What a great way to meet new people
+NaafiFudge haha skip right past the acquaintance b.s. and get personal real quick
Exactly! Superficial barriers no longer seem to matter. Can I ask, was hoping to go to Tokyo or Beijing for 4 days prior to Hong Kong this October, are there western style toilets in the really big attractions/shopping centres? One of my rare less appealing qualities is I'm a germophobe :) So couldn't handle this really!
Hey what's up man. How's that poop going?
Holyyyyy shit
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
Don't forget No. 1 rule in Asian Toilet : BRING YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER
YES
fuck that
Tip#2: you don't have to worry about papers if u going to the luxury shopping malllllll.
or buy toilet paper right out side of the toilet, there is always a toilet paper vendor around.
Kuan Gerry and it's OVERPRICED
actually the human body is designed to use the squad pot.
+Gagak Perkasa It's true. Empirical studies suggest that you can indeed poop easier and have to exert less strain on your rectum with squat toilet. As for whether or not the human body was designed to use squat toilet, it's how we evolved. Modern toilet only came into existence like 100-200 years ago. Before that our ancestors poop squatting for tens of thousands of years.
Now that you mention it these "footrests" that people are using along with sit-on toilets do sort of simulate that relationship with the difference that there is some exertion involved in squatting versus sitting.
Asian toilets are designed for arid and semi-arid environments. In order to use a flush toilet properly, you'd have to flush before using it as well as after to get rid of any germs that are festering in there from previous uses.
@@shiinaai2978 When I squat, I will shake and my legs will hurt, causing me to fall on my poop. If I successfully get the hang of squatting, my poop will be on the floor and my piss will spray to the door. The holes are too small which is why I'll use the nice big comfy toilet bowl for all.
Also, there will be no toilet paper. I will walk around with a shitty ass and piss in my pants. I don't know where to watch my hands and there will be smears of poop on the toilet because what if you have diarrhea ON A SQUAT TOILET? I love milk and I'm lactose intolerant. I still drink it although I get that diarrhea. Yes, it feels good to have a nice diarrhea. NOT IN A SQUAT TOILET! I'd rather rest my bottom on the nice, comfortable bowl toilet whilst playing some games on the switch or a phone. Livin' the best life.
Random maybe you are just too out of shape and a fatass
I understand the squatting, but why are there no dividers???!!!
Is to prevent people doing dodgy shit in there
That's communism for ya
Damaris Limon well now we know why China is always the epicentre of viral outbreaks.
Yeah its a nightmare
When you pooping, you still able to socialise with people and make new friend.
People in China actually prefer this to the sit-down toilets. Think of this, everyone who uses a sit-down toilet has to touch it with their skin, which some people think is unhygienic.
Yeah but you can just wipe it down like you take showers there's your solution
yes, home toilet it's always sit down type, but public toilet they want to save space, they always use squat toilet.
yeah uh, I'd rather wash my ass later and be comfortable as I'm crapping. If you're constipated, that's the only time you should squat.
Out in some towns in SE Asia iv seen open air toilets right next to a open air restaurant with flies going about. People be sitting around drinking and eating against a wall about five feet high. Other side of wall would be the city toilet. Some of the people would be eating dog. A very different world. You go to a market and would see dogs in cages along side chickens for sale.
vijay surendran Sorry I can't understand you through your shitty English, try taking a grammar class before insulting other people in their native languages.
Everything's ok but that side-by-side thing?????!!
haven't seen the side-by-side thing yet. There are separate rooms
I would only use the side by side toilet if someone pointing a gun to my head then I'd be traumatised for life both by the side by side experience and a gun pointed to my head
Communism bruh
I’m pretty sure there were dividers at one point but they broke as you can see by the holes that are between the toilets.
@@tonytian8393 exactly
I remember my first encounter with a squat toilet in Korea. I ended up having to do this weird inverted crab position because I couldn't squat without falling over. It was a giant hassle and I never used a squat toilet again.
