Both cubicles at my home didn't have toilet paper. I had to resort to using the bum gun for the first time. It didn't feel right to me and I can only say that it is a most uncivilized cleaning method. I felt low class at the end of the procedure and water was dripping everywhere. I had to take a shower. 

 

Have you ever used one before

 

Im off to 7 eleven to buy some TP

I think the bum gun gets you cleaner than toilet paper,

especially when your finger goes through the paper and

ends up covered in shit,

Then you have problem that maybe your toilet gets blocked

with the paper, so its bum gun for me everytime.

Once you get the aim of the bum gun sorted out, you will find using the bum gun a much cleaner process than using toilet paper.

Bum gun every time. Using toilet paper I now find extremely unhygenic.

love the gun. much cleaner than paper. Terminal 21 in Bangkok has motorized guns with heated seats. when in Bangkok I always start my evening there. 

One of the reasons I shop at Home Pro is they have bum guns in toilet.  Try never to go anywhere that does not have them. 

I think most people/tourists who come to visit here on holiday, if they have a wet room type bathroom back home, the first thing they do is install a bum gun.

Every person who has ever visited us says the bum gun is a revelation compared to smearing shIt all over your crack...

Concur with all the above posts - far more hygenic than crappy paper (excuse the pun).

 

And another thing, going back to the motherland every couple of years for family visits etc - i dread the rigmarole of having to use bog roll to clean my poor, sore arse.

When I first got here I made it a point of using the toilet at home before going out as I just couldn't use a squat loo. To this day, after 12 years of visiting and living here I've only once used a squat loo for a dump and it is not an experience I ever care to repeat. Trying to splash water from a scoop whilst squatting is impossible.

Well its been awhile, guess we were due for this to come around again.

 

Take a shovel full of dirt and throw it on the patio, then try wipe it up with towels, or clean off using a hose pipe. The principal is the same, the hose will get it cleaner, faster, every time.

 

One of the best things to ever come out of Thailand "The bum gun" wouldnt care to use anything else now. Even installed one in my home in the UK.

 

 

I though toilet was only used on the dining table or on the floor when eating.

Bum gun all the way and if you get thirsty it's a win win

55555....maybe the OP didn't realize that he had to aim at the "source."  But seriously, I also use toilet paper after the spray.  Back in the day (read before bum gun), I'd sometimes have to use practically half the roll and still not be as clean as with the gun.  I recall Eddie Murphy covering this in one of his early comedic routines.

Nope, no way.

Having never used a bum gun, when squirting does ones hand become operational also also after the squirt do you have to dry with toilet paper, or do you leave the toilet dripping?

Yip, I'm a full convert to the bum gun.  Now I find it a bit nasty when when only tp (aka shit tickets) is available.  I still appreciate having tp (or something) to dry though.  Those new toilet seats with all the water options are also amazing...

Smear Nutella on your arm and start wiping it with toilet paper and see what happens.

 

Do the same and then spray the bum gun on it (perhaps over the toilet) and see what happens. Once finished ideally wipe with paper to dry it. 

 

There really is no comparison.

I recommend "The Encyclopedia Of Toilet Etiquette". Great reading. 

Skidmarks are a thing of the past thanks to the wonderful bum gun!!

Maybe a waste of Nutella but surely you were not expecting him to say, smear some s++t on your arm.????????

I can't understand why America, my country, the greatest country in the history of mankind, can't clean our collective asses as effectively and hygienically as a developing country we are so much better than.

 

Also, why did  God put our oil under the ground in other places around the world?

You are the first person I have ever known, who was critical of the bum gun. It is far superior to TP. I use a combo of bum gun and wet wipes. Many Thais consider farangs dirty if they only use toilet paper. I tend to agree.

Nope, but he could have licked it off in the interests of experimentation.

We don't have toilet dripping, only beef dripping - it's great on toast.

The paper is for drying, not wiping. Usually a bin close by to put the used paper in, as its not dirty.
