A toilet (13) has a nappy holder mounted thereon. The nappy holder (15) contains a nappy ((1),also known as a diaper) of the type comprising a main body portion (3) and a tongue portion (5) for collecting excreta from a baby. The nappy holder (15) is so arranged that the tongue portion is positioned away from the main body portion of the nappy, such that when the toilet is flushed, the flush washes over the tongue portion and washes excreta (such as faeces and urine) off the tongue portion and into the toilet bowl. The nappy holder may have a wire frame.
