    That’s known as a Dutch toilet. It’s designed to allow you to inspect your movements for health concerns more easily than the standard toilet.

    If you’re concerned with leaving evidence, just toss a couple pieces of tp on top of the water before you go so it’ll slide down easily when you flush.

      For kindergarten it is used often in Belgium. Teachers can controle who did buisness. If a lot off worms are on there you see it and parents are informed. Some places not only parents of the one xith the worms but the entite klass by the usual ‘they are seen’ letter. Plx take care off your child.

      Btw No bowing down needed or sniffing. Good lord who would do that…

      I would have loved to have one of these a few years ago. I have a wilderness cottage and on the lake we’re on, it was affected by a family of beavers who cause beaver fever, Giardiasis. It’s a small lake so it was a problem and I got infected with it. Nothing serious or long lasting but when I went to the doctor, he asked for a series of stool samples to confirm diagnosis.

      The dutch toilet would have been great for that. Instead I had to perform acrobatics and weird positions and use plastic wrap and cardboard and paper to try to make a clean collection … and there were a few accidents along the way.
