You could install a bidet on your toilet. Disclosure: I’ve never used a bidet.
Cost
Bidet: $750
Installation: $250 (a guess)
Total: $1,000
Time savings (assuming 1.5 bowel movements/day)
Hand washing: 60s per day (40s/BM)
Read a book or use your phone instead of wiping: 45s/day (30s/BM)
Reduced need to clean backside when showering: 10s/day
Total: 6 hours/year (PV ~ 37 hours, assuming a 10% discount rate and a bidet lifetime of 10 years)
Cost per hour: $27
you can get cold water pressure driven bidets for like $60

actually nvm this one is only $29.
No clue about the quality though. May be better to go for something $20.
Installing mine costed me around 2 hours. You could use it for a year.
Which means the cost per hour actually comes down to something like $7.5, which is way below minimum wage!
It really takes you half a minute per bathroom visit to wipe your bottom, and saves you any time in the shower?
(It occurs to me that questioning your time estimates as high sends bad signals about my personal characteristics...)
