Examples

“One thing that China has that China can keep is its toilets – 'squatty potties' as we so affectionately called them. They are holes in the ground with a place on each side to put one's feet. Some of the more elegant ones are porcelain but that doesn't change what they are.”
“Hole-in-the-floor "squatty-potty" toilets are the rule rather than the exception in many parts of the world. […] Fortunately, squatty-potties are very sanitary though you'll want to pack your own toilet paper if you'd prefer not to "wipe" with water.”
“I withheld mentioning that if she used the squatty potty, she'd likely have to spray her bum with a hose that we call the "bum gun" or handwash with a bucket of water – both of which accompany most squatty potties in Asia rather than toilet paper.”
