A toilet is a plumbing fixture used for the disposal of human waste. It typically consists of a bowl that holds water and a seat for comfort. When someone uses the toilet, waste is flushed away using water, which helps keep the bathroom clean and hygienic. Toilets are found in homes, public restrooms, and many other places, making them essential for sanitation. Modern toilets come in various designs and styles, including toilet seats that can be heated or have bidet functions for added comfort. They are usually connected to a sewer system or a septic tank to manage waste effectively.
