Western-style toilets, also known as flush toilets, are common in many countries, particularly in North America and Europe. They typically consist of a bowl, a seat, and a tank that holds water. When the user flushes the toilet, water from the tank rushes into the bowl, carrying waste away through a plumbing system. These toilets are designed for sitting, making them different from other styles, such as squat toilets. They often include features like a lid, a comfortable seat, and sometimes a bidet attachment for personal hygiene. Western-style toilets are generally considered more hygienic and convenient for many users.
