Take care not to drop small items into the toilet, such as sanitary towels, cotton wool balls or buds, and hygiene products. Keeping your toilet lid shut is a handy way to avoid some items falling in by accident. Also, only use as much toilet paper as is necessary, as large amounts can be difficult to dissolve and then build-up with waste. Tilley, E.; Ulrich, L.; Lüthi, C.; Reymond, Ph.; Zurbrügg, C. (2014).

In pre-modern Denmark, people generally defecated on farmland or other places where the human waste could be collected as fertilizer. [56] The Old Norse language had several terms for referring to outhouses, including garðhús (yard house), náð-/náða-hús (house of rest), and annat hús (the other house). In general, toilets were functionally non-existent in rural Denmark until the 18th century. [56]

Roman latrines, like the ones pictured here, are commonly thought to have been used in the sitting position. The Roman toilets were probably elevated to raise them above open sewers which were periodically "flushed" with flowing water, rather than elevated for sitting. Romans and Greeks also used chamber pots, which they brought to meals and drinking sessions. [51] Johan J. Mattelaer said, " Plinius has described how there were large receptacles in the streets of cities such as Rome and Pompeii into which chamber pots of urine were emptied. The urine was then collected by fullers." ( Fulling was a vital step in textile manufacture.)

Although a precursor to the flush toilet system which is widely used nowadays was designed in 1596 by John Harington, [ citation needed] such systems did not come into widespread use until the late nineteenth century. [ citation needed] With the onset of the industrial revolution and related advances in technology, the flush toilet began to emerge into its modern form. A crucial advance in plumbing, was the S-trap, invented by the Scottish mechanic Alexander Cummings in 1775, and still in use today. This device uses the standing water to seal the outlet of the bowl, preventing the escape of foul air from the sewer. It was only in the mid-19th century, with growing levels of urbanisation and industrial prosperity, that the flush toilet became a widely used and marketed invention. This period coincided with the dramatic growth in the sewage system, especially in London, which made the flush toilet particularly attractive for health and sanitation reasons. [58]Shaw, R. (2014).
