@KFergy Bum gun 🤣 why did no ever name it this 😂😂 just a advice clear your pants pocket my friend phone fell down 😅 and that phone was barely save cuase size of hole was smaller 😅
Brother this is not originally from India It is from Muslims Muslims made toilets and they started out like this because it puts pressure on your bum and 🍆 which makes it come out easier Same with the water shower thing for your ass Muslims have to wash their ass with water and then cohert used it as an inspiration
I mean, Cmon as an Indian, it is a HUGE SHOCKER, foreigner wants to know Indian toilet. So, yeah.😅 We like to stay hygienic & won't let our bum touch the pot. That's why Indian style
@@robertshealy2675 india could be a world superpower with just a decade of effective social reform. They already have strong value codes, their infrastructure and community attitudes need work but they're not at all far from running all of asia themselves.
@@THESLlCK y'know that is how humans are supposed to poop right? Our ancestors evolved for millions of years pooping in a squatting fashion, our bodies are evolved for it. Google about it a little bit to get a scientific understanding. Many of the world's leading health websites have posted fact checked articles with papers from doctors backing it up. The Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology posted a paper titled "Implementation of a defecation posture modification device" which proved that implemented of a stool to produce a squat over a sit on a toilet was beneficial. If that source does not provide enough proof please check the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeon's paper "Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Expanded Version". Have a nice day!
@@naturalgoldenjazzyup youre supposed to lean forward on western toilets and breathe but we sit back and push, squatting allows it to flow more natural. also think it helps with hemmorhoids too
The guy that made this comment is Indian, so am I. As Indians we couldn't be more pleased with the existence of western toilets because Indian toilets are torture. Screw the health benefits, it's terrible to use.
Only a third of Americans have a valid passport. It's a relatively selective group that actually make it out of the country in the first place. Go some place outside of Mexico or Europe, and you don't see many American travelers at all. Of those, the vast majority I've met while traveling have been cool and respectful. They can definitely be a little loud though lol.
You think Americans are disrespectful when they travel. You should see the European tourists who come to the US. They are horrific. It’s such a double standard
“pardon me my good sir i’m in a bit of a rush to go empty the compartments of my bowels, would you mind stepping to the side so that i may gleefully dookie”
I remember seeing a video explaining Japanese squat toilets a couple years ago and the phrase "always remember to pull your pants all the way down, if not the hungry squat toilet will eat your money, keys, and phone too" still lives with me
We have those toilets in eastern Europe too. They're becoming less common, but you can still find them. They're actually very practical when you need to go number 2 because it forces you into the most optimal position for doing your business.
@@cata9380 in my country we call them "чучавци" ("chuchavtsi" is how I'd write it with latin letters) and translated it would be "squatters". I know that in some places they also call them bulgarian toilets. It's very funny how these toilets have many nationalities attached to them lol
Indian toilet is good for constipation and gut issues because the squat position is called yoga asna called malasana in which you can relieve your poop so easily
I love your attitude here! You're exploring their culture *incredibly* thoroughly and I just love how excited they are to show you, and you just match their amount of excitement with a face full of questions and smiles.
@yashraj8844 lol western toilets increases chances of hemorrhoids the proof is in the percentage of hemorrhoid cases between Asian and western countries
@@yashraj8844no? Western actually increases the chances of hemorrhoids, because when u sit straight over the seat which u should never do (u should always lean forward and have a stool beneath ur feet to lift ur knees. Which is exactly position u make while using the Indian washroom) Anyways when u sit over the seat, the muscles (i forgot the name) actually hang which increases hemorrhoids.
That guy was so excited to show the westerner the Indian toilet. His smile was super friendly. I feel like some Westerners just assume that all people from other countries hate Westerners and that's not even the case. 😂
When I went to India I was literally treated like a celebrity. I would get lines of people asking me for pictures anywhere I went. They don't see a lot of 6ft tall white men with blonde hair and blue eyes. They seriously could not have treated me any nicer. Indian people are very nice regardless of who you are.
these kinds of toilets are actually all over asia, when they said “indian toilet” i was shocked because i remember seeing this in japan and a few other places.
