Did pirates have toilets

Answer 1

Assuming you are referring to pirates of an earlier era, say perhaps in the 17th - 18th centuries, when frilly lace shirts and muskets were all the rage, pirates generally tended to make their waste into buckets or makeshift chamberpots when they were unable to avail themselves of the ocean. These buckets, which were secured in a discrete corner of their quarters, were emptied into the sea at regular intervals.

Of course, on land, pirates went to the toilet wherever they liked, and they've got a cutlass and a parrot that dare you to stop them.

Answer 2

I would imagine not, they went over the sides of the ship...whether they had a toilet like seat to sit on, I don't know, but I would think it would be risky to just bend over the sides of the ship without falling overboard. I know in medieval times they had toilet seats overhanging the walls of castles and it would just fall into a pit or on the ground outside the castle walls, or into a moat. I don't know what they used as toilet paper but I would imagine leaves or possibly even as the Romans did....using communal sponges and water (ick).
