According to the International Space Station (ISS) commander Luca Parmitano, none of the toilets at the space station are working and thus, astronauts are forced to use "diapers". There are two toilets at the ISS, both Russian-made - one in the US module and another one in the Russian one. The toilet in the US section constantly signals that it is not working, while the one in the Russian module is filled to the maximum.
