What is the adv of the Western Closet apart from the fact that elders & ppl with knee problems need not strain to squat like they need2 do when using the Indian one.
The adv of Indian one as I have seen r :
1) The skin doesn't come in contact with any surface in the toilet
2) When u squat, the abdomen gets the right amount of pressure to relieve faeces. I have been told by WC users that sitting on the closet and having to exert pressure to relieve is not comfortable. These are people with healthy bowel movements, not some constipated ones.
3) When you wash yourself with water, it's much more hygienic than wiping with a tissue which is defnly not 100% clean. Maybe u can cleanse with water and then dry with the tissue
4) You will invariably have to wash your feet and hands, which will prevent germs entering the house.
5) Most imp, in the WC, the faeces either sticks2 the basin or splashes onto the skin.
Despite all this, I wonder y ppl choose WC sometimes. Any medical reasons?
