Squats are all we have at my shop and they are still the most common all over the place here. I prefer them. Totally "no touch", the position opens everything up wide so there is little residue and it's good for the quads to boot!

I have one in the house in the "day toilet" and it's the go-to commode.

I hope that I never have to deal with one.

That squatting position is almost impossible for most of us westerners. Most of us cannot even touch our heals to the ground when in that position, and that makes balancing exceedingly difficult. Also, unless one can remove ones pants, there is the danger of soiling them. Taking them off can be a problem too because if the floor is not clean, it is just about impossible to remove one's pants without soiling them and generally there is no place to hang them.

One of the first renovations we made when we bought our house was to put in a special-order tall "water closet" in the master bath. It's actually Cap's toilet since it's almost too tall for me, but it will do in an emergency. It has a deeper bowl so the water level is lower. He know longer complains of a "wet willie." I cannot even imagine. Yuck!

There are also wall-mounted toilets available. The nice thing about them is that they make it easier to wash the bathroom floor. Probably they could be mounted at any desired height. Of course the plumbing rough-in would have to be designed for it and it may be that the wall studs would have to be heavier to support the weight. They are also more expensive.

I have never soiled my pants. It's an extremely clean process and there are special bathroom slippers one must wear while in the bathroom of a private home. You change out of your house slippers and into the bath ones before walking in the bathroom. Of course shoes are forbidden in all Turkish homes.

I came across this old thread and thought that it deserved to be bumped. Elongated toilets are especially great for guys.

I love my home, but have always disliked the standard round toilet that seems to be made for small people. The issues are:
1) The tip of my dick would occasionally touch the inside front of the bowl when I needed to sit.
2) My balls often took an unexpected dip in the toilet water. Really bad in the winter!

The plumber suggested that I could replace my old toilet with this new Kohler model:
KOHLER Highline Classic the Complete Solution 2-piece 1.28 GPF Single Flush Elongated Toilet in White, Seat Included-K-11499-0 - The Home Depot

The extra room in the front is greatly appreciated, and the added height makes it easier to use. New toilets use less water per flush than older toilets. The water saving will pay for the toilet over time.

As near as I can tell from observation, elongated toilets greatly outnumber found toilets, for good reason as you have pointed out. However, most of them are the low type rather than the better higher ones. Some people, as they age, require higher toilets. I don't know why the original equipment ones aren't higher.

Water saving toilets are better for environmental and also other reasons. However, replacing a toilet to save water might not be justified by economics alone, depending on circumstances. Figure how much, including parts and labor, it would cost to replace a toilet to save water. Then, figure out what your interest rate is. It should be a minimum of 4% if you have no debts, i.e., car loan, home mortgage, etc. If you do have such a debt, use that as your interest rate. Then multiply the total cost of the toilet by that interest rate. Unless your annual saving in water exceeds that result, replacing the toilet could not be justified if economics were the only reason.

Here is a theoretical worked example. Suppose that your interest rate is 4% and replacing the toilet cost $1000. Multiplying $1000 by 4% equals $40 per year. So, unless your water bill were reduced by at least $40 per year, replacing the toilet could not be justified if economics were the only reason. A similar approach is also valid for other investments, such as replacing a refrigerator or furnace with a more efficient one. The payback years method is not valid.

I have an elongated toilet at home but a smaller rounder one at work. The one at home also has a hand held sprayer attachment which is used like a bidet, so I can easily reach from the front to clean up. The round one is kind of gross in that my junk is more likely to touch the inside of the bowl. I installed one in an apartment because the door would have bumped into the bowl otherwise. And only twice have I used a toilet where the water was so high I had to keep my dick from touching the water. You guys are blessed!

As for the other part of this thread, Squat toilets are great. I first used one in France and loved it. I’m pretty flexible and have no problem squatting. I don’t know what people are doing if they are getting their pants soiled though. Just lower your pants and underwear and you should be fine. I had mentioned squats to a buddy before I went to France and when I finally found one I sent him a pic of myself using it which he found hilarious. I now have a squatty potty at home which is so comfortable and easy to use.

In some countries a hand held sprayer near the toilet is common. I've wondered how people use them without getting water all over. My previous house had a bidet which I found very helpful. I like good cleanliness and that is impossible to achieve with dry paper. I'd have a bidet installed in my present house except there isn't room for it. There are toilet seats with a bidet attachment but I don't know whether those would deliver a strong enough stream of water to be very effective.

I just finished up a road trip, staying in about 8 different places over two weeks........I’m thinking there should be a thread listing places with bad toilets to avoid. I’ve got about 6 with either tiny round toilets or ones with too high a water level, lol.

Anybody figured out a diplomatic way of asking about the toilets in a VRBO?

Need to get a new toilet and am wanting a polite way of asking about the water level, in the bowl.

Since this is LPSG, the issue is my dick hanging in the water (on super hot days also my balls), hate when one or both happens.
I know the older American Standard toilets have very high water levels, so I'm reluctant to even look at them.

-OR-

Do any of you have a toilet model to suggest.

(I know this is reviving an old thread–too bad.)

What is the water level like in this bowl?
