I have been using a hand held bidet sprayer to clean myself after urinating or defecating as a way to save on the use of toilet paper. They are easy to install on the supply line of your toilet and provide a very refreshing method of cleaning your self with out the use of paper. To dry myself, I use some squares of cotton jersey knit. Since I am just patting myself dry from water rather then bodily wastes, I can get several uses out of each cotton square before throwing it into the wash.
If perchance I missed with the spray and the cotton square comes up brown, it is a simple thing to rinse it with the spray of the hand held bidet in the nearby tub and toss it in the laundry. No toilet paper used. Since I started using a bidet, I have not suffered a UTI.
The water is cold, but in the summer, that makes it very refreshing. I got use to it in the winter and it really wasn't that big of a deal. However if you think that idea of spraying your nether parts with cold water is beyond your endurance, you can get fancy toilet seats that will heat the water before spraying you clean with it.
