Toilet details

Not since I lived in the Netherlands have I had thoughts about toilets. Until yesterday when I was shopping two of them. Latest fashion is to have the water dispenser built into the wall, with two buttons to push for small and big business. Still they haven’t learned that the small button is too small for women who tend to use more toilet paper, and the big is not economical. Something in between? Anyway, chose two standard ones, since it’s possible to change the seats on those. Designed toilets are not necessarily more comfortable, just more expensive and inflexible. The reason for thinking about toilets in Holland was that most of them hold a shelf, so that when you do a biggie you can turn around and inspect whatever you left behind. Why would be the question here.
