squat toilet

The simplest squat toilet is simply a hole in the ground or floor. Some squat toilets are more elaborate, but they all require the user to squat over a hole and to defecate into the hole.

Squatting is the normal position for defecation, because the lower part of the colon is well positioned for easy bowel motions. In contrast, western-style toilets may be more convenient than squat toilets, but they don't position the user as well for defecation.

Some doctors recommend that people who are constipated should put their feet on a pile of books or a small stool when using the toilet, as this forces the body into a type of squatting position.

When Sally went camping in the bush, she made a squat toilet by digging a hole in the ground. She squatted over the hole and defecated into it.

squat toilet

A toilet that is popular is asia, japan, and some other countries. To use it, remove your pants, then stand over the pan. If possible, face towards the hood of the toilet. Avoid squatting directly over the hole, as this can splash water back up. Then, squat down. Bend gently at the knees and lower yourself down into a deep squat. Poop, and then see what is available to clean your butt. If toilet paper is provided, use it, and then throw it away in the toilet paper bin, rather than in the toilet itself. If there is a sprayer instead, simply spray your butt and wipe it with your hand. Then flush, retrieve you pants, and leave.

I’m gonna go use the squat toilet.
