    It is very very clean............... Don't touch anybody with your left hand! Well that makes a lot of sense.

    Thank you for showing Westerners a topic that is... sensitive to many Westerners!!! There should be no embarrassment, and we thank the commentator/presentator for his tasteful and complete description of "essential knowledge" for any Westerner visiting areas of Asia other than the "big cities" which usually have western conveniences! Great presentation of a sensitive topic!!! The presenter did a better job explaining than any Western person I know!

    Its a priceless moment seeing a foreigner running to the bathroom from eating spicy food just to find out there is just a bucket and a mug with no tissue without an instruction manual. What would one do then? :)

    This was very interesting to me. I was only 19 when I was in the Air Force and I was stationed in Kuwait. I was told not to shake hands with the left hand but never knew why. Now I know.

    Dear Sargunaraj
    I came here by chance and could't control my laughter for your sense of humor. I live in France and I know how much difficult for me with tissue and I avoid using public toilets as much as possible. I prefer to do my business at my home and then take a bath afterwards. This is very essential especially next day after having very spicy dish.
    Keep posting and sharing your sense of humor.
    Regards
    Anand

    I can't speak for everyone here in Australia, but in our household we use toilet paper for, err, number ones, & baby wipes for number twos & feminine hygiene. I agree that toilet paper is not an efficient method for cleaning after number twos; it would be like having a bath by rubbing a dry towel over your body. Sorry - I'm trying to be as PC as possible!

    @ManlyOBeeferton 11 років тому +18

    While squatting is a healthier way to go to the loo, tissue paper (and some water if necessary) is DEFINITELY cleaner than using your left hand!! It cleans more thoroughly and means your hand doesn't come into contact with the faeces.
    Even if you use soap to then clean your hands, that soap bar will then have germs on it which will be passed on to the next person who mightn't wash their hands thoroughly enough.
    A western-style toilet with a simple step to aid squatting is the best method.

  • @VivinPaliath
    @VivinPaliath 13 років тому +17

    Here's some fun trivia. Kakoos comes from the dutch word for toilet or outhouse "kakhuis". This was probably a loanword into Tamil from Malayalam since the Dutch first landed in Kerala (or the area that would later become Kerala). The Indonesian language uses the same dutch word as well.

  • @sushil1111
    @sushil1111 11 років тому +4

    We use left habd for cleaning the bottom, and when we take the soap we take it FIRST in RIGHT hand, form the lather and then bring both the hand together, this is done twice.
    One more important thing.... we keep two soaps in bathroom, the toilet soap is generally different from the bathing soap.
    THIS IS THE CLEANEST WAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

    Sir.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the proper way to use the eastern style toilet. Understand though that it is difficult for Americans to clean themselves with the bare hand because of our own taboos. But, hey......when in India do as the Indians do and pass the salt....with the right hand please.

    @jessicaroopa 11 років тому +5

    He's saying you use water and wash with your left hand. I'm sure that your own excretion will leave your hand after you wash it off your hand with water perhaps while you're still seated but after you have washed your butt properly (at this stage your left hand is still not clean but shit is not on your hand). THEN go to wash your hands thoroughly with soap. Now your hands are clean properly. Actually even doctors such as Dr.Oz recommend washing your behind. - :)

    Enzymes in the sewer system actually consume the toilet paper, so it is quite sustainable. Also, most toilet paper is made from harvested trees, or recycled paper.

  • @vasudevokhde52
    @vasudevokhde52 10 років тому +26

    My compliments for the explanatory video. However, there is a basic flaw. The water is poured from the front not from the back as shown in the video. If you try to pour water from the back, it would be extremely awkward, difficult, you may sprain yourself and may even lose balance. Pouring water from the back is done only when it is done by someone else, for example by a mother for her children, as that is the most practical thing to do. However, for one's own use, it has to be from the front only.

    Now there are western toilets everywhere in India and eastern toilets with good system so that anyone can understand its use. This video shows a very rustic toilet which you'll get if you go to very rural places. In hotels even small hotels you will get western toilets but may not get toilet paper. In India we use water to clean as we think water cleans everything. Yes there is no relation with the handshake and doing toilet job in left hand. Thanks. I request the uploader of this video to use some animation or paintings rather than doing himself. (Very funny ! LOL). Western people I assure you that you will get a very different things(good), language than what this video says and this is typical south Indian style very different from other three parts of India. Thanks

    @MrArunavadatta 11 років тому +3

    splashing a bucket of water is necessary after the act and many of the toilets have flashing system as well.It is not an issue. Yes, in public toilets it may lead to diseases,but not at home.Both the hands could be used for cooking once they are washed.

    To the Indians who swear Wilbur and think its a disgrace to Indians, here is my reply! He is not showing something that is not done in India! He just explains how to use Indian Latrine system and clears the taboo of how it used!! Is that anything wrong?? If you think its wrong, then you are a disgrace and you should not take shit next time in Indian latrine! To be honest, this is a brilliant video and have to appreciate his brilliance and to show what we do! also appreciate that he is not shy!

    @lucifelmartell 11 років тому +3

    if you are a noob then yes... also if if you feel you will be taking some time in there then its always better to take your pants off and squat freely... its more comfortable... But once you are more comfortable and you are generally quick with your business you can actually drop the pants till your knees and squat... and since your thighs and upper calf will be pressed together your pants won't move .... and as i said with practice you will wash like a pro... :D

    The best toilets are in Japan. The new toilets, not the old ones.
    They are very comfortable with heated seat, and the jet spray of water really cleans you well.