Actually human body is designed to squat and it’s normal way weather going to toilet or lifting heavy wights .
your legs should support this position and believe me your intestines will thank you
@@oneman1418 most people in western countries haven’t developed the muscles or technique to squad down like that.
@@NoCluYT that's funny lol to much McDonald's
I'm disabled. There's no fecking way I'd be able to use those.
how on earth do people use squat toilets when they are disabled or old or have arthritis etc... ?? I just dont get how anybody who is 80 years old is expected to use a toilet like that or someone with a broken leg , arthritic knee etc... it makes no sense.
what if you have explosive diarrhea?
😀😀
It would help
Greg Hunt ikr. I have explosive diarrhea and I am not going to have it in a squat toilet!!
Then it would be all over your legs. Lol
You get it all over your 👖😂😂😂
I would like to see a real video of someone using this. I was in Thailand and no one taught me how to use the toilet. So I clogged up the thing with toilet paper and I was in there for hours because I was shoving the TP down with a bamboo stick. You grow up real fast in asia.
Lol that made me laugh😀
Jennifer Hernandez
thanks. looking back, if I knew then what I know now, I would've looked for a trashcan to throw it in. Because, I probably stuffed up their toilet.
@@joebarniak why did you clog up the toilet?
Are you supposed to put the toilett paper you used on your butt in the trash can? Seems strange to me regarding smell, flies etc.
YT comment be lit. LMFAO
that's some deep shit...
+Ana Cornelio damn straight
how do asian peeps wipe
You can google it.. this is the most healthiest and natural way to use toilet.. 35degree. Not perpendicual.
i once dropped my phone down to the squat toilet. other than that it's said using squat toilet is healthier than reguar toilet
I dropped my iphone4s in western toilet 3 years ago.
k_s did you get your phone back
yes my grandma picked it up while i was crying
and when i told this story to my crush he told everyone that i poop phones
k_s lol
1:52 THERE'S A NORMAL TOILET RIGHT TO THE LEFT THERE
+Josh Womble Yes but thats mostly not always the case in China. People seem to love the squat toilets over there.
+Josh Womble Those kinds of toilets are designated as the "handicapped stalls" usually in China. Those are the only relief when in China to find a western "handicapped" toilet
YASS
Nathan Sanchez im handicapped 😂😂😂
There is... wow lol
In most places in Japan and South Korea, you get those fancy toilets with bidets and heated toilet seats in public restrooms. There are some homes in Asia that have squat toilets too. So if you visit someone in rural China, their house will certainly have a squat toilet.
I think the sit-on toilet was designed for the reason that it's more user-friendly however I do think that some sort of water cleanse is better than toilet paper.
I remember when I first came across a squat toilet, it was at the airport in Japan. I had to go bad, I was between flights and all the toilets I was use to were being used. I could not figure out how to properly use it, so I got lucky and one of the other toilets became available. Got lucky!
i love how open minded and positive you are
+Gracie C Thank you for the kind words
My high school in Malaysia literally sent this video the whole school because some people doesn't know how to poo properly at squat toilets 😌
Lol r u from chs
@@forfun7506 x2
Just for the record, not all toilets everywhere are squat toilets, it depends on where you are. I have found many places have western style toilets but squat toilets are common. Good tip for bringing toilet paper, but again depending on where you are it may be provided. If I may add, bring hand sanitizer, as hand soap is sometimes not provided either. Good vid though !!!
Ohh Hell no! I'd have to tell someone you are not coming in here and trying to squat down next to me.
for what can be a very uncomfortable or awkward subject, this is very well done! BRAVO and thank you!
Love your videos. Actually some old Chinese people squat on normal toilet seats. When I lived in Hong Kong, I saw many western style toilets with footprints (!!) on the seats. I don't even know how they do that. Anyways. Keep up the good work!
Akiko Goldberg Thanks so much :)
Akiko Goldberg lol because they think it's gross to put your butt on it. 😆
lmao-------that too funny
So relateable😂 Some people think that it's too unhygenic to sit so they step on the seats
@@momouwu1937 seat covers perhaps???
