How to Master Squat Toilets in China Without Awkward Moments

In China, more and more places now have both squat toilets and Western-style toilets. But don’t be surprised—you’ll still run into the “little ones,” especially in rural areas.

Want to avoid that awkward half-squat shuffle? Here’s a quick tip to get you ready:

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Slowly squat down, keeping your balance steady.
  3. Relax and take deep breaths.

With a bit of practice, you’ll soon become a squat toilet pro.

Pro tip: Always carry some toilet paper with you—most public restrooms in China don’t provide it.
