Who uses toilet paper?
Twenty years ago when I was staying at the Four Seasons
Hotel in Tokyo
Japan I was introduced to the Toto Washlet toilet seat. It was, at the time, a very expensive "luxury" toilet seat. Cost was over $1,000 at the time. Now, it is available in different models and the SEAT ALONE (at lower cost) can be installed on a typical home toilet (however, small form
marine heads will probably not work or fit).
It is a "watershed" (pun intended) experience to use one for the first time.
Obviously it is not something many people have experienced, but when they do, I suspect they would prefer this over using typical toilet paper. It is THAT different. Hard to describe, but it provides a small concentrated spray or "warm shower" where it is needed after one uses a toilet. No toilet paper is needed. I tested (used) it for a week and found it 100% satisfactory for effectiveness, and I was very skeptical prior to trying it the first time.
If one is into comfort and cleanliness, this is an extraordinary toilet seat.
These are automated "washing" seats that have the following features:
1. Heated seat
2. Warm water sprays up to wash the body
parts
3. No need for paper
4. Warm air blow dries the body parts
5. Uses little water

What about marine use on a small boat?
There is also a portable model (hand held) too, that is less costly,
battery operated, and intended for travel.

IF you have the ability to be handy with tools and can rig up some
power (inverter use) and fresh water access in your head, you might like the following:
