What do you think of the squat toilets that are common in Japan? Personally, I don`t like them. Firstly, it`s pretty tiring to squat. Secondly, you can`t help but be anxious about whether the whole business is going ahead as planned because there is nothing to protect your legs or trousers from splatter. While the position that this style of toilet forces you into might facilitate waste removal, when you have stomach trouble, having to squat and worry about potential mess just adds to the discomfort (when a western toilet provides relief the moment you sit). That`s just my opinion, hope to hear yours.
