How compulsory is istinja? I would like to know because my dad wants to stop me from doing it because of the mess, and says that you can only do it with 'primitve' Middle-Eastern toilets? But I've read that most people in the UK use a bottle of water.
If you can't get a lota, it's no problem. You could use a (thoroughly) cleaned out plastic milk bottle. You know, the two litre size. Does the job!
There's no doubt it is nice to clean using running water; when you are used to it, you would never like to go back to 'wipe & go'!

I still don't get the whole jug concept. Do you use it sitting down, or do you stand up and do it?

guys is there some link which explains it in detail 4searchingsoul? perhaps some stickfigure sketch to make it clear lol.

Yes, that would be perfect.
I can see how it would clean if the toilet shot up a forceful gush of water, but my toilet doesn't do that. The trickle down theory doesn't seem plausible to me. Maybe I should just get off my tush now and go try it.

Great news! I tried it myself! I found it messy. I think I'd have better luck using the detachable shower head. But this will be inconvenient to say the least. I'll stick to baby wipes. Aren't you glad you know?

Try this, get one of those watering pails, those sall sized ones, seeing as though it has a spout with a small opening, the targetting becomes more precise ...

Oh, that's a lovely idea. I think a turkey baster would work well. It holds a lot of water and would allow for a precise aim.

If you go arabia, you'll see that alot of toilets have some sort of small shower head thing next to them. So they work really well, and you don't run out of water either. You just press the button and water comes out.
There are those other kind of toilets in Pakistan and in some masjids, I forgot the name for them, may istinja can be performed more swiftly and mess free on that.
