fluffy and floaty is the way to go!

Float - if it sinks then you are not consuming enough fiber in your diet.. Aim for 25 grams per day

If it sinks it means you are a virgin.

sink if it floats it means u have worms in ur tomy

Depends on what you have been eating.

They should sink. If they float consistently it may mean you are malabsorbing fat and have a bowel problem. These types of stools are also often malaodorous.

at first i thought u meant faces....hahaha

anyway -sink

That's a bunch of c**p! That is by no means a reliable way to measure your health. Pay more attention to your vital signs, weight, and blood tests. If the boats don't float it simply means you have eaten and passed high-residue foods,which, by the way, are necessary for a healthy-functioning colon. High-residue foods will increase the transit time of waste material through your body, which reduces the amount of time it stays in contact with your GI tract. That, in turn, will lessen your chances of infection, polyp, or cancer growth.

it should have neutral buoyancy

Not sure how accurate my answer is going to be because I gleaned it from a television show (House) but it was explained that if you have fat in your diet that fat is passed and your poop floats.

What?? I was thinking about having a snack.

aw turd questions always my favorite

It is sexual-- in that in my years of observations, mens' usually sink, womens' float. Probably because mens' are larger masses. But both sexes may have floaters and sinkers, depending on what you eat.
