I still like your series of bathroom design, and I think everyone who designs a house should read it and at least think about it.

I do take offense to the squatting comment i.e. the lower the better the pooping experience, with my back, I find pain in even the high toilet seats. Truth to be known, my back would be happier with higher seats. Guess I have to be happy with a soiled bum until I can get a toilet bidet.

That being said, I searched Amazon for the toilet roll fetching robot and was sad when I discovered none listed...

Great article.

This was a great read! History, culture, and poop- what a combination!

Okay but what about where does all this affluent end up? The oceans deserve to be spared our conveniences too.

The same place toilet paper ends up -- the sewage system, which handles dirty water far better than it does dirty paper.

Yes I agree that conventional sanitary systems are one approach that leaves something to be desired.

Take a look at the wastewater gardener.
