Anyone experience or experimented this?
I have never used a fully squat toilet but I saw YouTube videos on this topic and the reason why some prefer this.

So in India do you have two toilet styles even in luxury hotels like in china.

Interesting facts. I’m not sure I want to ever use a fully squat toilet. Just an add on to a toilet seat style.

Not everyone has two different toilets. Sitting style are more common in big cities. Otherwise it’s all squat style.
People with knee issues have easier time with sitting style but they might get constipated more.
