G-String not just in China. This exists throughout Asia - east, south and southeast. Squat toilet is the best toilet in terms of bowel health and also avoidance of sitting directly on a toilet seat (yuck! and that's why I've never dared poop in a western public toilet unless it's an emergency).
Just to add, I watch Serpentza, and he is a Vlogger from China and is very interesting. For handicap people, China does not like seeing handicapped people at all as they think it makes China look bad. SERIOUSLY. You may never see handicap people, as their family keeps them indoors for the most art. Maybe they go out at night. No Joke. Look up Serpentza, also look up laowhy86 but catch them riding their cycles around, its funny drive against the traffic ( not them just everybody else)
OMG... People never say "poo" - "ba ba 粑粑" or "piss" - "niao niao 尿尿" in public in China. See how that boy awkwardly smiles there while he's speaking out those two words... If you say in that way, people will laugh their asses off, cuz that's too children language like you are gonna poo directly in your pants... If you really really need to explain and tell apart poo and piss in front a Chinese, you can use "da bian 大便" for poo and "xiao bian 小便" for piss. "Da bian" literally means having something big or taking longer time in the bathroom, and "Xiao bian" means having something small or taking less time in the bathroom.
I was in Beijing a few days ago. I needed to go to the bathroom, I saw a "toilet" sign and went in. What I saw was rather strange. There were urinals against the wall, pretty much standard, but on the other side... there were squatting toilets with no cubicles around them! There was half a dozen Chinese squatting and doing what they have to do just in front of everybody entering that public toilet! That was very much hardcore Maoism for me, ha ha!
Well that is an interesting perspective. For some walking naked is less shameful than pooping in front of others. That is possible. In Japan there are shared 温泉 but it is quite rare nowadays, only in remote places in the mountains.
no cubicles in 2016? in BeiJing? i live in a tier 3 city in china, u never heard the name, all toilet have cubicles here. r u sure u r in BeiJing? or r u in BeJin or something? i doubt u bought the wrong air ticket.
and what if you loose your balance do you just grab the guy next to you domino effect, would be hella bad luck to drop your wallet. XD. I'll take a soup can for 100 rnb, Alex
As a much travelled China visitor I always stay at 3 or 4 star hotel which have a sit down toilets. Most of big shopping store will have a western toilet, or you could try any Turkish, Russian restaurant and they will have a western toilet, we always take our own toilet paper and sanitizer.
You forgot a big one for men. If you drop your pants, be sure to take your wallet and/or smart phone out of your back pockets first! If you don't, you'll be sorry. Actually saw this happen to one poor guy in our tour group. (And yes ... he did.)
it doesnt matter if you miss. everyone else will. you will be lucky if they even make it to the toilet. walk the streets long enough you will find many just shitting and pissing in the street.
I blew out my knee years ago and it just doesn't bend right. But I am trying to work on it (the knee bending) I just always feel I will pee or poop on my clothes :) I have done it a few times (not the pooping on myself but the squatting to poop) :)
Yes in case of diarrhea it will result in a spray. You must adjust your rear to avoid too much splash all over the shafty area in front of the toilet bowl and try to spray it in a focused way right into the hole but again very carefully so you don't spray it out or against the wall on the back. Its really a poop art and takes practise. Just like when men pee they learn to adjust their weiner and direction of the spray but in this case you have to use your bum as the shoot cannon to do the same in a controlled fashion. If you spray all over the place make sure you clean it up by either peeing on the same places or taking a bucket of water and flushing out from the nook and crannies. Pooping in Asia is hard work.
Not really. I am Singaporean and we have squat public toilets but now I live in Australia where it's non existent. I miss those squat toilets (yes). Therefore I was trained since young to use one of those public toilets even though we only had western toilets at home. If you know how to squat properly, your butt will be really at the same level as your feet/ankles and you won't really make any mess even if you have diarrhoea. Squatting is really good for bowel health and faster evacuation. I need to install such a toilet in my house when I get my own house in the future (I'm still living with family).
A couple of questions: 1. What is the disposal system at home? You collect the soiled toilet paper and eventually dispose it in a special container in the street? I mean...going down the escalator of a high rise with a bag of soiled toilet paper? 2. What is the situation if one needs to go to the bathroom while out in the city? I would guess malls have bathrooms? But public toilets clearly mapped in a place like Beijing?
There are some problems with your vocabulary: First: 尿尿 (niao4niao4) and 拉粑粑 (la1ba1ba1) are toddler language. It sounds weird if an adult uses them (esp. 拉粑粑). It's better to use 小便 (xiao3bian4: to pee) and 大便 (da4bian4: to poo). Second: Your Chinese friend says 卫生巾 (wei4sheng1jin1), not 卫生纸. But 卫生巾 is not a tampon, it's a pad. Tampon would be 卫生棉条 (wei4sheng1mian2tiao2) Third: You didn't put the characters and Pinyin for soap, which is 香皂 (xiang1zao4). Hope this helps avoid some misunderstandings.
I understand this is probably unacceptable for most Westerners. Why not just avoid these all together? just go to starbucks, macdonalds, KFC, etc. their washrooms are US standard. And these fast food places are much fancier in China than them in US.
In China the handicapped and old people are tucked away to the basement. They all have extreme scoliosis and those things, that are treated in the West. Oh, in other Asian countries too. They don´t like individualism or humanism.
@@teemum.9023 Scoliosis isn't treatable anywhere, just thought you should know😊 And it's usually hereditary, so it doesn't really have to do with the position you put your body in
That's so easy to use but it's awfull when there is no water . I don't understand people who don't use water in toilet. How do you clean yourself ? :/// just by toilet paper ?:////
I am not worry about the food but the public squatting toilet because I have irritable bowels. In my country, public toilets are everywhere and all for seating and they are clean with water pipes, sanitary wash for you to clean the seats and toilet paper. When I went to Japan, the toilets are very clean but are all squatting but that time I didn't have this irritable bowels problem.
So you have to pull your pants legs up so they don't touch the nasty floor and at the same time use one hand to hold your underwear and the seat of your pant out so you don't shit or pee in them while your squatting over the hole.
