Damavand

Most backward

by Damavand on

There is no worst place than pubic or restaurant toilets in Iran where they are almost always dirty with wet floors (genius of using white floor tiles that get muddied with the first use), most stink so bad you have to rush out for air. Walls and faucets are ususally covered with grimy crud. There is never paper to dry your hands with. 8 out of 10 are in poor repair with no maintenance.

More on topic, those feces that get stuck under fingernails or skin are not all washed off by washing hands. As a result, lots of surfaces of a Muslim home get a continuous stream of minute feces on them. Some naturally gets back in the body of feces-washing-by-hand "faithfools"!

Iranian toilet?

by fussygorilla on

Not so. Originally, this type of toilet was invented in France and it is still used there. I suppose those Iranians who visited France in the 19th century brought it back as souvenir.  In Turkey also all houses do have this type of French toilets sometime in addition to the commode type.  This may be o.k. for the young but when one gets older (or fat) with creaking joints and knees, it is absolutely impossible to sit as needed and a disaster to try to get up!  In addition, someone should ask this young man , after washing his butt with the hose, how does he manage to dry it before pulling up his pants?  If you go to Iran, do what we always do; buy a portable, foldable toilet seat (very light and cheap too) that sits right on top of the floor model and carry it to those places where no "foreign" toilets are available.           I cannot believe myself even responding to this foolish and disgusting video but heck, it is Monday!

So...what is important to discuss?

by comments on

When my dad was dying and deteriorating fast from cancer I had to insert a suppository to him when the nurse was late.  I was not a medical professional and I had no idea what it was and not used it myself before.  Unfortunately, it’s not the matter of age.  Some people never grow up.  They say what they are told or what “everybody says so”.  If you cannot discuss these subjects on the internet where/when do you want to discuss? Ever?

p.s. suppository is a small plug of medication designed for insertion into the rectum or vagina where it melts.

Traditions through Time!

by Shokaran on

For those people who defend traditional customs and life styles specially Islamic ones I just have one comment "Look at people's health and average living age and compare them and then choose the best way of living!"

If people in Iran, Sri Lanka,India,Arabic countries and the rest of third world countries look better and healthier than people from Norway, Sweden, Canada, and the rest of western world follow those Islamic and traditional ways of living,

Otherwise WAKE UP and live like a modern human!!

It's shame for being unwilling to learn.

by comments on

One possibly should ask why he/she does not feel comfortable to discuss such a common matter?  A lot of thoughts and inventions came from thinking in restrooms and showers.  Why don't you ashame of yourself when you give urine and faeces (or sperms:)) for medical tests?  Haven't you had a chance to toilet train your kids yet? Do you know how many people are still idiots in this matter and spread germs all around and make you and me get infected?

How do you dry yourself after you wash?

Please be more specific Solitude

by divaneh on

I agree with you that this video is trash but it has resulted in some interesting exchanges. When you say "some throw their poisonous anti-religion insults" what are you exactly defending? Thanking god for having given us holes, or entering the toilet with the left foot? Please be more specific.


Solitude

Such a Shame...

by Solitude on

To see this site is becoming more and more "Trashier" day by day!! What kind of posting is this? Seriously.. With all that is out there to see and learn from or even be entertained by, is this something that we have resorted to??
Even more astonishing are the back and forth’s between the members about this demeaning subject matter, including and of course not limited to those who take advantage of every occasion to throw their poisonous Anti-religion insults around without a hint of truth in it, just because …. Come on people, isn’t enough?? Show some maturity or perhaps some respect, if not for anyone else’s beliefs, for the sake of your own intelligence!

Thanks IranFirst and BotShekan

by divaneh on

I did not find the video funny, but your comments were much appreciated. Jewish thanking god for having given them holes was really funny.

What toilet to use? My advice for those with an active sex life.

by comments on

Persian toilets are strongly recommended for those with an active and clean sex life.  It has nothing to do with your gender, sexual orientation or whatever you do in the bed.

I don’t have much problem with using either of them now!  Though I have to just be careful not to keep the toilet paper in my pants after finishing my work:) 

For bitter cows’ information, in some restrooms in Japan there is a bowl with water in it at the door.  Everybody is welcome to use to wash their hands.  In the same country there are some very nice restrooms playing music after you close the door and you have the option to change the music.  My trip was perfect if I could have had the option of an Iranian music.

My dear Mouse

by Rea on

If u come to France, you take a motorway, and you need a restroom, you'll find out it's not so different.

If u travel further, you'll find out that it's very different.

But that's the beauty of it, travelling is about discovering. And for those who don't like it, there is always a sunflower field. Or corn field. Or whatever handy.

Personally, no patience for sissies.

Rea if u go 2 Iran 4 a visit do u know how2 use Iranian toilet?!

by Esfand Aashena on

This video doesn't go into the detail but many places don't have a water hose and only a watering can, which is more complicated!  If you have to go to bathroom in Iran won't you be worried if you see this kind of bathroom for the first time?! Tour companies should have some training! 

Everything is sacred


Rea

reader, I'd also like to know

by Rea on

if this is supposed to be humorous? If yes, I missed something.

IranFirst

This is NOT Islamic, where are the stones ?

by IranFirst on

Pleae follow the proper Islamic way next timeand don't forget the stones, as Mohamd recommended

--------

Rules:

A Muslim must first find an acceptable place away from standing water, or people's pathways or shade.[4] They are advised that it is better to enter the area with the left foot,[5] facing away from the Qiblah.[1]

While on the toilet, one must remain silent. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is strongly discouraged.[1]
When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each
other's private parts, and especially not handle each other's private
parts.[6] A man should not touch his private parts with the right hand.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

The Islamic prophet Muhammad specified that one should use an odd number of stones (preferably three) to cleanse the anal orifice after defecation and then proceed to a different location to wash it with water. Use of toilet paper in place of stones is now acceptable, but washing with water is still needed for ritual purity.[14] When leaving the toilet, one is advised to leave with the right foot,[5] and also say a prayer – "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."[1] This is similar in concept to the Asher Yatzar prayers said by Jews when leaving the toilet in which they thank God for the openings used to defecate/urinate.[15]

by Dirty Angel on

 Those loos are by far superior in matters of health e.g. hygiene, peristalsis, (what's the name of the Aussie Edwardian feminist, who used to teach squatting?), not to mention the environment, but of course, for safety reasons, maybe they should add some form of rails or something.