We in India call them indian toilet. I knew they are used in South and south east Asia. But didn't knew about Japan. I always thought that Japanese consider this unhygienic.
Even if it looks uncomfortable in the ‘modern’ world; when you’re in a public space, the squat toilet is infinitely more hygienic than a seat toilet (your skin does not come into contact with any surfaces, i.e. no contact infections). It’s also physiologically the ‘correct’ way to do your business.
@@wepntechdo you realise your 'normal' is not normal for more than half of the world . I have a western toilet in my house and no one uses that, due to obvious reason of skin contact with the toilet seat and while using the bidget you don't touch the bidget on your bum , it sprays water at pressure so as long as you aren't an irresponsible little kid you won't be making a mess .
So the first time I could personally recall my whole trip to China, I was 4 yrs old and my mom was constantly looking for an actual toilet. I was confused until she showed me the squat toilet and said I would probably fall in so everywhere we went, we were always looking for the western toilet. Every bathroom has at least one
When I went on a school exchange like maybe 10 years ago, the girls toilet was just a long deep drain with dividers and no doors so you just hover over the drain, aim your pee and pray it goes in that drain. It's also really stinky cos of all the pee that missed and end up on the floor.
Yeah, I recently went to China and when I first saw the squat toilet I was so confused on how I use it. My mom literally had to come in and tutor me on how to use it 😂
I respect the Asians for this. My mom is from Kyrgyzstan, so I visit the country from time to time, there are toilets like this (straight up holes) everywhere, and when I see one, I'm like "f*ck, shouldn't have skipped leg day" 😓
1st time I went to Thailand with my ships crew, we didn't know about the floor toilets. Well 4 gallons of alcohol later one of our crew runs out of the bathroom saying someone stole the all toilets. Every place we had been to that day had western toilets and this was the first place that had the squaty potty. After we got an explanation from the staff a few of us tried it out. 3 out of the 20 of us fell as they tried.
Me too. My mom is Thai and she moved back there after I finished college. When I went to visit her, I saw lots of local place outfitted with as little as a hole in the ground. Next to it would be a Thai silver bowl and a pale of water.
tbf a lot of people (especially in the newer generations) have greater concentrations of mental health disorders such as anxiety. it’s a lot harder than just simply stopping!
@@robblly8112 there isn't a change in numbers. There's the same ratio of mental health problems in people now from then. We just simply know more about it and people are diagnosed easier. That being said, there are also a large amount of self diagnosed cases that simply wrong. Life isn't meant to be easy. Some people just have coping issues, don't deal with stress the same ect. That doesn't mean it's a mental health issue. That's people being human. I suffer from high functioning Anxiety. I've been given medication in the past. I stopped taking it long ago and have realized it was just how I think about some things. I over analyze and create ideas that will never happen. I've accepted that none of it would happen, and if it did, I can't control it, so getting upset about it only makes it worse. Using excuses only hold you back
@@bubblesmctoker The prevalence of anxiety and depression among young adults has seen a notable 63% increase from 2005 to 2017. It is important to refrain from attributing this rise solely to "easier diagnosis," as such a perspective lacks a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Assertions such as "the ratio of mental health disorders remains unchanged" lack empirical grounding and do not accurately reflect the current scenario. The escalation of mental health disorders can be attributed to multifaceted factors including the imperative for multitasking, the expansion of media influence, and the heightened levels of academic and economic pressures. The contemporary societal landscape is characterized by significantly greater stressors compared to previous decades. Mentioning self-diagnosis' are irrelevant. They were never once included in my argument nor have any purpose in it. While I empathize with your personal perspective, it is crucial to discern between high-functioning anxiety and other clinically diagnosed conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, depression, and PTSD. These mental health conditions encompass complexities more than mere cognitive processes. The severity of these disorders is variable and cannot be simplified into notions such as "your excuses hold you back" or "simply come to terms with the situation." Such oversimplification overlooks the gravity of these disorders and fails to acknowledge their profound impact. It's ignorant.