I mean Japan and pretty much most of Asia uses these toilets. Most of Africa also uses these toilets. Plus places in Europe like Italy, France, Germany and a lot of eastern Europe also use these toilets.
Where do you write your graffiti? The reminds me. Johnny Carson said he was sitting on a toilet one time and he noticed at the bottom of the door, it said "Beware of limbo dancers".
Egypt is the same way regarding toilet paper. If you want any, or desperately need some because you got sick with the shits, you have to tip them about 1 Egyptian pound for 3 squares ( about 40 cents ) And to make sure you tip for tp, if you are in a restaurant, they will make sure all the napkin dispensers are empty, so you can't grab any of that.
Late reply, but many toilets have been modernised in modern cities in China. Some of the older cities or communities still have old toilets as they suit their residents. Toilet paper is still a problem as people steal them.
My apartment had a western style toilet and I knew where some locations where that had western style toilets. So I'd frequent those if possible. I had a "man bag" that I would put a full toilet paper roll that was sandwiched in half, hand sanitizer, camera, handheld gps (very handy), extra batteries, etc. I think the easiest way of using a squat toilet was just take your pants right off. That's what I did haha.
One thing that always strikes me as 'interesting' about this subject is that many folks seem to label pit style toilets as "Chinese" toilets, Rather surprising as these are almost elaborate alternatives by comparison to the very common 'holes in the ground' so common in central and eastern Europe.. At least the Chinese don't charge you to use the commode as is common in central Europe. Unfortunately what is common to all seems to be the cultural ignore-ance of so many North Americans completely unaware of conditions in the majority of the world outside their borders. Thanks for the video trying to explain a style of commode that once one becomes familiar with it becomes a rather simple and effective commodity.
" Unfortunately what is common to all seems to be the cultural ignore-ance of so many North Americans completely unaware of conditions in the majority of the world outside their borders." How many people in those central and Eastern European countries are aware of the conditions here in Mississippi in the United States? Or are aware of the conditions in Montana, or in Connecticut?
>'holes in the ground' so common in central and eastern Europe lmao nigga not even 40 years ago was this common. Not even. Unless you consider rural outhouses "holes in the ground". But I see a big difference between a private well ventilated outhouse and a literal hole in the ground, most of the time not even with a cubicle. I don't care to explain this further, just found this comparison funny.
Used them in Europe, not too unpleasant if you're prepared, BUT Mark have you seen the older style ones in Holland/Netherlands probably the worst I've ever used and I happened to have bad guts at the time which made it even more pleasant. They're like a normal western style toilet but back to front, just like a bowl and the water hole is at the front so it just sits there until you flush it if you know what I mean!
I don’t know why these toilets give me anxiety. I’m never going to China I’m never going to have to use these toilets! Why am I so stressed about this!
That's not a specific Chinese toilet. It is so much common in Asia. So we have a Asia squat when using toilets. Closestool or toilet seat comes from western countries while squat toilet comes from east Asia. You can't say it bad cause you don't get used to it. Just suggestion no offense.
Lol. I discovered this w/o any prior warning when I went to Jordan. I was lucky that the family that I lived with had both this, and a Western style restroom, but imagine my face when I first saw this. =-D
AZCARDINALS ＦＡＮ Not that I have the means to travel there anyway... but this is why I prefer to watch travelogues instead of visiting some places. All the beauty - none of the issues.
I'm overweight and horribly "stiff" in lack of a better English word:) I virtually can't squat without support, I mean balance vise. At the gym I squat against the wall with a Pilates ball between me and the wall. I think I would have to tie a rope to the door and grab that for support while squatting, hahaha
Video from 9 years ago. It’s outdated and can’t represent most of Chinese toilets anymore now since they have done the “Toilet Revolution” program and are still doing it in other places in the country. Personally hoping for some other “Western” countries to catch up soon too!
I see a couple comments comparing Chinese(tribal) & Japanese(robots) toilets.... Here's a dirty little secret.... Japan (still) has "squat pots" too!! Be ready for'm to sneak up on you!!
Hi, thanks so much for the video, am thinking of going to either Beijing [historical value] or Tokyo [novelty value] in October for 3-4 days, prior to Hong Kong. Could you please confirm if there are some western style toilets in Beijing in at least the main attractions, some shopping centres etc? Thanks a lot
+whutzat The core benefit traveling to China is to see its rich heritages, I think China is the only place to let visitors indulge in the ancient memories of civilizations other than Europe. its like you will still purchase a car for its speed, even if its audio system sucks. If the core benefit of a traveler is toilet, I recommend traveling to his own bathroom : )
+whutzat I lived out in the country for years and oftentimes I took a shit in the woods and just squatted and let it happen, and then I would wipe it and than pull my pants up, done deal. Like seriously? You actually think this is that big of a deal? Just take a shit in your hotel before leaving, or at the fucking malls, foreign stores, restaurants etc
Hello everybody. Maybe you will think that the girls toilet may be different,......nooooo.... it´s the same...... a hole. Also you have to know that always can be worst.... if you are using a public toilet some of them don´t have walls neither doors, only the holes on the floor. But, don´t worry. If you can only use western toilets you can go the malls. They have the western type. That´s why many of my friends would wait and walk a little bit more to get there.
LMHO!!!! And.. tampons are not wei-shen-gin but pads are! lol Tampons are 卫生棉 (wei-sheng-mian) Most women in China don't use tampons, believe it or not, it's true :) Ummm..plus, the prefix of gender is totally unnecessary, as you never ask where is the female restroom or where is the male restroom, you simply use one word which is enough right lol Your videos are so funny, love them!
I guess talking about poop is funny in any culture...that chinese dude was a good sport! oh and by the way, going #2 while squatting is way way healthier for your colon and the way your body is designed to poop! thanks for the videos

