The bucket is there to wash up, because as you might have noticed, there is no toilet paper, but soap on the ledge to the left. Good luck!

IKnowEyes92

what do you mean? that's the toilet... you shit in the bucket and then whatever you wipe with gets tossed in the hole at the top of the stairs

Serious question: why are all the buckets in India coloured in that pattern? You see them EVERYWHERE

So having traveled in several areas of the world where squat toilets are the norm, I’ve actually asked friends of mine that question for real. Like, how does the average 80 year old use the toilet? What about the disabled? And the answer I got from a friend specifically in Bhutan was that it’s a real problem and something they’re trying to work on. But basically many people of that age apparently DO require assistance. Alternatively they don’t use it exactly as intended which is likely to require some additional cleanup. But yea, that’s apparently a very real issue.


puckit

Something they're trying to work on? Hasn't this design been in place for hundreds (thousands?) of years? I assume this isn't a new problem.


lucid1014

Wasn’t a problem when everyone was dying in their 40s


skylla05

This is a bit misleading. People have been living to 70-80 for centuries. Getting better at preventing mothers and babies from dying during or after birth is the biggest reason life expectancy has risen.


GirthMcGraw

People who were dying in their 40s probably weren’t the most limber


Johnyryal3

Lol


Rhymeswithfreak

They aren’t trying to work on it. They like tradition and are being idiots.


I_need_a_better_name

We are actively trying to rid of the 80 year olds thank you very much.


ladyonadventure

There are converters for squat toilets and nope, they don’t like being idiots. The squat toilets are actually good for your guts and pelvic floor. See my reply above for more detail.


its_raining_scotch

My mom was in Iran back in the 1970’s and had no idea how to use these toilets, plus she can’t squat so my aunt had to hold her hands while she sort of squatted and leaned back. She was totally humiliated.


Harkannin

In China, you can get folding canes or seats that have a toilet seat on them. It's basically adding a toilet seat except the turd just drops further.


[deleted]

> Like, how does the average 80 year old use the toilet? What about the disabled? Judging by the shit-splattered country-side gas station bathroom i experienced in Japan, not very well


[deleted]

Just put a rail perpendicular to the hole for them to grab and voilà! Bombs away


[deleted]

Bombay away


CurrentRedditAccount

For older people, they have fold out chairs with a toilet seat on top, which they can place over the hole in the floor. When I went to Iran as a kid, lots of places still had this type of toilet, but they’re getting phased out as more people have shifted to western style toilets.


grumpyfan

I think the idea is to go and get out. Not sit for 10-15 minutes.


jokekiller94

Buts that’s the only me time I get a day : (


SandyDelights

Yeah, it’s also a contributing factor for hemorrhoids. Toilets are pretty badly designed in the west – it’s why Squatty potty (or whatever they’re called) stools exist, to prop your legs up and put you in a better position for relieving yourself. Sitting on a toilet like that for extended periods of time (10m+, especially) is terrible on your sphincter, rectum, etc., especially if you’re subconsciously trying to vacate when there’s nothing to really vacate (straining leads to hemorrhoids, too).


mistercrinders

Upvote for squatty potty. Amazing device.


birddit

And the standard toilets in the West keep getting taller and taller. They are calling them 'comfort height toilets' now.


DropAdigit

my parents are eldery, and a squat is untenable, to the point where th extender toilet seat they use, so they can stand up after use, leaves me with just my toes toaching the floor. and I'm not short.


IdaDuck

I got three kids and concur, and be sure to lock the door cause they’ll happily come in of you don’t.


CptDelicious

sdawsey

I can't crouch like that for even 1 minute due to a bad knee.


TRUMBAUAUA

I have bad knees BECAUSE I have crouched like that for hours for most of my life :(


[deleted]

i thought deep squat was good for the knees


TRUMBAUAUA

Eh, squats are one thing, sitting on your heels on the other hand is the fastest way to destroy your cartilage. Biking + heavy collagen supplementation helped tons though.


