In America, you don't have these in your public WC's as we do in Bulgariya. They also have these in Japan and a few other places, like Turkiye and Syria.

Also, in America, you don't have to carry around your own toilet paper.

I never saw a bombsight that nice when I was in Turkiye. Where's the 1 kg coffee can filled with water??
I never ran across one with a flush handle. :|

Actually, our public baths are exceptionally clean. Nothing like here when you stop off at a Phillips 66 or a Shell.

Somewhere I heard that those things promote more natural way to expel, um, waste than conventional toilets. I never used it to go for no. 2, but I did come across it somewhere when I needed to go for no. 1. Lemme tell you something. The splash radius of a fluid is roughly proportional to the height of its descent. I figured out what would happen to me even before I used it, because I noticed the floor was wet, but it was an emergency. So I used the wash basin instead. :D

HAHAHAHA
you have to angle your stream to the top of the curved front end...it'll reflect the liquid down into the drain without any splash...lol @ newbs.
Also, your're right. it's a much more healthy way. Hemorrhoids are less of a burden for users of these toilets. The only problem is, while squatting, you have to be careful not to hit the inside of your pants. For this reason only do I detest these public WC's. It's embarasing to tell people that I have to pull a "George Costanza" while going to the bathroom (you know, taking off your clothes before you poo).

funny story.
our company opened a manufacturing facility in Japan in the early 80s. our owner approached a manager here in the states and basically asked him to fly over in 5 days and take over managing the building and ramping up of the new plant. he jumped in and headed to japan.
his wife insisted that if they were moving to japan for 4 years that our company would have to build them a house there.
"no problem" said our management.
so as our guy is supervising the building of our plant he's also having to get his own house ready. japanese toilets were not an option his wife so he had american fixtures flown over. the day they show up he goes over to the new house site and does the hand gesture and drawing on paper routine to communicate with the building crew on how he wanted the toilets installed.
Guess what he found when he got back ... yep ... the first toilet was sunk into the floor so the lid was at floor level.
its a good story ... and i've heard it from more than one person so it may even be true.
by the way ... when i was in japan i saw a few of those toilets ... but far more what i would consider regular toilets.

It may be a more natural way to go, but it's hard on the knees. I've often wondered how some of the elderly manage with those style toilets. Or some amputees in poorer nations.

With my poor balance, I would topple backwards into my own excrement... It would feel like high school all over again.

I guess there's probably not a lot of campers out there who've had to dig their own latrine and try to use it first thing in the a.m. after a night of beer, steak cooked over a fire, and a bottle of tequila. Kind of forces you to learn to balance real fast.
