I don't mind them at all. The first time I used one I had a little trouble figuring out how to keep my pants out of the way but is is pretty simple. Just drop them to your knees with your legs as wide as possible and squat with your thighs on your calves and everything is out of the way.
However, what Tenchu showed is a whole different ball game. It look absolutely dangerous if you tried to use it properly. I would have to try and hover over it like you do a western toilet that is so disgusting you don't even want to be in the stall but you absolutely have to go. |

But yeah, after being accustomed to those toilets, they must think that our toilets are disgusting with the way we share the seating surfaces. |

Our toilets are disgusting. That's why I nearly always put toilet paper on top of the seat. I only don't if I'm in a hurry.

..only if the normal one in the main bathroom isn't taken of course. "I'm sorry, but i must have given you the impression that I actually care about your opinions"

My option wasn't on the list!
I accept that they're used over there... but I'm not very good at using them (I had to in Hong Kong and Mainland China). My clothes seem like they'll get in the way all the time. A *clean* squat toilet isn't so bad. |
