It is Pottermore, the official Twitter-channel for Pots-facts, 4. January shared a ’fun fact’, actually derives from an essay by J. K. Rowling.
'Harry and ron have not always had toilets. Before man began to use muggle plumbing methods in the 18. century, used witches and wizards to pee and administer relieve themselves where they just stood, and conjured the evidence away', sounds Pottermore-tweetet, there have been over 25,000 comments and 74.000 likes since it was put up.
Hogwarts didn't always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence. #NationalTriviaDay

Did they pull down their pants or just go right in them?
Did they lift up their robes as to prevent getting it all over and having two vanish that too?
What about wiping?
What about the smell?
Why wouldn't they just have continued using things like chamber pots and latrines? This makes no sense.