One of my classes in japan got moved into a spare room at a university. They had one western and one squat toilet in the bathroom. Some of the train stations had a singular squat toilet per restroom. None of the other foreign students used it. They would rather wait in a line, but it was a cool experience lmao. It seems in japan you either have high tech toilets with bidets and a million settings and heated seats, or it’s basically a hole in the floor.
I recently learned the correct position to go #2 in a toilet is to lean forward and have your knees up to your chest in front of you on a stool😂 it’s supposed to help the system move faster
Yeah they make a stool specifically to assist in the "optimal" positioning for doing your business. Supposedly it's better because for thousands of years that's how we did it, and they say the system works better in a squatted position. Kinda interesting isn't it? I heard about it not all that long ago myself, a friend purchased one of these foot stool things, said it made a noticable difference. I've yet to try. 😂
@@omaimaraj anyone that likes to camp, like really camp in unimproved areas without restrooms, know what's up lol nothing better than a nice poo in a hole, surrounded by nature, honestly lol I know it sounds weird but that's the most relaxed you can really be 😎
thanks for showing interest in their culture its awesome they get to feel appreciated for a moment do you SEE the excitement on their face? man its cool to see.
That's not Indian culture it's just a different type of toilet found all over the world 😂 you probably think double decker buses are English culture 😂😂😂
man you are one salty individual. I hope things start going better for you man God loves you. Its certainly more Indian culture than it is in America I have never seen that in my daily practices. Focusing on technicality's when you saw these men grateful and excited he asked is a sad move. They didn't say the things you did they were simply happy and appreciative to accept and express info on the topic. God offers much healing brother it may be useful to capitalize on the opportunity.@@handsomelarsandhisfabulousjars
@@lolonoazoro420you never heard of the invention for Westerns called the squatty potty? It's easy information Google but we are supposed to sit or squat a tangle when we use the bathroom it makes our bowel movements come out way smoother it's just the science of it I can't really explain it you can Google it like I said and see it quite easily also the same goes for women in childbirth is naturally to squat and deliver your child but actually the whole act of laying down and pushing the baby out came from some King way back that had a fetish for watching his wife deliver children and that's how it stayed
@@lolonoazoro420it'd usually explode ... Backwards, rather than your shoes tbh. But as a woman, you can totally pee on your shoes by accident. At least you don't have to struggle to pee on a dirty seat.
@@skinnycol809 It's not they've invented this, we've been doing it since the cavemen days, it just changed cuz well it changed lol. But what's cool is that the squat formation is also the most efficient way to fully clear out your bowels,.
It's very important!! Do not sleep on toilet education! When I was in Paris I didn't realize how small and how little water their toilets used and I was staying in some old ladys air bnb for a few nights. Went #2 at like 3am after a night out and passed out hard. Woke up to this ladys daughter freaking out and banging on my door and her nice white tile floor covered in my poop water! Do not sleep on toilet education!!
I just bought a bamboo squatty potty bench on Amazon a couple months ago❤ and a bidet last month. The rest of these Americans don't know what they're missing fr!
squat toilets could be found in parts of europe as well, for example schools and other public buildings in ex yugoslav countries like croatia. not anymore though, that was back in the 70s and 80s.
@europaeclipse8171, what is he trying to virtue signal about? The description wasn't like "look at how open and tolerant i am." But you will get mad at anything, ig. Also animals poop differently. Why do you feel the need to be an ass about other people's cultures?
Shut up. People who travel to different places to experience different cultures DO in fact react like this out of curiosity and enjoyment in seeing and experiencing something different. It' almost seems thats why people travel in the first place. 🙄
@@aoki6332ot just 2 countries even Korea the sitting one is decreasing. It's bcz of westernization. I fear even in India the same thing will happen. The Indian style gives more hygiene & comfort.
@@hrodvithit i swear Indian style of pooping is so much faster , we get shit done in literally max 5 minutes . Just drink warm water before going to poop and u good 👍.
