Turkish toilets

How does people cope with them? Does anyone have any hints on the best way to use them? I still cant get used to them!!!!

hmmmm those lovely hole in the grounds are so lovely and thank god most of them have been replaced by new toilets.i think you have to just squat and hope you dont get your feet wet ( worse if you have had children) as not every aim is perfect i cant stand the water jug thing.i cant see how rinsing your bits with water and no towels etc to dry with is clean.i mean purlease drip dried and put back in underwear does not make a lady feel that clean.maybe someone else can get it off to a tee lets see x

I hate them, had a bit of a shock when i asked how do people use them. get water from jug then use hand to wash poo off arse, then wash shitty hand. load of people still like those toilet's and still install them in new houses or have both.

I don't like to think of people so hands on with their poo then making food yuck.

Oh Hayley, my mind's boggling over your new 'designer vagina'! I have visions of those pretty fountain displays you see in Disney (Epcot Centre, I think) where water suddenly squirts out from all directions!

Of course, those hole-in-the-floor toilets are great for athletic type people who like to keep their thighs firm and muscular. Just think how many pistol-squats a man or woman could do after drinking pints and pints of Efes! After a fortnight's holiday they'd return home with thighs the size of a professional wrestler's!

Actually, when you think about, it's rather strange that so many Turkish men have such thin, weedy little legs considering all the squats they must do each day. You'd think they'd all be walking around with strapping glistening thighs bulging out of their shorts. Although, they are quite agile - so they must be getting some benefits from those loos. Another thing that's gone through my mind.....I wonder how they fit those long canoe-shaped winklepickers into the china feet plates?

Going back to thighs.......that's one of the things that I like about Ertie - he has good, muscular thighs - there's nothing worse than weedy legs on a man.....then again, fat, short wobbly thighs are very off-putting too...

Sitting down over a hole is the best way to do a toilet its healthy

They're vile, squalid, minging and I don't care what anyone says, there is no effective way of keeping them clean.

Eeeeewwwww

Ladybird if you believe 'sitting down over a hole is the best way to do a toilet its healthy', then all I can say is that you live an extremely primitive existence.

I've heard that rats came pop up out of those drains...... And they're riddled with disease.

Poor rats, they catch all the diseases from those private parts dangling whilst in the squat position over that hole in the ground.

I hate them. Will only use them if absolutely necessary. Was shocked when at Mugla Police Station recently (which is a modern building) and they only had Turkish toilets there. I more or less had to undress to use it as I was desperate to go. They were so smelly too! Yuck.

I avoid them at all costs. I perfer to keep my legs crossed until I find one which isnt a hole in the ground. I know its not good for you to hold on to it but I just cant use the hole in the floor type.

To be honest, I've only used them on a few occasions - and not just in Turkey. I do think some are cleaner than others, and petrol station loos vary enormously. The worst thing for a woman (besides not being able to whip the willy out while standing up, and the clothes issue) is the feminine issue - when Aunt Flo arrives.

On car journeys abroad I always make sure I've got a small packet of tissues, wet wipes, tampax and hand sanitising gel. If I'm busting I just have to go - I can't cross my legs for hours - it kills me.

LOL and aunt flo always needs a cigar!