I went in one and someone missed the hole explosion all over the floor
Subbed and liked just because you went above and beyond... You took a big one (or two) for the team.
Lol knowing he made this whole video with cell phone makes me laugh. So easy so simple. Yet so knowledge filled
LMFAO! I love you Kevin. I first like to say, I am personally a Chinese American who had previous living experiences in Shanghai for 3+ years; and I am fluent in the culture and language for both western and eastern civilizations. I wish one day to meet you in Shanghai when I visit during summer/winter vacations. I love your videos! brings back nostalgic memories~
謝了大哥！
***** Glad I could bring you back :)
i used to use this kind of toilet for my entire life and clean my butt with water not papers
and when i go outside my country i just can't believe that people only clean their shits only with papers !! this is sucks how can you walk around while there is a shitty layer on their butts !!!
so disgusting
in my country there is a water in every bathroom, if i traveled away i take bottle of water with me
how can you walk around with a hand just touched your shit?? I know you cleaned it with water but that's still really gross if i think about it.
wait i do not touch my shit with my hand ! i just use the water thing that pushs the water to my butt :D !
Rio Kun and that can clean it better? wow i hope it's not a water gun or else i can't relate to the pain you have went through
hahaha yes it does clean it better , and it doesn't hurt ! I don't lnow what to call it in english but here is a picture for it

So I was minding my own business, watching videos on Asian dumplings and ended up here.. LOL!!! I guess you learn something new everyday, I had no idea they played like that!! Take care, and thanks for the videos.. I'm fixin' to make a crapload (no pun intended) of dumplings for Chinese New Year here in the States..
"So I was minding my own business, watching videos on Asian dumplings and ended up here.. LOL!!!"
I'm wondering how many other people ended up down their own rabbit hole and ended up at this video and got a major laugh out of your comment over the last 4 years. LOL
just different kind of dumplings
This is actually hilarious hahaha, new view, stumbled upon ur channel, love how u started the vid LOL
+RuthlessTragedy glad you found my little corner of the Internet
@@Monkeyabroad انه امر عادي بالنسبة للعرب و المسلمين انه صحي
the real secret is to pull your pants down
to your knees only. not all the way down
best is to just remove them completely to avoid sweat and splashing
Squatting is better for your health.
Shared (Hope this would reduce someone's panic for an upcoming trip to China lol). Thank you for making this video!!! lol
Thanks for that hysterical take on the bathroom situation!
No good for older people with arthritic knees. I couldn't physically get in that position!! Without help I'd never get up again! :-D
or fall in the nasty looking toilet. I wonder if they ever clean them since no one touches them
jiggy loo Those in the video are not clean , I know since we have one in like every house here. And yes , we clean them daily.
you belong to the hole now
Oh i forget to mention that with squat toilet you need not have to worry your butt coming into contact with god-knows-what body fluid or disease the previous person has left on the seat. it happened to me once and after using it without first wiping it clean, I get rashes on a part of my butt! I use the sitting type - but I remember to wipe now first - but in the absence of the sitting type, I'm equally ok with the squat type and provided it's a fast one, otherwise my knee will creak after squatting fro too long!
But next time better to wash dat sit down toilet using water before use. Dats much better.
Thank you for posting this.
I'm Asian and I have never encountered squat toilets before, but I might encounter them in the future lol
New subscriber, a bit terrified to click on this vid. Thanks for the etiquette info stuff. Good to know I need to bring my own " 'tickets'
No thank you! I'll stay comfortably in my home.
you didn't mention an important challenge. the aiming. how to know from the first time you squat that your you-know-what is perfectly positioned above the receptacle. it's a problem for me every time i return to squat-toilet areas
This one is good ! love it ! hahahahaah~Subscribed !!!
