Home Bio Gas defines long-drop toilets, also known as pit latrines, as the most basic waste management solution. They are primarily used in rural areas, remote camping sites, or off-grid locations.

A long-drop toilet typically consists of four simple elements: a deep hole in the ground, a wood or concrete floor with a small hole, a lid to cover the hole, and a structure built around it for privacy and shelter.

She captioned the clip:

"POV: You're visiting your grandmother in the village and now you need to use the toilet."

Although the woman may have had personal reservations about using the toilet, she did also mention that she preferred the long drop over the toilet in the house.
