Hi Tan - I'm also a newbie, so what everyone has suggested already sounds pretty good.

One thing I use which I dont think has been mentioned, as I dont have a little squirt (yet), when we have a yuk poo, I bought a cheap egg flipper thing which I use to scrape the poo off onto a bit of toilet paper, and then that goes down the toilet

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but applix is the velcro tabs on some nappies.
