Paper towels work, too. Facial tissue, as well.

Sears catalog. I also remember my grandmother who lived through the depression only allowing 2 squares of TP for whichever number, 1 or 2.

But seriously. I just ordered a bidet that attaches to a bathroom sink for warm water and cotton shop rags. These items are starting to become unavailable and/or price gouged so,,,

I regularly used wet t-shirt rags to clean my daughter's butt, once upon a time.
