FYI: (as if it matters) i'm an american born chinese and this is probably the most "chinese" thing we did in raising our baby. actually, between cloth diapers, biodegradable disposable diapers, and EC, there are a lot more options for parents these days. my adventures in crunchy parenting here: http://cynematic.wordpress.com/2007/10/16/elimination-communication-how-tos-and-suggestions/ um…(raising hand) me, I’M one of those crunchy parents who did EC with her son (now 4). it worked for us and i was *really* happy with how it worked out. and glad that i used many many fewer plastic disposable diapers than i would have otherwise. and yes, we always used a receptacle of some kind, not the street.

Although, it involves little toilets LOL That blog entry was hilarious, I can only imagine what a shock it must be to see that!

I saw a lot of split pants during our China trip (Xi'an) but mostly on older kids who would just squat on the sidewalk. Which is gross, but less gross. I did not have to experience projectile poo. And if you don't think about the poo part, the split pants are actually kind of cute. Kind of. Thanks for visiting me! Okay, that’s pretty gross.

I've posted several pictures of toilets and public washrooms on my China trip blog, but I'm glad I didn't see anything like this. Very gross.
