I mean hey, if you want to walk around like that by all means. Maybe it's my ancestral Muslim side coming out, but I just feel dirty without cleaning myself afterwards.

Also, the water isn't that cold, even in the dead of winter here in the north east. And if you can't aim from that close I'm not sure what to tell you!

Having used all three, the neatest system IMO is to everyday carry a spray bottle of 70% isopropanol. Beyond just convenient hand sanitizer, this lets your wet the paper so you can finish with 2-3 wet wipes (typ. 2x dry + 2x wet). If the paper's thin, double it over a couple more times if needed.

It breaks down like TP (because it is TP), so this won't create a 100+ ton 'fatberg' in the sewer like commercial wet wipes can do.[0]

I'm here for even more extreme cleaning techniques to appease my OCD. Thanks!

Definitely cheaper than carrying around a TOTO portable bidet: https://www.totousa.com/travel-washlet

Im not sure thatd be healthy.
Why would you think that?

IPA is an extremely common ingredient in commercial wet wipes, so presumably you're not implying it's somehow unhealthy.

Not sure having a clean bum is a religious thing. Source: Atheist with a bidet.
Oh, of course it's not -- I was just playing around -- but cleanliness is something that is really emphasized in Muslim communities [1].
