    In Taiwan, probably a big majority of toilets, even in public places are of the "squat pot" type, though they are becoming a bit less common. In a public urinal place that does not really cater to Westerners, there may be five toilets, four of them will be squat pots.

    something like below

    Soviet “bomb sight” toilets were “medieval” in comparison to the photo you linked. I’ll leave at the word “medieval”.

        I haven't used toilet paper since,,,, oh shit, since 3 days ago at the last hotel I stayed in in Sardinia. It was an agritourismo and they had no bidet (the sacrilege!!!). They also had gas station type of toilet paper from a dispenser. Ugh. No really, I installed bidet's onto my toilets couple years back and there is no turning back nor need for paper to clean my better half.

          I resist using our sprayer because the water is too cold.

          You were warned.

                That is why you get the toilet seat one. The one I have has "instant" never ending hot water. LOL

                  Some of us run a hot engine in life and cold water spikes my dopamine, among other umentionables. I feel so clean after that i want to show people

                    Get a bidet!!!! Never realized how nice they were until I got one. Hard to go back!

                    Plus, you use quite a bit less toilet paper

                    Mark was evangelizing them at the time. I ended up getting a poor man’s bidet (sprayer attached to toilet) as Mayla prefers them.

                    I still do! We went Bidet back in 2017 or so. I was laughing at all the toilet paper hoarders. I hate pooping without a bidet.

                            We have 5 Bidets in the house. Some have hot water connections, and some do not. I don't care one way or the other.
