Bidet, which they also mention, was a revelation to me. I first tried it in Turkey a few years back, and immediately upon return outfitted all of the toilets in my home with Japanese bidets. Toilet paper is used only to dry off (although the bidet also has air dry). Smearing shit around with toilet paper is a barbaric custom which really needs to go.
Even with a wand bidet, you don't touch the shit, mostly. Point the stream of the wand along the hand to make a little directable steam, modulate shape and power, etc.
Like using a hose at half pressure and your thumb over the end to clean dropped food on marble. You'd sort it out, generally don't have to scrub.
And if you have to scrub, it's under a steam of running water. But usually no scrubbing.
Cleaning the toilet is easier with a wand bidet, too. I like that the wand is extremely low profile, nothing under the toilet seat.
Talking about this directly in America feels ever so slightly sstrange, and this website codes american. Maybe I'm projecting.
