Stressed, Blessed, & a Little Gut-Obsessed: The Impact of Seasonal Changes on Gut & Bowel Health
It’s that time of year again when everything begins to shift: the temps drop (or in some places rise), your routine adjusts to accommodate school and holidays, and you start getting less hours of daylight. Believe it or not, your gut health and bowel habits can also be shifting due to all of these changes. Let’s dive into why your digestive system can act up during seasonal shifts and high-stress times, how it’s all connected, and what you can do to stay comfortable. 1. Your Gut Changes with the Seasons Yep, your gut microbiome (the trillions of gut microbes + their genes + their little chemical factories) shifts as the seasons shift. For instance: In one study of 60 members of a communal lifestyle group, microbiome diversity and major bacterial groups changed between summer and winter. PLOS+1 A recent review points out how diet, environmental factors (temperature, humidity, sunlight), behavior (time outdoors, activity), and infections all play into seasonal gut-microbiome shifts. MDPI+1 Why this matters for your bowel habits: When your microbiome composition shifts, the balance of digestion-helpers, gas-producing microbes, mucus-layer maintainers and gut-barrier guards may shift too. Seasonal changes often bring changes in diet (less fresh produce, more preserved foods, foods higher in fats/oils), changes in activity (colder weather → less movement), changes in hydration (less thirst in winter), changes in daylight/circadian rhythm → all these ripple into digestion. So if you notice more constipation, bloating, or just “off” bowel habits when we move into fall or winter (or maybe when things warm up again) - there is a biological plausibility. 2. Stress: The Gut’s Uninvited Guest Your gut and your brain have a hotline. It’s called the gut-brain axis (and yes, your poop is part of the conversation). Here’s what happens: Under stress, your body activates its “fight or flight” pathways, which can divert blood flow away from digestion, alter motility (either speed things up or slow them down), change gut-barrier permeability and stimulate immune/inflammatory responses. ScienceDirect+1 Reviews show stress contributes to symptom severity in many digestive disorders (like IBS, IBD, functional gut disorders) because of these gut-brain-microbiome loops. Frontiers+1 The gut microbiome itself is sensitive to stress — stress can alter microbial composition, reduce diversity, influence microbial metabolites that affect gut health. International Fellowship of Missionaries So why do your gut & bowels take a hit when you’re stressed / during holidays? Holidays mean disrupted routines: eating at odd hours, heavier foods, more alcohol, travel, less sleep — all of which stress your gut. Seasonal changes + stress = “double whammy” for gut health: imagine your microbiome is already shifting because the season changed and you’ve jacked up your stress levels and thrown off your diet/routine. For someone with a sensitive gut (e.g., IBS, prior digestive issues), this can trigger flares: constipation, diarrhea, urgency, bloating. 3. Putting It All Together: Let’s connect the dots: The season changes → your diet/activity/hydration/possibly daylight changes → your microbiome shifts (studies confirm). At the same time, if stress is elevated (holiday demands, family, travel, workload) → your gut-brain axis is activated → digestion is less efficient, gut motility might change, barrier/inflammation & microbial interactions might get less optimal. Result: Your bowel habits might take a hit (you might be more constipated, or maybe looser, bloated, feeling off). Note: This doesn’t mean everyone will have dramatic gut issues — but many people do notice “something’s off” during seasonal or holiday transitions. 4. The Squat-light: Tips for Supporting your Body during this Seasonal Shift All these adjustments can be hard enough to manage even before adding gut/bowel changes to the list, but these helpful suggestions could help keep your bathroom operations flowing smoothly: Routine & environment Try to keep a consistent eating schedule, even when meals are “holiday-style”. Prioritize hydration (colder weather or busy holiday times may reduce fluid intake). Keep moving, even short walks and gentle stretching ca help gut motility. Diet & microbiome support Fiber-rich foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) support a healthy microbiome, which can help prevent “backlog” during shifts. Consider fermented or probiotic-rich foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi) to support microbial balance. Limit excess alcohol, heavy ultra-processed foods, large meals late at night — all of which can stress digestion. Stress reduction Try simple breathing/relaxation practices (even 5 minutes) to calm the gut-brain axis. Prioritize sleep (less sleep = higher stress for your gut too). Recognize your gut is part of the stress response: when