are those squat style? how do you keep your pants clean?
I literally have no idea. There are never hooks to hang up your pants, either. I've really checked. I truly cannot figure out how to use them.
You have to be bendy, or use the handicapped stall, I'd probably have to at this point, yeah, bad joints. I've never experienced one myself, but wouldn't you're pants hide the things from view and be out of the way?
There are never stalls when you find these. They are normally in the middle of a giant room, nothing to grab onto anywhere.
Well, that doesn't make sense then.

Looks like this is the SFW how-to.

Looks reasonable until they show this...

Um, that's not at all what squatting on one of those is like. Not only do normal adults not bend like that, but his center of gravity is WAY behind his feet. This only works if his ass cheeks are resting on the foot rests!

This picture clearly shows him throwing bucket water directly onto his pants.

Even that article mentions the need to hang up your pants across the room!
-
This one leads off with "find a place for your pants" as well. But there being no clean place to put pants is a pretty standard problem.
-
not only are they delusional that there is a place to put your pants, they expect you to be BAREFOOT in these nasty places?
-
yeah - I'm totally lost. it's almost like they are there for show.
-
All of these sites seem to have access to luxury squat toilets that are nothing like what I've found even around Milan.

Except they tend to be in places where that doesn't make sense. Like a train station.

There is no kidding with squat shitters.

Been there, did not do that, in Japan.
Held it until I found a modern shitter.

That's what I've done.

to put a bit of context, what @scottalanmiller found here, in Italy we call it "turca", litterally "turkish" (toilet).
This was (is?) the default in Turkey. In 38 years in Italy I've met them less then 10 times. never in a house, mostly in the 80s in public places close to highways.
main rational for them: you have not to touch anything to pee or poo just hang on your feet. anyway never pooed in... don't know how to manage it!
other rational: you just need to throw acid or similar on the floor to clean. nothing else.
don't know how turkish people manage it with childern. Also don't know what GPS navigator @scottalanmiller uses to hit them all!
definitively a strange kind of toilet.
