The herein-disclosed invention relates to, inter alia, mechanical arms that assist defecation. This invention does not move the toilet seat itself. Mechanical arms assist the defecation process without any movement of the toilet seat. The instant invention utilizes specially-tailored, specially-positioned gas struts and cup-style grabbing paddles to mechanically solve the technical-biological defecation-mess problem. While a user sits on a toilet, mechanical arms assist in spreading one's buttock cheeks apart during the defecation process. The system comprises an adjustable screw, rail and carriage system so the user may tailor the system parameters to their needs.
