Flushing toilets are common in many parts of the world, and are commonly connected to a septic tank or sewage system. Prior to the introduction of modern flush toilets, most human waste disposal took place in outhouses, or the wild. Ancient civilizations used toilets attached to flowing water systems. Although the modern flush toilet system was designed mostly by john Harington, they were not used widespread until late in the nineteenth century. thomas crapper was one of the early toilet makers in England, he also helped design modern day toilets.

china, Japan, and Hong kong: May sometimes have separate areas for #'s 1 and 2. Most have non slip foot pads and are a ditch in the floor, but some are high tech and are more like an American toilet. French toilets: french toilets have many different styles, some are like an American toilet, only rectangular. Others are vents in the floor that take in moisture, or exactly like an American toilet.
