A bidet. It’s something I really miss when I travel.

Yeah in Iran we had something like a hose and it was everywhere. It was so good. Still we make fun of westerners cause they have poopy butts. Unfortunately now i have a poopy butt also :/

Idk, a good diet and physically spreading the cheeks (to simulate squatting) when using the restroom seems to basically prevent messy cleanup.

When I eat crap food, that's when I need a lot of toilet paper.

Somehow other animals don't need toilet paper.

> Somehow other animals don't need toilet paper.

In fairness, other animals very often could use some cleaning in that area.

In my limited experience, it's usually when they are sick or dying.

Seems like a lot of trouble to avoid a gentle spray on your brown star.

Eating healthy and spreading one's cheeks as the sit down is hardly a lot of trouble.

I like bidets, but I hardly need them. When I build my next house, it will have bidets.

Bidets are becoming more common in the US, so laugh while you can. We seem to be shedding the unsavory cultural connections the US made with them after WW2.
