It really helps with both: making them looser and regularity. If they're loose, but you're not going often enough, you might just need more IF. Also keep in mind that it can be perfectly normal to not go every day. Do you feel "backed up" if you don't go on a particular day, or do you really not feel any different?
Do you exercise? Drink LOTS of water? Those two things are HUGE for dealing with C. Skipping my exercise routine for a day or two can be enough to throw my whole system off.
