18 How to Use Squat Toilets Roll up pant legs to avoid splatter. It’s a much shallower bowl than a Western toilet. Or take your pants off completely and hang them over the door. Don't lose your wallet and change in your back pocket while in squatting position... it won't be fun trying to retrieve it. Take everything out of your back pockets. Position feet shoulder width apart around the hole. They are typically extended portions of the porcelain for your feet that are ribbed so you don’t slip.

19 How to Use Squat Toilets cont. Squat down with FLAT feet till your thighs almost touch calves. Don’t attempt a high seated squat or your legs will be on fire half way through. It’s surprisingly comfortable once you get used to it. Stay on FLAT feet - don’t attempt to balance on your toes or you may tip forward or backwards. Spread your feet wider if you find yourself toppling. Relieve yourself (not sure if I needed to include this step!) Clean up with provided water or bring your own TP. Some places will have a hose or a bucket of water. I prefer to bring my own TP. Toss a cup of water into the hole to flush.

20 TIPS More developed areas have Western toilets, but be prepared for squat toilets just in case. Never throw TP in a squat toilet. Use the trash. Always carry TP if you don’t want to use water. Never head into a WC without Kleenex or wet wipes. You'll rarely find toilet paper. Bring hand sanitizer; soap is sometimes non- existent. There's often a single cloth towel that who knows how many people have already used. Don’t touch it!

21 Note: Moroccans eat with their right hands The left hand is used for -- ahem -- other things. How to use a squat toilet: http://goafrica.about.com/od/healthandsafety/ ht/squattoilet.htm

22 Etiquette It’s gross… we know…. But we have to respect the way they live. Leave a big tip if there is a toilet attendant, it's a crappy job. Please don’t make terrible faces when you walk out of the loo (bathroom). Save it for when we are not being watched by the people who live that way.
