Goodness me, you modern girls are spoilt rotten! In my day, I had to make do with a long drop. However, my husband and I had His n' Her long drops, so it was all a little bit fancy, and our dunnies had a lovely view .... bitterly cold in the winter, mind you.
Unfortunately there are no photos of my old long drop-come-menstra hut, but I did find this picture which looks
very much like it (including the view and the attached "His" toilet!):
The interior was plain, but it did the job. It was similar to the following picture, with the exception that the rim of the seat was much narrower, which suited me fine. A too-wide rim leads to lazy, all-too-comfortable buttocks, and one is given to daydreamimg and flights of fancy -- instead of remaining mindful that one is menstruating: one ought to be spending her time contemplating her sinful, filthy bodily functions and begging GOD for forgiveness. Always easier to concentrate on GOD when one is sitting on an uncomfortable, cold loo.
