Indian vs Western TOILET

519°

Majority of people are opting western toilets in their homes, offices, institutions etc and it's quite an awkward switch for me in my new property which came with western toilet installed. I am a desi guy. I was looking to install Indian toilet but was confused about whether it would be right to do so. Want to try out until I make up my mind.

Well, how smooth the transition was for you to go from Indian to western toilet? Is it easy to go back after getting used to western?

What's better?

Commodes are recommended for old-age people. It is helpful for people with bad knees. 

Indian squat toilet allows you to defecate in your natural position. It's good for healthy people.

You can use a foot stool with your commode to simulate the effect of Indian toilet. 

Indian toilets leak. Your walls ll be mold infested n permanently damp. To avoid it, use proper leak proof material. Use latex based polymer to waterproof the floor and walls around before laying the tiles. Silkalatex SBR is a good alternative to Dr Fixit. 

Or use a stool along with a commode to alleviate leakage n water seepage issue. As suggested by @neel648 bhai.

Think like this and make a switch: If parle stopped selling biscuits tomorrow and I liked to eat them, shouldn't I start trying alternatives or stop eating biscuits (and hence the need for shitting) altogether?

Personally had switched in childhood, still equally feel comfortable using either of those...

My 3 story building had all indian toilet but in couple of years all stared leaking so I replaced all with western and anglo indian. Since the pipes are visible and not under tiles if leaks we can detect and repair . I wont suggest anyone to install indian toilet for the sake of building health . and for old people commode is best. So basically anglo indian is best u can use squating and sitting both

Both are fine with me now, got both at home a decade ago and use as per mood. Still prefer Indian while accessing public toilets.

I won't say transition would be that smooth. Initially, while using WC, I had this feeling that I'm unable to empty fully.

Since the last 5 years, it's not easy to find Indian toilet at newly constructed property (hospital/mall/apartment/public places) So make yourself adapt to both. I am comfortable in using any of these.

Nice topic for a Sunday Morning. haha! I'm fine with both. Elders prefer Western due to knee-related issues, so you can decide accordingly. Better to have both, imo.

Both are fine ..my previous home used to have Indian toilet but where I currently live is installed with western toilets and western toilet is kind of better imo .Initially, I was a little uncomfortable using western one but I became habitual in few weeks. So, don't worry you will adjust with time. Also, transiting from western to indian will be hard for me now.

To be frank Indian toilet is best for healthy people and western is for unhealthy

In villages everyone use Indian toilet only 

All these knee problems are in mostly cities those who live natural lifestyle in villages are less affected

Use the combination toilet. Indian toilet makes your legs powerful and hurt less with age. Western toilets make even 20 yr old guys legs weak. We use western toilet everywhere nowadays. Advantage of wc is that you can browse sites like dd without tension and old people with knee problems will like it.

Western toilets  are for old  age and  medical  need people .  But now it's  been  dumped in everywhere just to show classs and status .

Indian  style has lots of health benfits  besides easy cleaning .

In cities flats  now new construction  give both as there are 2 toilets.

Leakage problem  in Indian  toilet can be because of poor and improper  plumbing .

Can say that in Western toilet, your @$$ touches the ring if you have to poop which is kind of gross if you are the only person into hygiene and others aren't even in a family home.

Whereas in Indian, no touching, it's in the "air" plus there's a more complete feeling of bowel evacuation when pooping smile

Even when peeing, some guys are not into maintaining super hygiene of the toilet and splash it all around unless they are peeing like a girl which is a matter of ego for them smile

East or West Indian is the Best 😂

I don't know why this much craze of the Western Toilets 😬

Go with Anglo / Pure Indian as per your choice!

Out of topic, but.. Its not exactly Indian toilet because it's the common toilet throughout non western countries and maybe even western/EU ppl also squatted to 💩 before comode was designed to prevent moulda and easy repair for leaks.
