In the early 19th century, public officials and public hygiene experts studied and debated sanitation for several decades. The construction of an underground network of pipes to carry away solid and liquid waste was only begun in the mid 19th-century, gradually replacing the cesspool system, although cesspools were still in use in some parts of Paris into the 20th century. [57] Even London, at that time the world's largest city, did not require indoor toilets in its building codes until after the First World War.

The use of water in many Christian countries is due in part to the biblical toilet etiquette which encourages washing after all instances of defecation. [33] The bidet is common in predominantly Catholic countries where water is considered essential for anal cleansing, [34] [35] and in some traditionally Orthodox and Lutheran countries such as Greece and Finland respectively, where bidet showers are common.

Toilets can be designed to be used either in a sitting or in a squatting posture. Each type has its benefits. The " sitting toilet", however, is essential for those who are movement impaired. Sitting toilets are often referred to as "western-style toilets". [5] Sitting toilets are more convenient than squat toilets for people with disabilities and the elderly. Although a precursor to the flush toilet system which is widely used nowadays was designed in 1596 by John Harington, [ citation needed] such systems did not come into widespread use until the late nineteenth century. [ citation needed] With the onset of the industrial revolution and related advances in technology, the flush toilet began to emerge into its modern form. A crucial advance in plumbing, was the S-trap, invented by the Scottish mechanic Alexander Cummings in 1775, and still in use today. This device uses the standing water to seal the outlet of the bowl, preventing the escape of foul air from the sewer. It was only in the mid-19th century, with growing levels of urbanisation and industrial prosperity, that the flush toilet became a widely used and marketed invention. This period coincided with the dramatic growth in the sewage system, especially in London, which made the flush toilet particularly attractive for health and sanitation reasons. [58] The word "toilet" was by etymology a euphemism, but is no longer understood as such. As old euphemisms have become the standard term, they have been progressively replaced by newer ones, an example of the euphemism treadmill at work. [73] The choice of word relies not only on regional variation, but also on social situation and level of formality ( register) or social class. American manufacturers show an uneasiness with the word and its class attributes: American Standard, the largest firm, sells them as "toilets", yet the higher priced products of the Kohler Company, often installed in more expensive housing, are sold as commodes or closets, words which also carry other meanings. Confusingly, products imported from Japan such as TOTO are referred to as "toilets", even though they carry the cachet of higher cost and quality. Toto (an abbreviation of Tōyō Tōki, 東洋陶器, Oriental Ceramics) is used in Japanese comics to visually indicate toilets or other things that look like toilets (see Toilets in Japan).

Before buying a toilet, make a scale drawing of the bathroom so you can see where it will fit and how much floor space there will be once all the other items are drawn. Don’t forget to consider how far the toilet will project into the room, taking into account the depth of the cistern if you’re fitting a close coupled toilet. And ensure there’s enough space in front and to the sides of the toilet to allow someone to sit on it comfortably.Players who wish to relieve themselves will stand in front of the Toylet and urinate into the basin, aiming for the target. This acts as a calibration point for the sensor on top of the basin which will then measure the strength of a player's 'stream' as well as their position and general movement. A vault toilet is a non-flush toilet with a sealed container (or vault) buried in the ground to receive the excreta, all of which is contained underground until it is removed by pumping. A vault toilet is distinguished from a pit latrine because the waste accumulates in the vault instead of seeping into the underlying soil. Bukkake Battle!

In Roman civilization, latrines using flowing water were sometimes part of public bath houses. Roman latrines, like the ones pictured here, are commonly thought to have been used in the sitting position. The Roman toilets were probably elevated to raise them above open sewers which were periodically "flushed" with flowing water, rather than elevated for sitting. Romans and Greeks also used chamber pots, which they brought to meals and drinking sessions. [51] Johan J. Mattelaer said, " Plinius has described how there were large receptacles in the streets of cities such as Rome and Pompeii into which chamber pots of urine were emptied. The urine was then collected by fullers." ( Fulling was a vital step in textile manufacture.) Burnett, John (1986). A Social History of Housing, 1815–1985.

WCs first appeared in Britain in the 1880s, and soon spread to Continental Europe. In America, the chain-pull indoor toilet was introduced in the homes of the wealthy and in hotels in the 1890s. William Elvis Sloan invented the Flushometer in 1906, which used pressurized water directly from the supply line for faster recycle time between flushes.E. Clark, Mary (2006).

The bidet ... is still commonly found in France and other Catholic countries. A typical flush toilet is a ceramic bowl (pan) connected on the "up" side to a cistern (tank) that enables rapid filling with water, and on the "down" side to a drain pipe that removes the effluent. When a toilet is flushed, the sewage should flow into a septic tank or into a system connected to a sewage treatment plant. However, in many developing countries, this treatment step does not take place.
