As you can see in the video, in India the left hand is used to wipe your bottom.
Washing with water cleans much better than toilet paper, it's more hygienic, and cools the lower chakras at the same time. In any case you probably (hopefully!) clean those areas when taking shower without even thinking about it.
After passing stool, while pouring water from behind with the right hand, you clean the area with the middle finger of the left hand. Just keep pouring water and using your fingers till it's clean. For most people from the west this is really difficult to do, but the sooner you get used to it the better. Beside toilet paper is often not available, even if you can get it, toilet paper tends to clog the drain quite easily.
Some people still like to use paper to dry themself. Of course afterwards you should, as with paper, wash your hands with soap. Rub the soap in the right hand (your clean hand remember :-) ), put back the soap, and clean the left hand with the right. And do you know how much forest is cut, just for toilet paper? My experience was, that after getting over my initial aversion, I feel better using water, and actually feel kind of dirty if, for any reason I can't use water to clean afterwards.
