I dont think i saw any TP in VN. Everything was bidet and wash hands.
wasnt terrible. Cold showers constantly and no water pressure were by far more of a culture shock to me. It was more similar to when I would go and hike for weeks on end in college.
I was in the southern parts, you were hot and it was already warm. The shower was basically a way to cool off. I would take a couple a day, but they were always quick. and again, water pressure was like 5-10 psi on a good day.
We got an Airbnb in Hanoi at one point, and that had hot showers and good pressure and I took a very long one. Best I had felt in a while.

Yeah when they say 10 min max limit, they really mean it.
And even then you see people taking showers as fast as 5 minutes to save water stored in the tank.
Do they use rainwater collection tanks for showers or is it just a buffer tank on the roof to compensate for low pressure?
From what i saw they seemed to be pressure/heat tanks (they were mostly silver or dark and in full sun).
Looked like most places had their own personal water tower.
Skin pores close on cold water, making it less effective. Feels gross for me too (hypersensitivity), did that once for a while in a hot summer.
Hmm. I guess theoretically you could soap up with warmer water before getting in the cold shower. So the shower is mostly just rinse.
