   It’s a hot commode-ity.   
      
   Forget face masks, toilet paper rolls are flying off the shelves   
   — and people are actually wondering if there are viable   
   alternatives.   
      
   Newspapers and wet wipes are not designed to be flushed, but   
   water is — and is the preferred method in many parts of the   
   world, according to Metro UK, which got to the bottom of the   
   dilemma.   
      
   Though not common in the US, bidets are standard fixtures as   
   toilet companions that users straddle and wash their nether   
   regions.   
      
   In the absence of a bidet, people can resort to using a lota, a   
   jug that is a familiar sight in Asian households that uses water   
   to clean one’s privates.   
      
   The news outlet provides a hands-on guide on how to clean up   
   after nature calls:   
      
   — Fill the lota with lukewarm water.   
   — After doing your business, remain on the throne and lean   
   forward, back or to the side.   
   — Pour copious amounts of water on the appropriate location.   
   — Use your hand to aid in the cleansing.   
   — Wash your hands thoroughly and dry up.   
      
   And in case this grosses you out, there’s always the option of   
   reusable toilet paper, which is euphemistically known as “family   
   cloth,” Kelly Corbett wrote in House Beautiful.   
      
   A typical roll consists of 20 cloth squares usually composed of   
   two layers of either cotton or flannel — that can be washed and   
   used repeatedly.   
      
   “Some family cloth even comes in decorative patterns to help get   
   your mind off the fact that this cloth has potentially touched   
   the rear ends of numerous people,” she wrote.
