Doesn't it ever rain at festivals? Although even that has a silver lining in that it would keep the floor cleaner than most loos

I don’t really understand how it saves time. Wouldn’t you have to remove your under garments to use it ?
They say nothing can be seen below the waist , but surely other women in the other compartments can see you when they are standing up.
Maybe I’m not understanding properly.

Getting into a crouch may be just about doable, but I fear I’d never get up again! ?

SueDonim Sat 05-Jun-21 20:03:05

Lord, that’s reminiscent of the kind of nightmares I have about toilets! ?

I’ve spent far too much time in squat toilets to ever want to use them again. grin. It’s great for those who are happy to use them, though!

Not for me, I need to use an accessible toilet.

JaneJudge Sat 05-Jun-21 19:41:21

it just reminded me of many toilet dreams

No.

They'll be great at the start of the day if you've got decent balance and aim (that's me out then), but I have bad memories of squat toilets once they're sitting in a pool of other people's wee and, even worse in some countries, spit, and you're slipping around in it in your flip flops. envy Though if there's still a choice of a standard loo and it cuts the waiting time down, they'd be worth a try.

Could we have it in magnolia?!

Looks like a bedpan unless it's the eyesight.
Who can comfortably crouch down ? Then get back up again without wearing the contents.
Where's the chain ?

It's a brilliant idea.

Perfect for crowded places I would have no problem using it for a pee much better than standing for ages with a never ending queue of people in the women’s queue while the men all pop in and out
I had a hole in the floor in my house for three years when I lived inMalaysia this looks better than that

I have a question. I’ve seen news footage of tractors being used at festivals to tow cars out of the mud. Could I be thrown a rope and hauled back onto my feet after using it please? ? ?

I think it is a great idea for festivals and anywhere there are large crowds, there is still the option of cubicles.

Anyone that has been to Glastonbury will appreciate this.

Well would you use this?
