China toilets, just been reminded of them - anyone find them okay?

[sophiedunn01]

I went to china a few years ago with my family and tbh i just didn't like the idea of squatting low to the ground at all. i practically peed like a boy half the time because i didn't want to squat. what do other people think of them?

Squatting is considered more hygienic in many parts of Asia, including China. The person using it doesn’t make contact with the toilet surface, which can help prevent the spread of germs.

Well, as long as you pee into the toilet that is.

i get that i just hated lowering myself so low to a dirty ground

The Chinese, and other oriental races, don't just squat to go to the toilet. They do that when getting down while working in the fields too.

I have been to various countries that do it similarly.

[sophiedunn01]

[Red_Arrow]

Some countries in Europe along the Mediterranean coast. Also Japan decades ago. Don't know how they are now.
