Maybe this is naive, but what if you just shat standing up?

The squat (aka primal or Asian squat) would be better than sitting or standing to poo.

There is a lot of research on this... If you do sit, it helps to bring you knees up closer to your chest. You can buy devices to help you do this... The Squatty Potty for example. Basically, things are better aligned (for sitters) when your knees or hips are bent deeply.

Other research shows the Thinker Position Statue is as ideal as the squat for pooping ease (if you are a sitter).

You'll need to wash your legs after.

My buddy's 2yo proved that to me.

To be fair to him, at least he removed his diapers first. He was on the way to proper potty procedures!
