I can see how they'd be useful in a public washroom since it'd facilitate a quick turnover while being fairly clean. However, I'd need a proper sit down toilet for my own residence since that's where I do most of my reading.

I feel sorry for people who can't take handheld games consoles to the bathroom..

Seems that peeing in a squat toilet would be difficult to do for a girl, unless wearing a skirt or a dress. ><

all i remmeber was being scared by the train ones! they were really just teh ceramic bit and a hole in the floor of the train
i was scared stuff would fall out of my pockets (i decided to hold on till i got to my station)

I managed to avoid using them while i was there; found many western ones on department stores and coffee houses Mum used one thouh and didn'y have any problems

one thing i have learnt though is that public toilets don't provide paper / tissues.. we wondered why we were being handed little packets of tissues with advertising on all the time (when is rude to blow your nose in public..) now i know

I can see how that style would be more practical for when wearing traditional kimonos; just lift up the skirts... especially when there's alot if layers
