4. Two Possible Suggestions
Fri Jun 5, 2026, 09:19 AM
Friday

(1) Connect a garden hose from your sink or from a nearby shower to serve as a water rinse device. Rinse as necessary and then allow the (rinsed) area to drip-dry.

OR

(2) Fill a half-gallon container with a decent pour spout and then use it as a water rinse service. Rinse as necessary and then allow the (rinsed) area to drip-dry.

Of No Note Whatsoever:

(A) Here in the Philippines, TP is not always available, butt water is usually (cold).

(B) Seriously try to allow the rinsing water to trickle into the toilet bowl, not onto the floor. And why yes, it does take a bit of practice.
