The pipes in Ecuador are too weak to handle toilet paper, or basically anything other than human waste. So do not throw toilet paper into the bowl! There is a garbage can in every bathroom for this very reason. It can be hard to adjust to at first, but do not make the mistake of causing an overflow, or you'll have to deal with it. This might seem disgusting at first, but after a while you just get used to it. The hardest thing might be switching back to putting toilet paper in the toilet once you go back home.
