roman public toilets: these toilets used in ancient rome are completely different from the toilets that are used today. they are very open, very visible, and have no sense of privacy. instead of using toilet paper, there is a communal sponge that is rinsed out very well between uses. fear of diseases were not as prominent then as they are now.
squat toilet: these toilets are still being used in asia. the users in asia believe that these are a lot better with hygiene that the "western culture's" sitting down toilets. the main point of these kind of toilets is to squat so that your skin doesn't come in contact with any germs.
portapotties: these toilets are mainly designed for construction sites but are also used that events. they are easily made, and gender neutral. they are chemical toilets so that they don't have to flush. also otherwise known as "portable sanitation units".
