  • Publication number: 20180353018
    Abstract: A toilet includes a toilet bowl part with a waste discharge hole formed on its bottom part and also includes a valve structure capable of opening and closing the waste discharge hole, and the toilet bowl part is formed of a material having flexibility. Accordingly, the toilet bowl part is easily bent by waste brought into the toilet bowl part. When the toilet bowl part is bent while waste is accumulated in the bottom part of the toilet bowl part, a gradient on an inner surface of the toilet bowl part becomes larger, so that the waste can be easily led to the bottom part of the toilet bowl part.
