In India, it is common to clean with the left hand. When you use your right hand to throw the water, reach between your legs with your left hand. Cup your left hand to collect some falling water and use this to clean yourself. Ladies must be careful not to wipe in the direction of their genitals. Instead of cupping and throwing water upwards it is better for both genders to wiggle the middle-finger of the left hand rather fast while pouring water from the back in direction of the anus. Water plus finger-movement clean away wastes, and the left hand remains relatively clean due to the constant pour of water. The whole process is actually cleaner than doing it with toilet-paper which just smears wastes around the anal area.