Lmao that's me
it doesnt matter if you miss. everyone else will. you will be lucky if they even make it to the toilet. walk the streets long enough you will find many just shitting and pissing in the street.
Poor grandma
Toilets must stink there if you put dirty toilet paper in the bin
I think I'll just hold it throughout my whole trip if i ever go there.
How do people in wheelchairs use toilets in China?
they have normal toilets for handicap people
Great I’m using those lolz
God bless both of you if you now know
Besides all the other reasons not to go to China, this is #1.
Those poop wipes would reek up the entire toilet area! Nasty! lol
I hope whoever empty's the baskets full of shitty paper gets paid well :/

Dont intentionally do it... Many Chinese people squat on the western toliets as well.
its not the fact of having to squat but to do it with everyone being able to see you, how could you even relax enough,
Older folks don't squat easy anymore....There needs to be side rail supports to help lower/raise someone who is not too agile....ya think?

The hotels have sitting toilets! And it smells good so always go to the nearest hotel
Ok but if no toilet paper how do they clean themself
Who would have thought a pandemic would come from a country like this?
I mean Japan and pretty much most of Asia uses these toilets. Most of Africa also uses these toilets. Plus places in Europe like Italy, France, Germany and a lot of eastern Europe also use these toilets.
An error in the captions - sanitary pad is weishengjin instead of weishengzhi, which is toilet paper

how do you keep from soiling your pants presumably you have to pull them down right?