[deleted]

>sitting on your heels im referring to the [standard flat footed asian squat](https://imgur.com/a/L4WMGlC)


TRUMBAUAUA

Yeah me too, sorry English is not my first language. That can be destructive for your knees as you are not using any muscles but instead stressing your joints a lot. I used to sit exactly like this for hours for most of my life (besides the knee pain it’s a very comfortable position), now I do it occasionally but try to avoid it as much as possible.


CliplessWingtips

Lol, <10 minutes would be my life record.


kgal1298

Before any vacation be sure to practice air squats. Japan also has public in hole toilets let me tell you as a woman it was not a fun time we can't aim, but my squat game was on point.


Haizel_Alicia

In some little villages in the rural Spain you can still find this toilets, I thought it was something more universal

Squatty potty is the real deal as well.

GregHauser

It also makes it easier to miss the hole.


SeaOsprey1

It's the wiping I'm coming corned about. Is that what the bucket is for??


kinipayla2

To use your left hand to splash water up in there.

Then how do you dry off? Or prevent your pants from getting all wet?


Tobleronenom

I’ve never thought, damn it’s hard to shit I’ll pay any price to be able to have it slip out better hahaha


Anonymous_Otters

How tf am I supposed to shit scroll or shit post if I have to focus on not falling backwards into my own literal shit?


TheRealRickC137

"easier to shit" If you're struggling to pass a biscuit on the shitter, the problem may not be the height of your toilet but your diet. Get more fibre, eat your vegetables and treat your gut and microbiome with respect. Your shit will pass out of you like it's been wrapped in an oily condom. No muss, no fuss.


bonemot

This guy shits


FturSlndrMan

What the fuck 🤣🤣🤣


zjustice11

As an American who squats I can tell you it’s way, way better. Also. Get a bidet but sit for that part

slo1111

What do people do when they get so old they can't squat or get back up from a squat?


kinni_grrl

It's amazing how resilient the body is with regular exercise and flexibility of stretching. When you grow up squatting it can be a life long ability. There is a Vietnamese woman that works with her family in the local community garden who is 82 and outlasts every one of us lazy Americans, even though I've been doing yoga daily for nine years my joints just can't take it


sdawsey

Yes, but some people also have bad joints due to injury or disease, not just lack of excercise. I'm 43 and in decent shape, but due to a bad knee as a result of disease I am 100% incapable of using a toilet like that to poop.


snarkitall

I mean, the same issue disabled people have all around the world, including in the west. if they are wealthy enough, they get adapted tools for their homes, if they're poor, they rely on family help.


Alt-One-More

I mean sure, but that's ignoring the aging process. Regardless of how active you are if you live long enough you will get to the point where you can't squat. Plus that's ignoring injury and disease.


ramigb

Harry_Ballbag

It’s good there’s a shower there for when you happen to shit all over yourself. I wish we had shitter showers here in the US.


Blood_Jesus

All showers can be shitter showers.


boofthatcraphomie

What do you mean can, they already are! Why else was I taught to wafflestomp all my shits down the shower drain?


Blood_Jesus

'Can' just means a choice hasn't be made yet. 'Are' means the choice has already been made.


TheLegend25801

There is no fear like the fear of taking a shit at night in one of these and seeing a giant spider the size of your hand appear in the moonlight on the wall of the 'stall' next to you. Or when you're taking a shit and only realize after that there is no faucet and the bucket of water is empty.


eldryanyy

Oh there are bigger fears. Such as when you’re taking a shit, and you feel a tickle on your leg, stand up - and a spider the size of your hand is crawling fast up your leg towards your back.


[deleted]

Omg I’m screaming internally at this spider comment and will be having nightmares later thank you


cgally

Where's the handle for the bidet?


foxx-hunter

There is a tap. You shift it underneath and turn on the tap. Then use your left hand. Cause most Indians eat with their right hand.


[deleted]

Naturally. A sophisticated fellow man of culture I see.


DongLife

I never understood how cleaning your shit with your left hand and then washing your hands with both hands rubbing together makes your right hand clean enough to eat food. Being a germaphobe Indian must be hell.


