Some cultures have different habits when it comes to using the toilet. For example, Turkish toilets, which are still widespread in many countries, lead users to adopt other postures.
The influence of modern toilets
With the evolution of sanitary facilities, some designs allow for more ergonomic use by being assisted in front of the tank, in particular with toilets equipped with a shelf or a support to place a book or a telephone.
Hygiene and infection prevention
Less contact with the bowl
In public toilets, avoiding contact with the seat is a priority for many. By sitting facing the tank, it is sometimes easier to avoid potentially contaminated surfaces.
Reduction of urinary tract infections
For some women, this position can promote better body alignment, allowing for more complete evacuation of the bladder and in particular the risk of urinary tract infections.
A simple question of preference
Finally, some people adopt this posture by simple personal choice or habit. After all, the main thing is to feel comfortable!
