Not to sound like one of those people, but a bidet. It hasn't eliminated my use of toilet paper, but certainly has reduced it, while leaving a squeaky clean feeling. I miss using it while away from home nowadays.
Other things are eye masks (I have sleep quality issues) and ereaders (never moving with ten boxes of books again).
I can’t recommend a bidet enough. I’ve stopped using toilet paper all together and just use soap and a towel to dry off.
It’s especially amazing if you get the hot water hooked up to it.
Can you elaborate on this routine? I’ve heard of folks using clean rags that go into a bin. Or air-drying…
So when I first got the bidet I was using tp but it would get soaked from drying myself off. I figured if I’m going to get my hands wet may as well use soap and towel myself off, right?
So I have a towel warmer next to my toilet. It heats about 4 small towels at a time. Once I am done with my business, I clean myself with the soap and towel myself off with a warm towel (pure heaven). Afterwards, I hang the towels on the shower door so they can dry before going into the dirty clothes bin.
I spent like $700 for a 13" boox max and it's amazing. Smaller ones are functional enough for standard prose, but stuff like textbooks and programming books that have more structured formatting really take advantage of the larger pages. I can't put a single page of any of that on my older kindle oasis, but I can comfortably do a landscape two page setup with the max.
I tried having a bidet a couple times, but I ended up having issues with certain delicate skin becoming cracked and bleeding. Not sure what the cause was, but no bidet for me.
So what you're saying is that you moisturize with your feces?
It's very easy to add on a conventional toilet.
My bidet came with all sorts of funny testimonies on the box like:
Squeaky clean could be embarrassing though.
