaya, Thailand telling me about the new 'turdle'. Thanks, Brian. For my loyal readers, it's business as usual!

 You're gonna love this one... especially if you've ever had to work a little too hard to get your "business" done. The creators of Boku Superfood have now come up with a clever, friendly device that helps you get things moving. Shaped like a half-cylinder and made with a texture that resembles a yoga mat, the "Turdle" allow you to gently lean forward while placing the Turdle in your lap, creating subtle pressure in just the right place to help you get done and get on with your day!

Yeah, the name "Turdle" is kinda cute, but the issue of chronic constipation is quite serious. Millions of Americans suffer from it, and they often either end up addicted to chemical laxatives or spending inordinate amounts of time on the toilet, straining and possibly hurting themselves.

The Turdle solves the problem in a totally different way: A gentle pressure massage that actually stimulates your large intestine and supports your natural peristaltic action for achieving elimination!

The Turdle was recently featured on The Doctors on CBS, where doctors raved about its simplicity and effectiveness.

When everything's working great on the toilet, we tend to take it for granted. But try constipation for a couple of days, and you realize just how important elimination is to your quality of life.

Naturally, diet plays a huge role in constipation. People who eat enormous amounts of fiber-less foods like milk, cheese and meat often end up with "stuck intestines" that just don't want to move. So adding some natural fiber to your diet is always a great idea.

But sometimes it isn't enough, and you need a little extra "push." Enter the Turdle! Use it to apply gentle pressure to just the right areas of your lower torso, and you'll be amazed at how much easier it is to get things moving!

Elsewhere, I was reading recently that our position on John Crapper's invention is all wrong. We should have a (pardon the pun) stool, I mean footstool, in front of us to lift our legs and aid with the function we are attempting. Thinking about it, the Thais have the problem solved with their Thai-lets. You merely place your feet on the footprints and squat over the bowl. Your body assumes the natural 'assisting' position so you don't need a turdle pillow. And that's about when your mobile phone rings!

See ya, eh! I gotta go!

PS: Planning a visit to Thailand? Not to worry. Most places have Western toilets now...some even flush...some even have toilet paper! Ah, luxury!