you feel “butterflies” or “I have to go ASAP” after a stressful meeting — yup, your brain-gut axis is doing its thing. Squatty Support: We’ve got your back(side)! Reduce stress on your bowels and pelvic floor muscles by using your Squatty Potty stool whenever you go. Even if you’re traveling, we’ve got compact options that can help improve your bathroom experience no matter where the season takes you: Original 7” Squatty - the OG for pooping comfort! Travel Porta Squatty - your travel companion that fits neatly into a suitcase or carry-on (under 15” when folded) Slim Teak - if you you and your guests want to poop in luxury, this stylish, modern stool gives you clean lines and a clear digestive tract! The perfect poop isn’t complete without the perfect wipe - our Flushable Wipes clean more effectively than toilet paper, and are gentle and safe (even for those with sensitive or eczema prone skin) 150ct Bundle - 50 per pouch, and plenty of pouches to put one in each bathroom. Grab ‘N Go Bundle - your travel bestie! Soothing, gentle, and perfect for any form of travel you might go on during the holidays. Give Your Gut Some Grace During The Seasonal Shift! Your gut is not in isolation. It’s tied to your diet, your brain, your stress levels, your environment. Seasonal changes and stress are like two sneaky companions that often come together and both silently tweak your gut ecosystem — altering microbiome, gut-brain communication, motility, and barrier function. When your gut ecosystem shifts, your bowel health can shift too. If you tend to feel digestive changes during holiday seasons or when things get busy/stressful — you’re not imagining it. It’s real. And the good news: with a little awareness (hydration, fiber, movement, stress-management, and the right bathroom support) you can help your throne-experience stay smooth.

The World of Personal Hygiene Wipes: Understanding the Difference
When it comes to personal hygiene, wipes have become an everyday essential — whether you’re cleaning up a baby, freshening your face, or using them in the bathroom. But not all wipes are created equal. Although they might look similar, baby wipes, facial wipes, and flushable toilet wipes differ in both composition and intended use — and those differences matter a lot, especially when it comes to what should (and shouldn’t) go down your toilet. Baby Wipes: Gentle for Skin, Designed for Messes Material: Baby wipes are made from a soft, durable, nonwoven fabric, often a blend of polyester and polypropylene fibers. These synthetic materials make them strong enough to handle tough cleanup jobs and resist tearing, even when wet. However, these same qualities also mean they don’t break down easily in water. And while more and more brands are moving to a 100% plant based material for baby wipes now, they are still designed to resist tearing and breakdown, meaning even though they are plant based they are still not flushable. Use: Formulated for sensitive skin, baby wipes are designed with moisturizing and soothing ingredients like aloe, chamomile, or mild cleansers. They’re perfect for diaper changes and gentle cleaning, but their durability means they’re not meant to be flushed. Even one or two wipes can cause clogs or contribute to larger blockages in plumbing and sewer systems, known as “fatbergs.” Facial Wipes: Designed for Beauty, Not the Bathroom Material: Facial wipes share a similar construction to baby wipes, they’re typically made of nonwoven synthetic fibers or blends that give them a smooth, cloth-like texture. This makes them ideal for wiping away makeup, oil, and dirt without disintegrating. In other words, they are designed to feel soft while still being relatively difficult to tear. And just like baby wipes, more companies are moving over to plant based fibers for their facial wipes, even going so far as to claim that they are biodegradable and/or compostable - but again it’s important to note that these fibers are not constructed to disintegrate quickly in water, meaning they are also not designed to be flushed. Use: Since facial wipes are formulated with ingredients like micellar water, exfoliants, or skin conditioners, they’re a convenient alternative to washing your face. But despite their softness, they are not flushable either. These specific fibers don’t disperse or degrade in water, and they can easily cause blockages in household pipes or municipal systems. Flushable Toilet Wipes: Built to Clean, and then Break Down Material: The major difference with flushable toilet wipes lies in the fiber technology. True flushable wipes are made from plant-based materials, such as cellulose, wood pulp, cotton, or regenerated fibers like viscose or lyocell. Unlike synthetic polymers, these natural fibers are hydrophilic, meaning they absorb water and begin to lose strength almost immediately after flushing. This is often why they feel thinner than baby wipes or facial wipes - it’s an intentional design that combines functional