I don't think so, but I will check. it is hard to get the right pinyin/vocab as a lot of this is "slang" we are using.
"Lā bǎba” is the way kids say to their parents. For an adult, people normally say "jiě dàshǒu"

why on earth would you want to use toilet paper when you can use water? you do intend to wash your hands afterwards either way, don't you?
I actually don't care if the pipes get broken or not, in just going to throw it in
Gotta get used to squating lol so btw you don't flush the toilet paper correct?

NaafiFudge yes but bring toilet paper or tissues at all times
Thanks Betty have come back & only managed to endure a squat once thank god!
Wait, is there really no soap in China???
+mrwb87leb We have soap in China.
+mrwb87leb No for public restroom.
+koko sashu there is, but depends on how good the toilet is
+Yisi Liu (Reviews and Gameplays) shanghai will not face with this squad toliet
+koko sashu Whaat! you have access to youtube?
never say never... :) the stories I really should never share...
A second video for crude story time? 😃💩
bears do it in the woods right ;)
Nobody in Southern China will understand what La Ba Ba means...
Exactly… what if I miss and accidentally stick my foot inside
What if I fall back into it lol.
TYPO! (see long comment above) ...would not want to poop inside my pant leg while squatting.
Yet another reason I would never go to China.
+whutzat The core benefit traveling to China is to see its rich heritages,
I think China is the only place to let visitors indulge in the ancient memories of civilizations other than Europe.
its like you will still purchase a car for its speed, even if its audio system sucks.
If the core benefit of a traveler is toilet, I recommend traveling to his own bathroom : )
+whutzat I lived out in the country for years and oftentimes I took a shit in the woods and just squatted and let it happen, and then I would wipe it and than pull my pants up, done deal.
Like seriously? You actually think this is that big of a deal? Just take a shit in your hotel before leaving, or at the fucking malls, foreign stores, restaurants etc
+Vincent Deschenes You're stalking me around RUclips now???
End the obsession, dude.
These squad toliet is also in Thailand mostly Esan or northeast and southern of Thailand
welcome back anytime
Same as in France
+Anneke van Wyk Really???
I'll stick to a bush and leaves.
This Chinese guy's Chinese isn't even standard lol
Do you need to take off your pants first, before you squat? I would, I think I would end up pissing on the back of my pants.
No. Keep them on and shit yourself while squatting.
BUEN VIDEO.
Are all toilets in China like this?
xxXPoisonRosesXxx no, if you are in a hotel it will be a western style toilet
xxXPoisonRosesXxx Not in the Hotel :)
woltersworld thank god
sebdk
you welcome :)
Why would anyone want to go to china
Janella Dyer it was a really cool experience. to be honest
we would never say lababa.... when you need go to toilet..
So if I go to a job interview in China I should not ask them where I can lababa?
Hexa Neuronic only very close friends or children may say lababa, this is informal and kind of kids language.
Headshot U I see. It seems similar to the word 'poop' used by American children.
yeah it's childrens talk
it's exactly lie poo poo or pee pee
Tonal languages confuse me.
exactly :)
Shocking! Put me right off to visit China
Maybe don't visit all of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe too 😊😊😊
lol we use these toilets in arabia but we have western ones too.. supposedly the squat posture is better
Hello everybody. Maybe you will think that the girls toilet may be different,......nooooo.... it´s the same...... a hole. Also you have to know that always can be worst.... if you are using a public toilet some of them don´t have walls neither doors, only the holes on the floor.
But, don´t worry. If you can only use western toilets you can go the malls. They have the western type. That´s why many of my friends would wait and walk a little bit more to get there.
LMHO!!!!
And.. tampons are not wei-shen-gin but pads are! lol Tampons are 卫生棉 (wei-sheng-mian) Most women in China don't use tampons, believe it or not, it's true :)
Ummm..plus, the prefix of gender is totally unnecessary, as you never ask where is the female restroom or where is the male restroom, you simply use one word which is enough right lol
Your videos are so funny, love them!
Jeez that SUCKS!!!
Why does the white guy remind me of Craig from Malcolm in the middle
Probably easier to shit outside.
Interesting...
I guess talking about poop is funny in any culture...that chinese dude was a good sport! oh and by the way, going #2 while squatting is way way healthier for your colon and the way your body is designed to poop! thanks for the videos
What if you have the shits?
