What makes this useful
A plain description of shape is easier to revisit than a vague memory that something was different.
When you return to the phone, add only a visit you remember and correct its date if needed. A consistent label such as “phone-free day” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.
A practical way to begin
- Choose the closest of the seven illustrated options. Exact visual matching is not required.
- Keep shape separate from comfort and other observations; they answer different questions.
- If several visits during phone-free days looked different, give each visit its own shape choice. A shared “phone-free day” note can group them without flattening the differences.
An example of useful context
“Phone-free afternoon; recording this after dinner.”
Does the saved visit time refer to the visit or to when you picked up the phone again?
Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
Where this fits in LooPoo
Using a Bristol stool chart app to record shape explains the full workflow and its limits.
Use Check-in in the iPhone app for this part of your record. The shape selection describes what you recorded and does not diagnose a condition.
LooPoo keeps check-ins and preferences encrypted on your phone. It describes your observations without diagnosing, treating, or predicting a medical outcome.
Keep exploring phone-free days
- Track visit comfort
Keep the feeling of each visit clear.
- Record noticeable body signals
Distinguish explicit observations from missing details.
- Track bathroom visit length
Remember an approximate duration.