Good lord I'm traveling to Asia aka Thailand from Aus for the the time of my life in 4 weeks and nobody ever mentioned this shit to me
I'm doomed
mika e You'll be fine. Good luck, and thanks for watching
U will never be the same again
I would take pee pads and use it there instead and just throw away when done 😂
😂😂😂 grunt those hot turds out with confidence 😘💩
Asia also has Western style toilets. It's all good. And yeah, I am five years late with this reply lol
umm im sad, im asian, and went to Bangladesh and there were squat toilets, but i cant use them correctly

- So Jay, what did you think of, Squat Toilet?
-I really liked it. it flowed smoothly, and it was something new!
[Mr. Plinkett Stumbles in]
-It's been 4 years. when are you gonna fix my VCR?
It's unfortunate how people now think this is unhygienic or repressive. But anyway, I can't wrap my head around the no partition thing. Fuck that.
one day while using a toilet in asia,i slipped and fell while squating. anyone have that brfore?
+wasp1234567891011RBLX How did it feel?
+Urban Chaos 2.0 worse experience ever
Only issue I have is that it doesn't have toilet paper.............
you can use my fingers XD
hahahaha :)
we can use water instead
Americans only use toilet paper is very disgusting, you can use water with hose
I had the same face reaction.. your face tho is priceless!!!
***** haha, thanks for watching
Looks like one would have a bunch of neighbors squatting together during busy hours.
How ironic that the Chinese invented paper yet there is a lack of it in public restrooms. Well these toilets are not as bad as the ones I've encountered in Costa Rica which is basically just a hole in the floor. You should post a video of your experiences in these bathrooms with you having to do your business with someone next to you....is courtesy flushes a thing over there?
+Lomogrammaton I still believe in the courtesy flush!
One question no one has been able to answer yet: how do these things handle violent, gaseous diarrhea without making a mess on your legs?
😂😂😂
Cheezus....THANK YOU for this vid.! I couldn't figure out which way a person was supposed to face etc. It seems ridiculous but, I've never had to encounter a squat toilet. I'm sure its going to be a disaster but, at least I've got some sort of starting point. THANKS AGAIN
Thumbs up! Nice funny way to explain a serious problem:)
hahahha I found this funny every time when I see people post videos about the toilet in China.
But after all, we really shoudnt make fun of it.
Actually, pooping like this would not only increase your leg strength, but also it prevent you from playing your phone for too long. Why, you either too afraid of dropping your phone into the toilet, or your legs would just get num if squatting for another 20 min.
Also, it is much cleaner than the regular toilet. In general, you are less likely drop a huge load of %%^&% right in the water and splash all over your ass.
And speaking of ass, ya, you dont contact with anyone else`s ass.
I dont know why im commenting on this honestly HAHA
+Yuyang Shi Haha, glad you commented. Thanks for watching
Lol , dropped everything out my pants pockets when I used that squat shit
Even if over time I got used to this, I don't think anything could compel me to shit right next to someone with no divider. Imagine you are the poor unfortunate person already in there and someone comes to squat beside you and begins dumping a load.
+glass rune It would be intolerable to me too. I think the walls in between was just broken by someone. Public toilets without compartments must have been built for over 10 years... However, It is still not uncommon that the urinal can be just a long sink in public toilets in China. I get quite awkward using them.
You squat like a true pro :)
I've been watching cleaning videos and I've noticed the toilets I was curious what they were called thanks for the info
how do people in wheelchairs and crutches use toilets in China?
or people with balance issues? I have wondered this myself, I have issues with my leg and I wouldn't be able to use these.
they're fucked
There's no way for people in wheelchairs survive in China. But in Japan, where squat toilet also dominates, there's always accessible western style toilet right beside the normal squat toilet.
Good question.
twiggy 2142
That'd be my issue as well.
Every time I visit India, it's the same way. Thankfully my grandparents have western toilets throughout their house. But if you're in public, there is no escaping the infamous Asian squat toilet..
Love your videos man; I can't wait to visit China soon!
India is a cesspool
you sir are a super hero in the making! saved many poopy pants!
Thanks for the tips
oh my goodness. I'm going to have such a hard time! I'm going to be in China for a month and I have a bad knee which prevents me from squatting or doing anything of this sort. #wishmeluck !
