A study aimed at finding the perfect way for women to pee has floundered because Westerners can't squat properly.
The Australian study aimed to compare Western toilets with third world squatting, reports The Australian.
But researchers found westerners could not hold the squat position for more than 30 seconds without falling over.
Prof Ajay Rane, of James Cook University, said: "We were quite sure squatting would be far superior to the Western toilet position, however we have a problem now - one third of the population is unable to squat."
