For particular community people (for gents), they need brick after urinating. This is the truth and I am not jocking.

Hi first of all I'd like to tell u people to understand the question. The person asked why we find bricks in toilets (not in tanks). But, many of gave thinking of tanks. Yes, certain community (as one of our friend referred). I'll specify Muslims as far as I know, use the bricks after urination let it be in toilets or any public places. I've seen my friends searching for small pieces of brick while urinating in public places. They just touch the brick on the tip of the ****. I don't know why they do. Cos, I never asked them and I am not intrested in it at all.

Hopefully it's in the toilet tank and not the bowl.
It has to do with replacing water that would take the same place as the brick. So that's the water that you save, maybe 16 oz.
By the way sometimes you have to flush twice when something big needs to go down.
What I do, is I ditched the regular toilet and bought an Eco friendly toilet that's pressurized. It uses less water too and stuff goes the heck down!

It was a helpful hint started back during the height of the energy crisis days. The brick in the tank brings the water level up thus using less water to flush the commode. It's actually a very helpful hint and will help you save on your water bill.

Nupakry is right some communities use this to dry up after urination.
Scientifically & Historically it was used in the deserts where water was scarce and infections were an issue with the hot weather. So people cleaned up after peeing. As to why this is still followed today totally baffles me now??? Probably an issue again of mixing a totally logical procedure with religion!

The brick trick is fine but it needs to be put in plastic. Bricks will disintegrate and clog up the works.I use a glass jar filled with glass stones and a plastic lid.

Well certain community gents after urinating use brick pieces to absorb the last drops of urine so that they do not come in touch with their body... which is considered impure !!!!!

To save on water consumption. The brick takes up space
and then the toilet uses less water.

It's a water-saving trick. The tank does not use as much water, but there's usually still plenty to flush the toilet properly.
