Re: To squat or not to squat

I once had to go to the loo when I was at a train station in Brittany. I noticed a woman enter and then come straight out of the Ladies and nip in to the Mens. A bit weird but hey ho I thought and nipped in to the vacant toilet only to find one of those hole in the floor jobbies. What a dirty, stinking, blocked up, vomit inducing sight awaited me. Blocked to the hilt and overflowing with filthy toilet paper strewn round the top. I quickly vacated the 'powder room' and went to the mens toilet next door. Guess what? It was a lovely clean 'sit on' toilet. Charming!

Re: To squat or not to squat

If you squat, you won't get that satisfactory plop, plop, plop, which is integral to the whole experience.

Sounds like you're a bit constipated!

Nor will you have to afraid of collateral damage as the previous night's gallon of bitter and chicken vindaloo gush out.

Re: To squat or not to squat

Nil Taurus excreta!!!!! I honestly had no idea my original posting on this thread would evoke such a response. Love it! Just to add extra spice to the curry, here is more information from the newspaper article referred to.
The Professor’s book includes a diagram with a cross through a stick figure standing on a toilet seat. The mind boggles - I have a picture in my mind (unfortunately) of someone trying to balance in a standing position on a toilet seat while aiming to hit the mark. Class act!!!! The instructions also include an appeal not to throw water on the floor?????
One of the Universities in Adelaide has ‘culturally sensitive amenities’ to cater for staff and students from more than 90 countries – which include ‘culturally appropriate ablutions’, and a second University has also installed squat toilets and special washrooms.
A 3rd University, while it does not have these toilets, has placed a sign on cubicle doors asking users not to stand on seats. THAT picture just won’t go away.

It’s all a load of crap to me……

During my nursing days I once(well more than once) took an Asian lady to the bathroom to enable her to have a wash.
She didn't put the plug in the wash basin, but proceeded to cup the water in both hands and the aim it roughly at the region of her face.
I don't know who was the wettest when we came out, her, or me.
She didn't use soap and she didn't touch her skin.....she just sort of bombarded it with cold water.
I had to stay with her because she had just had an op and was very unsteady on her feet.

Re: To squat or not to squat

It's all very well saying it's a healthier position!
I couldn't squat down in the first place. If I did I'd probably end up sat on the hole and then I couldn't get up. Sat there for hours till someone rescued you- that could give you piles!

Gordon, the squatty potty overcomes that.....it is like a stool(no pun intended) that butts (!) up to the toilet and makes you take the squatting position without having to get down and dirty.....have a look at the link posted by Mick.
Quite ingenious really.
