I’ve been contemplating this for a long time. A few months now.
Firstly:
Do you hover or build a nest?
If you are a hoverer then you, without a doubt encounter this problem. I’m speaking of a proper squat.
I have noticed that the particular toilet I use at work is rather high. Notice that if a toilet bowl is higher from the ground then your femur length then a proper squat is nearly impossible. A proper squat is important because if you sit too high you get shit on the sides of your ass crack. Increasing the amount of wipes from 2-3 to 6-8!
If you are a nest builder then you might be able to lift your feet off the ground but it’s more of a workout then hovering. It’s even less comfortable.
It’s a pretty big dilemma. Anyone have a technique that they can recommend?
I’m a short dude, but never encountered such a toilet as you describe. Maybe it’s because I despise public restrooms, and only use them in a near emergency. And, if it IS an emergency, I don’t really care about how tall the bowl is as long as it flushes properly… and there’s a roll of TP on the rack.

This is the truth. Psyllium is probably the best invention since toilet paper or Fabreeze
Slight hijack here but I once went to the toilet at a car park where I was preparing to head out for a walk in the winter. Snow & ice everywhere and very cold.
As I was going to have to use crampons as we got higher I was wearing a pair of fully stiff boots. Also gaiters to help stop the snow from going down my socks.
Anyhow I realised after getting kitted up that I needed to shit so of I went and discovered a rather manky looking toilet. I was going to attempt a hover and was doing ok until I realised the difficulties in ‘hovering’ whilst wearing boots designed to lock your ankles in place and restrict general moevement of the foot.

What’s a nest builder? [/quote]
Putting toilet paper over the seat in a nest-like fashion.
I get a nice blue Port-a-John with homosexual, racist graffiti reading material sprawled on the inside, Solar heated to 100°+ warm seats with blue sanitary goodness, insect and Yellow Jacket nests in the ventilation, noxious fumes from days of not-emptied due to the Landscapers truck always having to park in front of them, and (my favorite), “presents” left on the seat and floor to show how much they care about us…

I totally agree.
When in a society we see a bunch of grown men acting like pussies I believe it’s a very very bad omen. Definitely too much xenoestrogens in our surroundings…

Hold up…let us take a moment and reflect on the power of Febreze.
