A variety of toilets

In Asia,there are two main typesof toilets – sitting or squatting. Before flushing systems were introduced,most Asians went to the toilet by squatting over buckets of water,which the Chinese termed 'matongs'. Squatting flush toilets were therefore the natural step after 'matongs'. However,squat toilets require a level of finesse to use and is often plagued with unpleasant odours.

Squat toilets gave way to sitting toilets,thoughpeople can still find squat toilets across Asia. While they are more comfortable than squat toilets,the extra corners,nooks and crannies around sitting toilets and exposed cisterns can be a hotbed for dirt and bacteria.
