I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
One extra feature most of these have is small=3L, large=6L, large but hold the button down=9L.
I hope those volumes are discharge and not....err... discharge
NSFW would be if you haven't closed the toilet.
The ones I've seen have symbols like "I / II" on the buttons, so you know which is which. Others here have explained the purpose. I guess in your picture, the #2 button is the bigger one.
I just pushed both buttons because I didn't know how this thing worked
Push both until the shit is ALL GONE. Don't be like my housemate :(
The right button is the right button.
It's a smaller button inside a larger button (sort of), the smaller (right) button you push to flush your urine and the larger (left) you push to flush your excrement. I've used these many times but if I'm honest I've never actually been sure if they work.
Small one is for #1, bigger one for #2.
Seriously had to make a post to figure this out?
One of the buttons might have been the "evacuate bowl onto floor" option. Aren't all toilets like this? Flushing was a fun adrenaline-fueled adventure the first time before I knew which button was which.
There is this other line of thinking. Most frequently used should be more easily accessible hence bigger. That is what is causing confusion here.
I say we should call this Game Cube controller's logic.
A lot of the comments are making the assumption that the buttons are telling the truth about being different sizes, but I've flushed plenty of toilets where both buttons do a full flush. If you can't tell the difference after experimenting, it might just be broken or cheap tat.
The way these flush mechanisms work is adjustable. It's entirely possible that someone adjusted them to have both have similar volumes for whatever reason
Hi!
It's a dual flush toilet! They give you an option to make the toilet do a full flush or a half flush. The smaller button operates the small flush, while the larger button operates the bigger flush! The smaller flush is better suited to use when you pee, since it requires less water to flush away.
