Cleaning after defecation really requires the skillful application of wet paper towel, then dry paper towel, followed by a shower with a removable shower head set to the laser setting, with soap and disposable rag.
Having spent time in Japan, I found that a Toto washlet is inferior to the shower method. However, washlets are clearly better than only dry paper towel.
My process for American public restrooms involves wetting paper towels, preferably after defecating to maintain absorption of water in the clumped paper towels. It’s odd to me that bathroom stalls don’t offer the facility to wet paper towels. It must be obvious to all that dry paper towel (without soap nor water) cannot possibly clean fecal matter sufficiently, yet this seems to be the cultural norm.
Perhaps someone will invent a kind of washlet that works better than the current offering. I personally don’t need heating and gizmos, just a high quality and reliable cleaning on par with the shower method.
Okay imagine this. You finish taking a shit. And then there's a hole in the wall that you stick your ass in. Then your ass sealing the hole creates a vaccum where it can then flood the hole by violently shooting warm soapy water at your ass. It does this for 3 cycles with new recycled soapy water each time. Then it switches to the dryer mode and completely dries your behind.
