This apartment is a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom. This is the second bathroom. This is a squatter toilet that is a traditional toilet in India. Thankfully the other bathroom has a Western toilet so I do not have to learn to squat to use the toilet. We don't use this bathroom, we keep the door closed all the time and I only opened the door to take the pic.I don't have much to say about these squatters other than it is so unnatural to me to do this that if I had to I don't know really what I would do. I guess if I were in a position where this was my only option I would figure it out, but I certainly won't be using it while I'm here.
Personally as someone that has, on occasion, had to use a squatter, I think this is a fine specimen. Mostly because it's not a public squatter. Imagine using one of these while wearing a pair of pants. You have to pull down the pants, but only so far, balance...pull up the pants a little with one hand (you don't want the hem to touch the floor) and hold onto the wall, if available, with the other. Now figure out how to ummmm wipe..you only have two hands.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had to use a "honey pot" in Gambell, Alaska when they were without water for over a month. Not fun either.
