Well, I've never visited a public toilet in a Chinese train station.
But, I used to take the MBTA in Boston and have to change at Park St.

It tells you a lot about a society when you gotta wear an adult diaper because you can't get to a bathroom. That said, I wonder if any American men are wearing them during the Super Bowl?

A woman I know that worked at a casino told me that some people actually wear these so they never have to leave their favorite slot machine.

Like so many other things the Chinese buy, they probably do so because they think we buy them, and they want to be like us.
To: Dr. Marten
It makes sense. Would you want to use a Chinese toilet?

Nothing beats a product that allows you to poop in your pants in public.

Reminds me of a business quip I heard a while back goes like this...
"Working here is like peeing yourself while wearing a dark brown suit: you get a nice warm feeling but nobody notices."
