<upd_refs>おまる in the "bedpan" sense is in plenty of modern refs (sankoku, meikyo, JEs, etc.).
Some refs actually have 虎子 read as "おまる" (gg5, sankoku 7e).

GG5 has こじ【虎子】 but in a figurative sense. 「虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず」</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I'm familiar with おまる but I've never seen it written without the お (I hadn't actually released that the お was an honorific prefix until now). My assumption is that the お-less form is archaic/obsolete.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>[arch] seems to be okay</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>I only see まる【虎子】 in daijr/s, koj, and kanjipedia. I don't see it mentioned in any of the entries for まる in other refs.

Web search for "虎子を使っ" only brings up one relevant result, and it's an essay titled "古代・中世のトイレ話"
