Word: Flushless Toilet
Definition: A "flushless toilet" is a type of toilet that does not use water to clean itself after someone uses it. Instead, it relies on bacteria to break down the waste. This means that when you use the toilet, the waste is broken down naturally without needing to flush it away with water.
Usage Instructions: 1. Using the Toilet: When you need to use a flushless toilet, simply sit down and do your business as you would with a regular toilet. 2. No Flushing Needed: After you are done, you do not need to press a flush button or pull a lever. The toilet will naturally break down the waste over time. 3. Keep It Clean: Some flushless toilets may require you to add special materials or substances that help the bacteria work better.
Example Sentence: "I visited a camping site that had flushless toilets, and I was surprised at how clean and odor-free they were."
