In reply to Laura W. These hippies want to get rid of the elderly because they are bad for the environment

There IS one convenience with the modern sitting toilet: For the handicapped and infirm.
There was no way on this earth I could’ve squatted when my back had a herniated disc with a compression fracture or when I was recovering from two broken legs at the same time (or even now from the lasting effects). Nor is there anyway my 73 yr old mother can squat when she’s dizzy from a migraine, nor my uncoordinated & infirm father who is 88 now.
Are handicapped facilities available in the countries with mainly squatting toilets???
How do they handle things with the elderly and infirm???

We know the best toilet can lift the look of your bathroom and comfort you at the time you need it most. Having the best toilet in your bathroom just makes the daily life that bit easier for people.

ive been looking for the best toilet, i read from treehugger then jump here… while i think squatting is the best position on taking a poop i believe it an old style and my guest wont be please to do that since they might be shocked.. that will be pretty weird from modern people to let them squat makes them laugh at me..

however i jsut wonder what can you say about toto toilets, i found one review thats making it clear for me whih one is the best… many sites are talking about the best but when you check you end up reading a lot ofdifferent models of toilet which is really frustrating for me.. before i buy one can you comment something about this review here http://www.bathkeep.com/best-toilet/ ?

I dislike the design of modern toilets because the pans are too shallow with almost horizontal sides, with a small outlet at the bottom and about 3 inch of water, therefore waste does not fall into the water but on the sides of the pan, which means cleaning the toilet every timeit is used using a brush, more cleaner and more flushing, where is the water saving in that!

I am new to the practice of squatting. After considering the option of feet firmly on the floor or precariously balancing on the toilet seat, I thought about a solution that doesn’t tear up my bathroom prior to putting the house on the market and believe that a small bed pan on the floor would be a good solution, kind of like an adult potty, which, even though I can claim some great benefits of continuing to squat, why do I feel like I am an adult that has gone potty?! Now I need to find out how to make a small, foldaway one that I can take when I travel…. Hmmm… Where did I put that Origami book?

i live in Mindanao island of Philippines. The native people here, after THOUSANDS OF YEARS of cleaning their bottoms with poorly aimed splashed water and a left hand, are slowly getting into the t.paper habit. IT IS MORE SANITARY to start the job with paper. You wouldn’t dream of cleaning your teeth without a brush! One needs to move on to a second stage of wet wipes. In fact, I myself use a third stage of wiping with 40% alchohol-wetted paper.

The ancients didn’t avoid paper because it’s cleaner. They avoided it because they were too dirt poor to HAVE paper, much less properly made absorbant paper.

Living and working (Do you think the natives can export cacao by themselves?!?) in the Third World as I do, i’m quite tired of hearing people in Bezerkely or wherever, talk about how lovely tribal life is. It is nasty, short, and brutish.