Omg yes, one time I had to sit in the bathroom for 5 whole minutes while using the usual toilet while I can take around 2 mins with the squatting toilet
@@zeliyah_00 don't follow the western people and their norms , they are fat and usually have inflexible or short leg muscles so they can't do even a good squat. And then it's messy to do number 2 without squatting .
As an Arab, this toilet has saved my family when road-trips or when we go to a public bathroom 💀 (It’s cleaner Ig rather than literally putting ur ass on a toilet when u don’t even know who the fuck sat on it-)
I went to a toilet in France that had a toilet exactly like this. At the time I was like wtf this is weird, but I did what I needed to do and after bought it up to my friends after because it was all new to me at the time and I was just so puzzled by it and made for a great conversation. 🤣🤣
For people who don't know this was there during the British rule . So in trains the Indians would be seating in low cast section while the British in first and in low cast there was only one bathroom called the Indian toilet and in first is the western
Every train that I rode in China had the squat toilets exclusively. Let me tell you, the handrail on the wall becomes your best friend really quickly when you need to go but the train is rocking like crazy. 😂
Yeah I’ve used it more than once not in India or in china and there was pee all over the floor. It was gross. It’s easier for men because they can keep their pants on and can aim. For woman you have to completely take off your pants and put you legs and hands on the sides of the stall. (They have tall stall walls (unlike America lol)) wouldnt recommend
There's a few countries that have toilets like that, the most modern being Japan. It actually lines up your bowels better for more affective #2. I sometimes put my feet up on a stool in front of tue toilet for that reason, try it.
I know you’re not really asking but pooping while squatting cuts the time you take in half and is way better for your innards. It makes a lot of sense, really- humans did not evolve with toilets they evolved by squatting to poop
Brother this is not originally from India It is from Muslims Muslims made toilets and they started out like this because it puts pressure on your bum and 🍆 which makes it come out easier Same with the water shower thing for your ass Muslims have to wash their ass with water and then cohert used it as an inspiration
Weirdly fun fact about this: squatting to eject waste is actually way healthier for your body. In the short term, it aligns your digestive tract to make it way easier on the muscles, and in the long term, that helps avoid developing a umber of health problems associated with a western style toilet (like hemorrhoids, for example). I keep a step stool in my bathroom to give myself the effect of squatting without actually having an Indian-style toilet (I call it the "stool stool" because I think it's amusing).
They make things called “squatty potties,” and I like your name for the stool better. I need a taller one for my bathroom cuz I just have the small still I picked up for my kid to reach the sink, which doesn’t even help her since we moved.
@@peacelovewar98 Really you don't even need the stool, you can just squat with your feet right ontop of the toilet seat. It might feel weird at first since its not what people are used to but it works well and just like squatting. Can only really do it at home tho (obviously).
@@normalchannel2185 Not really, I have been doing it for over 30 years and never fell over or broke a seat. Its really very simple, but I am naturally slim and 140lb so easy for me to balance or squat, prob harder for bigger people
i WISH we had these in america. i literally always squat on my toilet bc i don’t have a squatty potty but it’s just so much more comfortable and is proven to help bowel movement better anyway lmao.
how do you not fall? also if you want the same thing as a squatty potty you can use a step stool! I use that and it helps. Can't imagine trying to balance

In my country we call them Arabic toilets lol and most places/households (mine included) actually have both regular toilets and Indian/Arabic/whatever they're called toilets. They're also very healthy and a lot of times when a person is having trouble going #2 people will recommend that they use the Arabic toilet and it always helps because of the squatting position.
As a southeast asian, i can confirm that those kinds of toilet can be found in every household also in asean countries, some houses dont even have the western toilet, just that one
Yeah, but after colonization of India, we just started calling our old style toilets as Indian and the new pot style toilets as western...it's not like we are taking credit for a simple hole in the ground type toilet lmao, it's just a simple way for people who are not familiar with modern ways to differentiate between the two 😊 Love from India
I have heard that Indian toilets are better in the long term as they have less chances of catching haemorrhoids but convenience in western style is more
Our Shenzhen business partner only has the lunge toilet, they are absolutely fine. Most campsites in France that we went to when I was a kid had them as well.
