* Historically, many items were used before the widespread use of toilet paper as they weren't going into modern plumbing anyways and being used in an outhouse. Things like leaves, cloth rags, sticks, and moss were pretty much universal, while some options were more regional (e.g. corn cobs and corn husks, which were mostly used in the Americas). The Romans famously had communal latrines equipped with sticks tied with a bit of sponge dipped in water—and yes, the sticks were communal too. By the 19th century, paper products were more common, particularly pages from newspapers, magazines, and mail catalogs such as the Sears Catalog.

* In some countries, it's common to use other methods instead of toilet paper. For example, in some Asian countries, it's common to wash your bottom with water (from a bucket or a bidet) and your hands. It's also not unheard of in other places (like in the Middle Eastern and North African countries, as seen in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'') to use soil or sand because the soil/sand there is so hot and barren that it's sterile. And of course, there's using leaves or other plant matter... and historically, there's also [[AssShove rubbing your anus on the edge of a stick]].

Washing with water (from a bidet, bottle, or watering can) is also common in the Muslim world, as it’s considered ''sunnah'' (an admirable tradition of the Prophet); TP is usually provided but only to dry up the water.
