Take note that the upflush toilets we’ve mentioned are a few of the ideal macerating toilets in the marketplace at the moment, and that means you can’t go wrong no matter which one that you pick.

I only ever had to use one toilet this bad in China. It was more of a trough than a couple of holes in the ground and so you could see everything that was down there really well. Yuck!!

I also had an audience of bored Chinese men watch me go in and laugh uproariously at the look on my face after I came out. Fun times.

The secret to making it easier on your knees and legs is to squat down all the way, so your quads touch your calves, then hang your arms forwards over your knees for balance. Once I learned this move, I stopped minding squat toilets so much!

1. Secure everything in your pockets, hanging from you and on you in your bra or body bag so it doens’t fall in when you pull down your pants. 2. ensure that your camera bag, backpack, etc are securely out of the way. Consider having a friend hold them. 3. Pull down your pants, bend your knees, and relieve yourself. You have to squat less than you think. You can practice at home in the tub, but obviously wash it out afterward. 4. Wipe and put the paper in the waste recepticle. 5. You may only have what you bring to wash your hands with. 6. Never again leave a used napkin on a table, because you may need it in your next pottie. I’ve been carrying used napkins for this purpose for 38 years.
