Alright, you got me with the poop shelf. As an American, I've watched way too many of these and never been put into a coma. This one nearly did the trick.
It has its real use though! If you’re sick or something’s wrong going on with your body - you’ll be able to see it. It’s especially good to have for older people.
It is different, but as someone who has stuck my face far too close to my toilet bc I was having serious internal issues, the shelf would've been nice😂
As a scottish person who calls the whole room a ‘toilet’ this really confused me for a good 20 secs on why you would have a shelf in the toilet/bathroom for inspecting it- like why would you take it out of the actual toilet in the first place
I'm American and we usually use "toilet" for the actual stool and "bathroom/restroom" for the room as a whole, but I'm so used to European videos I also thought he meant the room not the stool. I was so confused why he thought it was weird for there to be a shelf in the toilet. Lots of toilets have shelving and decor, after all. Then the rest made me very concerned about the Dutch for a moment. 😂
Are you using the toilet correctly to take a sir harington, though? Facing the tank so you can sit your chocolate milk and books on to read and don’t have to see your poop
@@v1Broadcasternot if you're an American it's not😅 at least not if you make less than $100,000 a year😂 you can't even walk past the Walmart without ending up with something genetically modified in your blood
it's true, although now they are just a normal toilet to us and we don't really think about. The original idea was indeed so you could look at your poop to see if you had diseases that showed in your poop.
Also you should get like a "dry" sample of your poo for Tests if you do a health check that requires it, it shouldn't Touch the toilet water or it could mess with the results
@@yukiyuukichan5771 it sits on the plateau/platform/shelf with mjnim water in it. Stool samples are usually just a little scoop, a normal turd would have enough to not come it in contact with the toilet water so it's definitely a dry sample 😂
Wait don't we get a picture of the poop shelf (preferably without poop)? I can't picture it in my head how that would work. Do you have to somehow pick up the poop and put it on the shelf to inspect it? Or does it automatically catch it, and then you have to roll it off into the water? I need answers!
It’s less of a “shelf” and more that the actual bowl of the toilet is flatter, with the hole towards the front. So when you poop it lands on the back flat part and then when you flush it all goes down the hole towards the front.
If you google “dutch toilet” it comes up in a picture and then it works the way the other person said. I’d say our toilets are better than “straight to the water” toilets to keep track of your gut health to be honest.
As an American honestly this is shocking but SO useful, your poop can say a lot about your health and for some they have to check regularly because of medical conditions this is so smart
I'm almost on the point where I want to start a campaign that everyone get these. It seems like half of my (Dutch) patients don't have this shelf and they suddenly don't know what their poo looks like and your be surprised how often I ask that and it is important information for me as a doctor in emergency medicine and internal medicine. Please let us doctors be able to help you well and do look around every once in a while 🙏😅
My Aunt (who is Dutch) explained to me that you have to put a piece of toilet paper on the "shelf", so the poo does not stick to the ceramic and just slides right off when you flush. She also told me the shelf is there so you don't splash your a** when dropping a number two.
Yeah and I think they really should tell newbies that before they have to use the toilet. The toiletbrush is for cleaning not for hurrying to poo along, haha
@@-Annn- Haha, it's a flat plateau, so it's gravity. maybe if you always had a deep flusher you have no idea that poop comes in all kinds of ways. Healthy or unhealthy. Even just from hormone changes.
It's more like a plateau in the middle of your "normal" toilet bowl. It lands on there and when you go to flush it just slides down into the hole you're used too. We don't take it out, come on man 😂 Why its still useful: - If you have a resorption problem, your stool will stick to the bowl. So skid marks are helpful information: it tells you about potential vitamin deficiencies - possibility of ulcers/cancer (blood in stool) - color matters - parasites like worms - consistency: too much fat or proteine intake etc. People with gut issues can tell a lot by looking at it. It's especially helpful for people who care for the elderly, small children, disabled people, people with low IQ and such. Those people can have problems with letting you know what's going on with their bodies :) I actually dislike toilets without them because the splashback and not being able to see what's going on since its under the water 😅
Thank you for explaining. As an American, I was confused like most. But this actually makes sense and isn’t anymore “gross” than standard American toilets. It’s just smarter and more functional.
Not all Dutch toilets are like this, though. Most public and office bathrooms are without shelfs. You lock in the smell better when it's straight to water, but you also get a splash sometimes.
I have one and the real plus side is I don't get violated by poseidon's kiss every time I do a number two. Edit: Thanks for all the likes! I hope you think of me next time it happens. 😂😘
@@gamingbypix Great questions! If you sit normally it's gonna gently land on the shelf. It will stay on the shelf until you flush. The water is what pushes it off the shelf into the drain. The drain part has sitting water and is more to the front of the bowl, so you would have to do some weird balancing act on the tip of the seat if you wanted it to land there. I hope that explained it? 😂
@@katrichards3890 why you even holding in turds long enough or being sick often enough for this to even be a problem? 😂 You people need some probiotics and a schedule to shit. I've always wondered how someone sh**s their pants before incontinence ever sets in....

I like my “shelved” toilet far better than the straight to the water toilets. You can actually inspect your poop, if you need a bit of it to send to the doctors you also don’t need to fish around in there, you can track your bowel movements properly (see color, texture etc.) so you can better invest in gut health and there’s no nasty water splashing up your ass. Can you tell I’m someone with stomach problems? 😂
If you’re ever in the US, just ask the pharmacist at the regular drugstore or grocery store for a couple toilet “hats” (just their shape) that you insert between the lid and the toilet. You use these if you need to get a sample or take a closer look. If you do have stomach issues, I can see the benefit of the shelf for sure, but after caring for my elderly parents, I know have all kinds of gadgets that help with health.

