The Bathroom Situation

We have already discussed that the Amish of some sects are banned from having modern plumbing. So we may be wondering how they handle the entire bathroom situation. Instead of having the modern toilets that we are familiar with, they use outhouses. These are small structures built outside the homes.

They usually have pit latrines, which consist of holes that are used to collect urine and feces, and a slab with a drop hole in the middle. Some of them use bucket toilets.