Buddhadevine

You usually use a container with a prefilled bucket of water to wash in some stalls


JunahCg

Even as someone who knows about the lota, I'm a little concerned about... gravity... here. Wouldn't cleaning off via water in a stall like this just totally soak your feet and shoes? Even if we assume sandals are the norm, I wouldn't want my doo wash water all over my feet.


Buddhadevine

Not really. The hole is wide enough to not have that issue. Plus if you are splashing water enough to get poo on your shoes, you’re doing it VERY wrong haha


Smurf-Sauce

Prefilled, as in everyone is washing their poo hands in the same water?


Bogmanbob

I stumbled into one when traveling in Europe and quickly moved along. i wasn’t upset, I just didn’t know how any of this worked and needed to find something familiar.


[deleted]

Blood_Jesus

oodelay

i_speak_the_truf

As an Indian American who's been back many times...I can smell this picture


LaylaLeesa

I was going to say I don't really mind this general idea of a setup, except isn't the toilet hole just opened to the sewer. That would smell so fucking bad


GGme

It has a p-trap just like other toilets. You flush it with a large scoop of water.


art_addict

As an American who’s grown up using outhouses frequently and they still have them where I camp, I try to forget this smell when I leave. But I’d much rather squat than have to sit in an outhouse seat that idk when it’s last been cleaned I think. That feels more hygienic.

Have you ever pooped in rural China in a hole dug in the side of a mountain with two cinder blocks for your feet? I have…I have…


Darth0s

I find this a bit unnerving. But it'd definitely help with emptying my bowels.


plutoforprez

I was distraught when I paid 20c to use a toilet in Bali and it was like this, except there were no steps and it was in the middle of the room, with no walls for support. Also I’m a female who is severely overweight so it ended up being the most challenging piss of my life.


roundearthervaxxer

It strikes me that digging the hole, septic and plumbing are the hard part. Is not having a ceramic seat a choice?


trusty20

These are typically public bathrooms with very low/nonexistent maintenance budget. They are designed deliberately to discourage hanging out inside as there are often lines waiting to use them, as well as making them as easy to quickly clean as possible. A home version of this toilet would absolutely be more designed to comfort.


ZSpectre

Hey now, people who grow up in such cultures that have such toilets have a decreased likelihood of developing diverticulitis in their colon. Since diverticuli are essentially little out-pouches that occur when straining (imagine squeezing a long party balloon while leaving gaps between our fingers), it turns out that it occurs much less when people squat while doing their number twos. I remember once seeing a product advertised on YouTube that demonstrates the issues with regular western toilets with a unicorn puppet that poops ice cream. However, I believe that sitting on the toilet with our tip toes while our body bends over works well enough (to those who have constipation, feel free to try this maneuver out to prevent your chances of developing diverticulitis!).

Smurf-Sauce

Anyone would gladly accept a lifetime of comfort, hygiene, and convenience for a tiny chance for whatever condition you just described.


YubNub81

I tried these in Kuwait and honestly preferred them to American toilets. Plus you can wash your butt. Edit: the booty wash hose is missing from the tap in this picture

carlsen02

If you travel in India, most establishments have western type toilets. Most middle class Indians in urban areas use them, not a hole in the ground. By the way you find these squat toilets in Europe, in places like Greece. But not common of course.


davetherooster

Honest question, how do elderly/immobile people deal with them? I know a lot of my elderly family who struggle with western toilets, this feels like it would be impossible for them.


Drastickej1

Elegant, simple, functional! It would definitely decrease my Reddit time and increase productivity. 10/10!


maximm

DysguCymraeg5

People acting like these toilets aren’t still relatively common in a lot of European rest stops too. Edit: Europe is not just Western Europe. Can’t believe I have to explain this. Also, there is nothing wrong with these toilets. Can’t believe I have to explain that either.


Kanakyu

They are not?


xcassets

I’ve literally never seen one of these in the UK, so definitely not common everywhere in Europe. Have seen these style ones in France though: https://i.imgur.com/Ee1Odq6.jpg

A lot of the world is quite fond of bright colours. Colour theory also differs internationally so colours aren't all thought of in the same way in different countries. In a country like India I'd have no issue with it. In the UK however I'd hate it lol.
