Household Mobile Toilet Squat Type

Admin October 11, 2026

Key points about household mobile toilet squat types are as follows:

I. Types and Structural Features Household mobile toilet squat types are characterized by human squatting use and are mainly divided into two types: those without a shield and those with a shield. Structurally, they can be classified into two categories based on the presence or absence of a trap:

  1. Squat toilets with a trap: These form a "water seal" through a horizontally "S"-shaped bend pipe, using the stored water to isolate the backflow of sewer odors. They have good odor-prevention effects but may have slightly slower drainage speeds due to the bend pipe design.
  2. Squat toilets without a trap: These lack a "water seal" structure and have more direct drainage. However, they rely on external odor-prevention measures (such as floor drain sealing or pipe ventilation); otherwise, they are prone to odor backflow issues.

II. Price Differences and Selection The prices of household ceramic squat toilets are significantly influenced by the manufacturer, style, and functions:

  • Basic models: For example, the ceramic squat toilet with a water tank from Chaozhou Yuancheng Sanitary Ware is priced at approximately 69.35 yuan, suitable for users with limited budgets or low functional requirements.
  • High-end models: The high-flat and trap-free ceramic squat toilet from Taihe Sanitary Ware in Nanhai District, Foshan City, costs up to 142.5 yuan. It usually excels in material, craftsmanship, or design (such as a smooth and easy-to-clean surface and a sturdy structure). Selection advice: Consider the usage scenario (such as long-term household use or temporary transition) and budget comprehensively. Prioritize products with a trap design to enhance odor-prevention performance.

III. Squat Toilet Modification Plans If you need to convert a squat toilet into a sit toilet for the convenience of the elderly, pregnant women, etc., common plans are as follows:

  1. Toilet stool: A U-shaped stool with a notch is directly placed on the squat toilet. It is low-cost (usually a few dozen yuan) and requires no construction. However, it has no flushing function, a fixed sitting height, and is prone to dirt accumulation with long-term use. The odor-prevention effect depends on the trap status of the original squat toilet. It is suitable for temporary transitions or rental housing scenarios.
  2. Foldable toilet chair: Its structure is closer to that of a chair, equipped with a backrest or complete seat support. It is more comfortable than a toilet stool, and some models can be folded for easy storage. However, it still relies on the flushing system of the original squat toilet.
  3. Replacement with a sit toilet: Completely remove the squat toilet and install a sit toilet. This requires repaving pipes and a waterproof layer, with high construction costs (approximately several thousand yuan). However, it offers the best user experience and is suitable for long-term household use.

IV. Usage Precautions

  1. Regularly clean the surface and trap of the squat toilet to avoid dirt accumulation affecting drainage and odor-prevention effects.
  2. If using a toilet stool or toilet chair, ensure that it matches the size of the squat toilet to avoid sliding or tipping risks.
  3. Before modification, evaluate the bathroom space and pipe layout to ensure that the new equipment is installed in compliance with regulations and does not affect the drainage system.
