Squatting is a flexible position in which the body's weight is supported by the feet but the knees and hips are bent. Adults in China, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe frequently squat instead of sitting or standing. This habit is called "chowkram." In North America, squatting is used as a means of relaxation or relief from stress. Squatting to go to the bathroom is also called "going for a squat." In Japan, people often squat when using the toilet because the depth of its holes is less than what is customary in other countries. There, the common practice is to sit on the toilet while lifting one's legs into the air (called "sitting on the toilet"). In India, people commonly squat when using the toilet, but there are also toilets that you can stand up inside of. These are called "3-in-1 toilets" because they have the ability to wash your hands, face, and mouth at once. In Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America, the common practice is to use a squatty pot, which is usually made of clay or metal, as opposed to a water-filled bowl for washing one's hands and face.
