I just saw an ad for a stool softener.. I did not catch the whole ad... but why would someone need a softener??
 
For extreme constipation (i.e. when you want to take a dump, but the sh!t just ain't comin' out!)

I don't know how old you are, but when you get older, you might need it in your increasingly crowded medicine cabinet.

OTOH, a proper diet consisting of plenty of fruits and veggies gives you plenty of fibre and other nutrients, to help keep you regular.

But ... a lot of people simply won't eat fruits and veggies. And the stool softener comes into play.
 
many medications contribute to harder(drier) stools or constipation such as Iron and calcium suppliments, water pills to lower blood pressure .A sedentary lifstyle also adds to constipation
Stool softeners are very common in older folks
 
Also, be glad it's just a stool softener, which you take orally.

A more drastic alternative is an enema, a plastic turkey baster that you stick up your arse! :eek:
 
Omg

Another alternative is a suppository, (sp?) a tablet you shove up your ass...

But funny thing, when I was younger and I heard that term "stool softener" I thought, why not just buy a pillow or have the damn thing upholstered?

You sound like your full of shit..:eek:
 
Another use for Stool Softener is to put in your ears to loosen the wax. There is no better way to clean your ears out and it is Dr. recommended.

Is it wrong if the first thought that came to mind reading that was: mmmm..... gravy!
 
stool softeners are prescribed as combination to anybody taking narcotics as pain killer
 
If you take narcotics shitting is like pushing a pine cone through a hole in a brick.
