Toilet
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A toilet is where most people get rid of bodily waste (urine and feces) into water where it will then be flushed into a sewage system. A room that has a toilet in it can be called a "restroom" or a "bathroom".
[edit] Toilets in homes
Today, almost all buildings have at least one toilet. In the home, a toilet may or may not be in the same room as a shower, bathtub, and/or wash basin. Some toilets are still outside. These may be called an "outhouse".
[edit] Public toilets
A public toilet may or may not cost money to use. Toilets that cost money are called "pay toilets".
Public bathrooms often have many toilets with walls between them. This makes an area called stalls (US) or cubicles (UK). Bathrooms for men often also have separate urinals. Urinals can either be on the wall for a single user, or a basin or trough for many men to use at the same time. Urinals on walls sometimes have smallers walls or dividers for privacy reasons.
Outdoor public toilets (in the street, around parks, etc.) are a form of street furniture. These toilets are in individual cubicles. Some are simple and have little or no plumbing. Others are less simple, and some toilets even clean themselves after every use.
Some toilets cubicles are mobile and can be put in place where and when they are needed. These toilets are called "portable toilets". Portable toilets are commonly used at large outdoor events like concerts or carnivals.
