The famous manufacturers of bathroom porcelain, 'Armitage Shanks' used to test their flushes with a half a folded copy of the Telegraph newspaper. If the loo could cope with that, it could cope with anything a mere human could drop in it.

(Little aside here, whilst on a canal in Shropshire, we sailed past a porcelain factory that had literally hundreds of loos lined up outside it, for loading. The factory was called 'J W Shufflebottom'... a name I thought extremely appropriate).

There are commercially available 'moist towelettes' for travel use that will degrade reasonably quickly, but for the old fashioned amongst you, don't use glossy magazines... they are (apparently) nowhere near as absorbent and difficult to flush away.

I read sometime back, most likely in "Prevention" magazine which I was reading religiously at the time that those with a diet higher in fiber tend to have softer stools, while those eating a more concentrated diet, usually high in animal protein tend more to shit stones (which also tend to clog toilets). Whatever the piece I read was, it also said that the stools of the higher fiber-eating people tends to make better fertilizer.

Apparently, Mother Earth, in her infinite wisdom has "intelligently designed" a cycle where we eat less meats and concentrated foods, and we produce better fertilizer to help grow more of the things we should be eating anyway. Makes sense to me.

As to the original subject of this thread, a stream of water or a damp cloth will work wonders.

Another thought - You can place a plastic spray-bottle beside the loo at home. Even fill it with rose-water or orange-blossum water -- something gentle.

And I'd want that water a bit warm, meself. Would hate to have me head stuck in a ceiling tile with me drawers around me ankles!

OH yes! That problem. I'm still thinking Summer. A bit of pre-planning needed perhaps.
Warning -- do not use the gets-grime-off-fast-from-the-shower spray bottle by mistake.
Or the fly-spray. Or the oven cleaner. Or the dog's flea spray.....
