Revision history [back]
Hi Rémi, on the squatting versus sitting issue, there are many schools and hospitals where squatting flushing toilets were installed. I guess as a combination of "traditional habits" and sanitation. There is a debate going on regarding squatting as a preferred position. Not only in defecation but also in child birth. I personally think that in toilets a semi-sitting position is the best of all worlds. i.e. a low toilet seat where the person can be almost squatting but supported by the seat. It is much better for a more comfortable (easier) bowel movement. Much easier for children too. regards, 'nando