Honestly, I wouldn't be mad. Inspecting your poo is very important to gut health, and I hate it when I'm trying a new diet or feeling unwell and I'm unable to see it to help identify the issues/when they've resolved.
I'm ngl, I moved into the netherlands on February and the first visit to the throne was a jumpscare. I hadn't noticed that it was different until I stood up and I guess I wasn't expecting the vision 😂 you get used to it and I guess the reasoning makes sense. Poop can be an indicator of many health issues.
As an American.. I am shocked. Not because it's bad or doesn't make sense.. but shocked that it's not more common. Like.. we frequently use our pet's poop's appearance to judge if they need a vet visit.. so logically why wouldn't we have a way to make sure OUR poop is okay? 🤷🏻♀️
It also saves your phone from drowning. Except when it falls into the tiny water hole, then have fun trying to get it out again. I'm speaking from experience.
Yes! I hate when I have a ghost poop and don't get to see it cuz it sunk too quickly. Gotta make sure I'm consistent. Specially if I'm trying new probiotics
It would make getting a smear for that test for blood in your feces easier. Also, I need to know if there is mucus on the poo. It's the 1st sign that a problem is developing. (I'm 67)
It's hygienic to wash afterwards rather than wipe a piece of paper a few times and put your underwear back on. Less yeast infections too. Try baby wipes to start and you could always get an attachment water gun
@@zee4188 I’ll keep choosing how I want to run my own household, feel free to do it your way at your house & shove your condescending attitude somewhere else
Baby wipes for after pooping is definitely a need! No poop residue in your parts or pants. Sniff the cushion of the chair you sit on regularly, you might change your mind about using wipes.
@@brentgroen3204je hebt wc's waar je kak direct in het water valt (plons wc) en wc's waar ze dat niet doen (plank wc) maar er zit niet letterlijk een plank in de wc. Google anders "dutch toilet" dan vind je het wel
Our toilets are just a bowl with a drain, he's saying in NL they have something in the toilet the poop falls on instead of going straight into the water.

Checking your poo can give you a good indication of how your health is going. You absolutely should look at it & noticeably any anomalies. They can be the first sign of health issues.
I think the poop inspection is more of a bonus to the Dutch design. The design is more for water preservation as it needs less water to flush. And no splash. 😊
Some Dutch toilets have a shelf in the back of the bowl, also known as an inspection shelf or poop shelf, that allows people to examine their stool before flushing. This design can be practical because stool samples can help detect health issues and diseases. The shelf may also have other purposes, such as: Vermicide inspection In the late 1800s and early 1900s, when intestinal worms were common, people could use the shelf to inspect their feces for worms Reducing splashing The shelf can hold excrement out of the water until the flush, which can reduce the risk of splashing
Funniest part I think most people don't know is we all at this point call it a Dutch toilet but actually an Englishman developed it! It didn't take off in the UK, apparently we prefer the splash on our tooshies but they became popular in the Netherlands ages ago. Some people say they're only common in old buildings but I live in a new build here and I have the toilet shelf. Takes a little getting used to, anybody squeamish would hate it, but it is nice for my toosh to stay dry!
I was so confused because I thought that there was just a shelf in the room and was genuinely thinking why on earth is that weird until I realised you weren't on about the whole room💀

I think the poop inspection is more of a bonus to the Dutch design. The design is more for water preservation as it needs less water to flush. And no splash. 😊
When his jaw dropped 🤣🤣🤣
As someone who has to for chronic health conditions, a shelf is a MUST for me! How do I get one in the USA?
I’ve been to the Netherlands twice & never encountered the poop shelf thank God 😂
My dutch gramps will die on the hill for his, he always safe it was super helpful when he lived there!! Swore by it religiously.
Me with a digestive chronic illness: useful.
….thats actually really good if you know what to look for. It’s as practical as checking your body for weird lumps (cause cancer)
WHAT???!!!! I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING ON HERE
I did a 6 week blood and colon cleanse once and a poop shelf would've came in handy. The things that came out of my body needed inspection!
Some Dutch toilets have a shelf in the back of the bowl, also known as an inspection shelf or poop shelf, that allows people to examine their stool before flushing. This design can be practical because stool samples can help detect health issues and diseases. The shelf may also have other purposes, such as:
Vermicide inspection
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, when intestinal worms were common, people could use the shelf to inspect their feces for worms
Reducing splashing
The shelf can hold excrement out of the water until the flush, which can reduce the risk of splashing
Funniest part I think most people don't know is we all at this point call it a Dutch toilet but actually an Englishman developed it! It didn't take off in the UK, apparently we prefer the splash on our tooshies but they became popular in the Netherlands ages ago. Some people say they're only common in old buildings but I live in a new build here and I have the toilet shelf. Takes a little getting used to, anybody squeamish would hate it, but it is nice for my toosh to stay dry!
I get the idea. I have seen and used some of these while travelling but for me it’s too close. And it’s harder to clean.
I was so confused because I thought that there was just a shelf in the room and was genuinely thinking why on earth is that weird until I realised you weren't on about the whole room💀
God, “it’s” over there too😳?? We have NO WHERE to escape the insanity😳😳
As a nurse, I can say that this is actually a great idea!! Love it