How was your trip?
I mean... If you go to some of the chinese big cities, you are likely to find a normal toilet.
@@themasterofpotatoes9475 Anyway, it's definitely a good idea to experience a Chinese natural restroom.
I was thinking this! What about disabled people, how does this work? I’m 26 and can barely put that pressure on my knees without them snapping
I have bad hips so I'd be screwed.
I have bad knees. If I went down that far, I’d never get back up.
candie1230 me too
So do many people in Asia yet they do it 🤗
One might argue that your hips would have been much better than they are if you'd spent your life squatting. I'm not saying that, though I do often wonder. May soon be going to China (which is why I'm here) and this might be the reason I don't go.
I dont feel comfortable doing my business in western toilet anymore because I am habituated with asian toilet in India almost every house has it.
I needed to squat in a plastic bag in an alley way behind a dumpster one time when things got ridiculous during Covid and they shut down all the bathrooms. I have to say that I felt a lot better going to the bathroom using the squatting position. Most of the waste in your intestines will probably be eliminated in one shot.
Brother you are doing a great job. I'm an Indian and l go daily go for poop in squat toilet. Squat toilet is a very good habit of Indians. All westerners should adopt it. It is the most natural way to expell stools completely from stomach.
Buzzfeed said this was the natural way of pooping.
TundraWolf And buzzfeed is always right
+Kevin Cook For once they are, but that's because they got the information from other sources.
+TundraWolf yes doctors says that a lot you can search for it
+Kevin Cook sarcasm detected. Also I'm looking forward to going to China and making eye contact with somebody while using one of these toilets.
They're wrong. Sitting down is the natural way.
Sadly, the toilet trees our cave dwelling ancestors used went extinct. That is why we make them from porcelain now.
haha.this is the funniest that I have ever seen!
Jane V. Thank you so much! :D
I've been living in Asia my whole life and can't never get used to the squat toilets. I dont understand why people think its more hygienic to sit like that, its just fucking uncomfortable when you hear your feces drop and the smell of it goes everywhere. Even more, some people are so scared of being 'dirty' they even squat on ceramic toilets. It happens in my school and all of the plastic lids end up broken. They eventually remove all the lids. The flush doesn't even function properly, you have to press and hold it all the way otherwise water is not going down, so I have to stand there knowing the bacteria is filling the air and can't even run away from it because my finger has to hold on to the flusher. People keep saying Westerners are dirty since they only wipe their ass but not wash afterwards, but honestly, Asian public bathrooms are nasty as fuck.
Haha
Been to Asia many many times. Have never been in a situation where there are squat toilets with no dividers. Western toilets have become way more common over the years as well.
I'll be honest, this nearly killed my desire to go to Japan and I've been dreaming of going there for forever. I don't care if it's more hygenic and I don't care if it's better for the body. Absolute kudos to the concept, I will certainly give it that. And maybe I wouldn't mind it so much if it were just a little wider. But that strip is so narrow. I know practice makes perfect but...I think if I visit, I'll ensure my hotel hotel has a modern toilet and do my best to limit my food or definitely beverage intake in public, like a geiko (Memoirs of a Geisha (which I know is NOT a reputable source about geiko) only mentioned it in passing that it's difficult to use a toilet in kimono...now that I know what they were up against, I know why!) Actually, this is what I do anyways as I don't like public restrooms.
I still have immense love for you, Asia and for all other customs, I will greatly adapt for. I'll take my chances with the ass diseases (for all the wisecracks in the comments). Western toilets seem a lot more lady friendly :)
Fluffymiyster Thanks for watching, and for leaving such a detailed comment.
Fluffymiyster WOW LOLIf I didn't see it with my own 2 eyes I wouldn't have though it was possible.It's not Japan, it's China, this is a totally different country...
My knees hurt just watching you squat over that toilet!
Good video. Thanks. Only one I could find on this
Just treat it as ........ doing exercise.........that's the only thing I can say.
yuck! what if it hits your shoes... this is insane..
