There are several kinds of faeces, they come in different sizes, shapes and thickness and they are at times used in determining the state of health of an individual. The list and chart below show different types of faeces.

Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)
Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft (Normal)
Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)
Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces.

When defecating you should observe your faeces and you should sigh for relief if you pass out type 3 and 4
