What is a squat toilet and how do you use one?
assistant
A squat toilet, or “water closet” as it’s sometimes called, is a type of toilet designed to be used by people who are physically unable to sit on a conventional western-style toilet. The user squats over the toilet, with their feet either flat on the floor or resting on a footrest. They then push down on a lever or handle that raises a seat in front of them, allowing them to comfortably use the toilet while standing.