+Rambo Tan It won't. Aim properly and you'll be alright
Actually, sitting on what others ass has sit on is yuk.....I was shocked when I first realised that all public toilets in western countries are sitting toilets...
+YouYou Wu yeah that's why you wipe it down and then put paper where you sit
we have sitting toilets esp in america because most of us are way too fat to be able to use squatting toilets, in fact some of us are almost too fat to use sitting toilets
When I went to visit my cousins in Asia, the home I stayed in had two of these and a westernised toilet. So I'm sure if they have one everyone else does as well.
Very good tips
Note to self: pack adult diapers for foreign travel 🤣
As a Swiss, I am used to clean toilets. I must say when traveling in Italy or France, I would prefer them to have squatters too, because it beats having to sit down on a ring of encrusted feces and urine-piss every day.
Hahahaha🤣dis my first time i saw a tutorial how to use asian toilet i mean da squat one😆 but , its a good video coz people can learn how to use it.
Top tip no one ever mentions and perhaps the most important part: don't pull your pants down all the way or you end up pissing straight into your pants and then in the worst case, lose your balance and tumble into it.
so informative!! how do I get one? are they on amazon perhaps!?? I love to squat!
I have been here for 3 months and on the day that I'm supposed to leave I figured out how to use the floor bathroom
Very Informative
i have found traveling in china to carry a 5 gallon bucket and a roll of paper towels
I live in Asia and I was shocked they used squat toilets in PETRONAS 😅😅😅😅
Thank you for making this video, it is very helpful. Could you explain how to keep your clothes from getting dirty? That is a concern of mine. Thanks again.
I didn't see a comment about this so I thought I'd ask. What's in the baskets on the floor behind you?
Umm I have a question sooo do people
Go number 2 cuz if there isn’t any toilet paper how do they wipe
My legs still fall asleep after 10 minutes and I brace myself against the back wall. I doubt I'll ever get used to sharing a stall with someone!
But where do you put the toilet paper after a number 2?! Just in the buckets besides it even without a plastic bag in it etc...
Last year i used one of these for the first and last time for a sht. I was out for a coffee. I felt stomache pain building up ( bad food during the day ) and the need to goto the toilet very quickly. Only squats were available and i knew i wouldnt last the 5 ish minute trip home. The floor was already wet. So that was great getting wet pants. I didnt know how to wipe as there was only a bucket. Did the best job i could under the circumstances and gave my hands the best wash they ever had. Went home showered and threw the clothes in the wash. I love the toilet hose but not squat toilets...
Too Much Info... Not to mention disgusting 😣
Dude, thank you
"give me some privacy" but there's nothing dividing you from the next toilet.
Great tip for travelers but an alternative is just to find the nearest hotel / high end shopping mall they have normal clean toilets >.< when i visited i planed out my trip and where i can go for washrooms like crazy XD and it paid off, i never used an squatting toilet
oh wow chill
I have a question: should I take off my pants to do my job or what? my pants is swimming in the hole. plz help I need to pss..
Had to use them in India, the squatting itself wasn't that bad besides being afraid of accidentally pissing your clothes but I refuse to use my hand to wipe while paper clogs the pipes... Fun times
Edit to clarify: there also were no bins most of the time so couldn't throw the paper in there either
2023 and still relevant
I'm watching this prairie doggin live in Chengdu.
As soon as you got the point to about there being no toilet paper,
I was emotionally distaught. Have to go!
I wear suspenders. The challenge is to hold them up in front of me to keep from, well you know what would happen if I didn't. In my house I use a toilet seat bidet with two nozzles, a nozzle cleaner and a hot/cold valve (I only hooked up cold) it's a blue bidet 3500. I quit using toilet paper. I just sit there an extra 5 minutes or so air drying. Don't know how I went 60 some years without it. I also got one for my 92 year old mother who is almost blind and has only limited use of her hands.
Did you ever chat with your squad-mate? What will be the appropriate topic to chat?
Really Better then the normal i try this
