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:
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Regularly clean the surface and trap of the squat toilet to avoid dirt accumulation affecting drainage and odor-prevention effects.
- If using a toilet stool or toilet chair, ensure that it matches the size of the squat toilet to avoid sliding or tipping risks.
- 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.
