What is the ideal shape and consistency that a #2 should be?!


Question: How does one obtain this?


Answers: How does one obtain this?

Unlike the other answers, I'm going to guess you're using a common euphemism for, well, poo.

Ideally it should be chesnut brown and fairly firm. Not too hard and not too soft.

A balanced diet with plenty of fibre will help you achieve this. A lot of fruit will make your poo quite soft and possibly a little runny, a lot of protein will make it darker and harder.

Really the 'quality' of poo is often down to the individual, and people's poo can change dramatically within a few weeks depending on what they're eating. Most types of poo aren't cause for alarm, I myself have produced sloppy pale poo and hard dark balls while always feeling perfectly fit and healthy.

I'm going to go wash my hands now.

there really isn't an ideal shape for the #2 some people like it flat at the bottom some like it curved depends on your taste.

i would reccomend that you do it the same way that the computer does it, with a flat bottom. the curved #2 is also a capital "Q" in cursive and that can be confusing. but it is really a matter of opinion.

If there is constantly undigested bits, then it's not good. The consistency really depends on what you eat and drink. You want to empty your bowels consistently and that means eatings lots of fiber-rich foods. Hard stool means high-protein foods but that also means the waste remains in your body longer and thus, the body would absorb back some into the body. That being said, best that it's soft but not runny. If you want to know how long the waste remains in your body, drink fresh beet juice and note how long before the waste turns red and remain red.
