Toilet paper isn't the most optimal solution for home use. It is what's been used for millennia but Japanese on-toilet bidets are superior. (American companies have noticed, and have stayed manufacturing their own.) There is an adjustment period, but (and I am not a professional plumber) without the semi-solid waste, I think it would also be better for our sewers.

Cheap toilet paper from wood pulp is only about 150 years old. Before then there was not a lot of spare paper around. Woodpulp paper can be made quickly biodegradable.
