• A question of culture and habits

A practice influenced by the environment and education

Some cultures have different habits when it comes to using the toilet. For example, squat toilets, which are still common in many countries, lead users to adopt different postures.

The influence of modern toilets

With the evolution of sanitary facilities, certain 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.

For some women, this position can promote better body alignment, allowing for more complete bladder evacuation and in particular the risk of urinary tract infections.

• A simple matter of preference

Finally, some people adopt this posture simply by personal choice or habit. After all, the main thing is to feel comfortable!