structure for an effective clean while dispersing quickly in water to prevent clogs in sewers and septic systems. Most flushable wipes use hydroentangling (spunlace) technology, which bonds the fibers together with high-pressure water jets instead of chemical binders. This gives the wipe a soft, strong texture when dry and in use — but allows it to break apart once it’s agitated in water, mimicking the dispersibility of toilet paper. Use: Obviously, flushable wipes are designed for use after going to the bathroom and offer a fresher, cleaner feel as compared to toilet paper, and usually contains ingredients designed to help care for skin and reduce irritation in those sensitive areas. However, not all products labeled “flushable” meet rigorous disintegration standards. There are testing protocols designed to validate flushability, which are subject to change to meet shifting federal and local regulations for sewage and water systems. That’s why it’s best to look for wipes certified by industry standards like INDA/IWSFG Flushability Guidelines. Squatty Potty Flushable Wipes - The Right Wipe for the Right Time Squatty Potty Flushable wipes have undergone independent lab testing to confirm that they meet INDA GD4 Flushable Product Guidelines, so you can trust that they are flushable and septic safe when you flush according to disposal instructions. But, they aren’t just the perfect option for your post-potty cleanup, they’re also: Hypoallergenic & Dermatologically Tested Made with 100% plant based fibers Formulated with 99% water and plant based ingredients pH balanced & alcohol free FSC certified Infused with chamomile, green tea, aloe, cucumber, & vitamin e Formulated without harsh chemicals, oils, parabens, or sulfates Cruelty Free On top of all that, these wipes are tested and proven safe for sensitive and eczema-prone skin, making them gentle enough for the whole family. They’re perfect for removing dirt, sweat, and everyday grime, and they double as a refreshing pick-me-up after a workout or a long day. The only thing they’re not designed for is makeup removal or use directly on eyes - their formula and material are optimized to break down easily in water and remain safe for sewer and septic systems. But aside from that, they’re an excellent go-to for nearly all your daily wipe needs - with the added bonus of being flushable!

Flushable Wipes Ingredient SHOUTOUT: Green Tea, Aloe, Chamomile, and Witch Hazel
When we talk about “botanical boosters” in skincare or personal hygiene, ingredients like green tea, aloe, chamomile, and witch hazel frequently surface. But beyond buzzwords, what do the scientific studies actually say about why they should be used? And more importantly: how do we use those ingredients responsibly so they deliver benefits without creating risks? That’s what we’ll talk about in today’s post! Green Tea: Antioxidant Powerhouse & Soothing Ally What it does Green tea is rich in polyphenols (especially EGCG [epigallocatechin gallate]), which act as potent antioxidants, helping neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in skin cells. {Thring et al., 2011 shows antioxidant + anti-inflammatory activity of plant extracts including green tea} (Reference) It also has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing cytokine-mediated skin irritation and redness in some models. (Reference) In the realm of skincare systems, formulations containing green tea and other botanicals have been associated with improved skin parameters (hydration, appearance, smoothness) in controlled studies. (Reference) Real-world implications For sensitive or frequently irritated skin, green tea can help buffer minor stressors (friction, mild chemicals) by calming inflammatory pathways. It can help in balancing sebum or oil overproduction, reducing the incidence of clogged pores or irritation in areas that tend to sweat. Because it’s relatively well tolerated, it’s often used in leave-on formulations (mists, toners) for a sustained mild effect. Cautions As with any botanical, concentration and purity matter—if improperly formulated, the same polyphenols may act as irritants in rare individuals. Avoid pairing with harsh exfoliants or aggressive actives until you’ve tested for compatibility. Aloe (Aloe Vera): The Hydrating Soother What it does Aloe is known for its moisture-retaining properties (humectant-like behavior), helping skin stay supple and reducing dryness on delicate areas. (Reference) It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects, supporting the regeneration of mildly irritated or minorly damaged skin (some burns, scrapes) (Reference) In anecdotal and small experimental settings, aloe has been used in formulations to calm post-procedure irritation, razor burn, or chafing (Reference) Real-world implications After friction, sweating, or mild irritation, aloe can be an effective ingredient to soothe tightness or stinging. Because it helps maintain hydration, it can prevent