I was stationed in Japan back in the 60s. That was the normal potty. I swore I would never use it but then Mother Nature decided that I should try it.

Rule one is to remove your wallet -just in case it slips out.

The review is an absolute riot! It is a must-read. Thanks, Halibut..

If you've even been to some of the Asian countries, you would be in extreme wonderment.

Once these people have squatted, I don't know how they get up!

They simply unbend their knees!

I also ordered Squatty Potty. It will be delivered today. This thing actually works. Don't ask me how I know.

Yes that would also work for a trial test but in the long run the squatty potty would be more comfortable to use and the price is low.

Having spent a lot of time in the far east, and middle east in the past few years, this position is actually favored by many of the locals. Given a choice, they go into the stall with the "Bombsight Toilet", as many of us westerners call them. Just need to ensure your aim is right on. Two foot pads to position your feet, and many have a grab handle on the wall to help the older bombardier to get back up.

We have these on both our toilettes, and would not want to be without them.

Test out your theory and get back to us, OK?
No no no no no no -- I'm kidding -- I already know way too much about the bathroom habits of other Villagers.

I got my Squatty Potty today and made a dry run. I'm taking my maiden voyage tomorrow. I hope it goes smoothly. On the advice of RVRodie I also ordered the LUXE-Bidet-Vi-110. Who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Talk about a toilet makeover!!
