Hi Zoe,

Thanks for your response and the links.

I've been posting around the net and the squatting toilets are hard to find. There are also some concerns with code restrictions, installation, and what to do when selling a house. Based on all these things a proper squatting toilet appears an ordeal to obtain in the republic of the U.S.

In lieu of this, I've found a $1 deep plastic pan lined with TP in the right spot works quite well, and then emptied in the regular toilet. This is a little trouble but not much, and certainly much easier than trying to jump through all of the regulatory hoops and restrictions.

Another alternative is building up cinder blocks or a wood frame around the regular toilet. This way people can use a toilet any way that they wish, and there is no change required when selling a house. I'll be trying the cinder blocks in the next couple of days.
