Using a traditional Japanese toilet (squat toilet) involves a different technique than using a Western-style toilet. Here's how:
-
Face the front of the toilet. According to the reference, the first step is to position yourself correctly.
-
Prepare yourself. Pull down your pants and underpants, or lift up your skirt, similar to preparing for any other toilet.
-
Squat down.
- Get close to the front of the toilet.
- If you're using an elevated squat toilet, stand on the raised platform while squatting to maintain balance and proper positioning.
