Smart toilets?

Many women in India would've faced this, every time we plan for a day trip I make sure I use the toilet at home and get out of my door. Many a time I have to hold it till the end of the day as most of the places doesn't have a toilet or even if it does, it will be in horrible condition, no water/not cleaned for months.

I was reading about Bill gates travel to half the world to check a toilet, their focus is in providing sanitation facility. I admire this quality,  earning money and giving it to make the world better place, great!...

Main problem here is we have toilets in many places, maintaining them is the issue. I feel need of the hour is smart "simple" toilets installed in public places which could self clean effectively.

Men don't have the habit of flushing, women don't dispose their sanitary pads properly. Atleast clean pots can be ensured through these smart simple self cleaning toilets. When I was reading about these smart toilets, it has lot of unnecessary features 😵. I just wish every public place be installed with simple effective toilet so women can use it easily.

I still remember our Sinhad mountain hiking in Pune....one can spend a day there, nice hiking spot with yum food. Only disadvantage "Toilet"😭. Men go to the woods and mark their territory!!. Not a good choice for many women.

Akshardham in Gujrat/Modhera/Jyothirlingams/Shirdi/Ajantha/Ellora caves....just think of any tourist spots....issue persists.
