The author mentions the tersorium, but I'm surprised that he doesn't bring up family wipes (also know as "family cloth") https://inhabitat.com/family-cloths-gro

  I did that for a while with my family. I think it's a good step towards being cleaner, but ultimately a bidet is the easiest and cleanest. At that point the family cloths can just be "dry off" cloths, i.e. after washing with the bidet, dry the water off. The water should be clean unless you missed some ;)

  Just do the Indian technique. Its so much cleaner and more environmentally friendly. You basically have a small pot and you wash your butt after every poop, and then wash your hands.

    Do you use soap along with the water? The variation I'm aware of is using a watering can, your hand, and lots of soap to wash the area and dry it off with toilet paper. A lot of public toilets in the Middle East will have something similar to a kitchen sink spray attachment mounted on the wall next to the toilet along with a liquid soap dispenser. You can use them in a similar way to the pot you mention.