micro-fissures (tiny cracks) in delicate skin that might occur under dryness stress. Cautions Some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reaction to inner-leaf components (especially if additives or preservatives are present). Overuse (heavy layering without letting skin breathe) can sometimes lead to a feeling of residue or mild dampness. Chamomile: Gentle Calmer & Redness Reducer What it does Chamomile contains bisabolol and chamazulene, compounds known for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and calming actions. (Reference) It may suppress local inflammatory mediators and help reduce redness, itch, or mild irritation. (Reference) In phytomedical reviews, chamomile is among herbs included in anti-acne or skin-soothing remedies (alongside others like green tea, aloe, witch hazel) for its broad calming and antimicrobial synergy (Reference) Real-world implications For users with reactive or easily irritated skin, chamomile helps “soften the blow” when skin is exposed to mild stress (heat, friction, sweat). It works especially well in formulations designed to be gentle or leave-on, because its action is more passive and less aggressive than strong actives. Cautions Chamomile is generally well tolerated, but in rare individuals with ragweed or Asteraceae allergies, cross-reaction is possible. As always, formulation stability (preservatives, pH) matters; raw chamomile extract isn’t a “magic bullet” by itself. Witch Hazel: Astringent & Anti-Inflammatory Agent What it does Modern studies (e.g. Liu et al. 2024) show that witch hazel extract can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8) in inflamed skin models, while also enhancing markers of skin barrier integrity (e.g. loricrin, transglutaminase-1) and reducing oxidative stress markers after UV exposure. (Reference) Witch hazel contains tannins and flavonoids—compounds with astringent, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. (Reference) As a botanical “classic,” it has long been used in skincare as a mild astringent to tighten pores, calm irritation, and reduce swelling or redness. (Reference) Real-world implications The astringent property helps provide a sense of “firmness” or reduction in oiliness, which can be appreciated in areas prone to sweat or mild irritation. When skin is inflamed or dry-damaged, appropriate concentrations of witch hazel may help reinforce barrier recovery while calming. Because it’s multifunctional—both astringent and antioxidant—it’s often used in flush, cleansing, or soothing formulations. Cautions Overapplication or high concentrations (especially with alcohol-based witch hazel) can lead to skin dryness, tightness, or irritation. Very dry or fragile skin types should test carefully. Using it repeatedly in high doses may disturb the skin microbiome or remove too much protective lipid. Why Ingredient Selection & Formulation Matters Simply listing “green tea” or “aloe” on a label isn’t enough. The source, concentration, pH compatibility, purity, and the formula matrix (other ingredients) determine whether these botanicals help, or harm, your skin. How We Apply These Ingredients Thoughtfully: The Squatty Potty Way We believe your skin deserves the botanical benefits without compromise. So in our Squatty Potty Flushable Wipes, we’ve integrated green tea, aloe, chamomile, and witch hazel (in well-balanced infusion) through extensive formulation and safety review. Here’s how: Efficacious concentrations: We don’t overload the formula. Each botanical is present at a level intended to deliver support without overwhelming sensitive skin. Dermatologist-tested & pH-balanced: The entire wipe formula, including these botanicals, is tested for skin compatibility, so they function well in delicate settings. Minimalistic, clean base: With a 99% water and plant based formula, alcohol-free, no parabens or dyes, and plant-based fibers, we avoid layering harsh compounds over your skin. Thoughtful synergy: The combination of botanicals is chosen for their complementary nature, infused in a way that is gentle for skin but balanced to leave you feeling fresh and clean In short: we didn’t just pick ingredients because they sound good. We picked them because evidence suggests they can contribute to skin resilience and comfort, and then built a product that lets them perform in a gentle and safe way. Final Thoughts Botanicals like green tea, aloe, chamomile, and witch hazel carry real biological potential, but they are only as good as their formulation. The benefits lie not in marketing hype, but in careful selection and synergy. When applied correctly, they can support a beneficial user experience - especially valuable in areas frequently exposed to sweat, friction, and irritation. That’s why in Squatty Potty Flushable Wipes, these botanical ingredients are more than storytelling, they’re part of an intentional, skin-friendly formula designed to bring a gentle real-world benefit to your most delicate of parts!
