To sit on a Western toilet properly, follow these steps:
- Sit down directly on the toilet seat, positioning yourself centrally on the seat so you are balanced and comfortable. Avoid sitting too far to one side or too far forward or back.
- Keep your back straight and avoid leaning too far forward or backward while sitting.
- Your feet should rest flat on the ground to maintain balance.
- For easier bowel movements, it is recommended to lean slightly forward with your hands resting on your knees, which helps to relax and straighten the colon.
- Use toilet paper to clean yourself after use, and dispose of it in the dustbin if required (common in some places).
- Flush the toilet after use and wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly.
Using a footstool to elevate your feet can also help by mimicking a squatting position, which can make bowel movements easier and more natural. This method ensures comfortable, hygienic, and effective use of a Western-style toilet that involves sitting as if on a chair rather than squatting on top of it.
