spidermike007 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Using only paper in the US feels filthy. Have started using wet wipes. Much better. Definitely prefer the hose. And those Japanese toilet seats are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were successful nut COLD. I am a bumgun convert and thought about installing one at home in the UK, but the chill of the mains water supply put me off.

I'm surprised that so few have mentioned this aspect - there are things that I will do with a Thai girl with no hesitation that would be disgusting with a Westerner. You can read into that as much or as little as you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When traveling on a train in India, a million years ago, i met up with a guy and we were exchanging traveling stories, on how it could be annoying sitting with say 5 Indians who would all ask you the exact same questions, and would not give you any peace, he told me when it comes to the inevitable question "What work do you do" he said if you want them to leave you alone tell them your a toilet cleaner, then start eating with your Left hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You was not informed, about the correct use of bum gun. My first was to apply one bum gun, into my home toilet, in Hungary. This is the most higinic way to clean the bum.

Reginald Prewster Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 A bum gun is a multifunctional tool. It stops using wipes, it keeps your skin intact and where are no scratches self grown bacterias can't enter your body, it stops brake tracks in your Calvin Klein and it cleans also the bowl in one go... After getting used to it I miss it when I am on European Ships working. Disadvantage: Using after a longer bum gun period wipes again takes one sitting and you butt is in bloom... ????????

pl8lad Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) The ass spray gun is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, or snow freeze ice creams. Way way cleaner than pushing dunny paper around your ass and spreading the sh*t about. ✅ Edited April 22, 2023 by pl8lad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlyai Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Last month my sort of Aussie dermatologist BIL visited us in greater Isaan. Seems like Europe (somewhere) had a lot of special anal infections that bumgunning Asians don't get. So Bumgunning (less that 2 bar) is very hygienic. ????

Simon1287 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 On 4/21/2023 at 5:39 AM, Crossy said: The UK would require a "double-check valve" which is essentially two non-return valves in one housing. No, not even a double check valve is good enough for UK regulations. Sadly. Yes, I have checked it out thoroughly. It was quite some time ago now I looked into it but something like a double check valve gets you past a class (or grade or whatever the word is) 3 risk whereas the bum gun is classed as a 5 risk (the highest risk number) to the drinking water supply. The reason being that If the end gets dropped in the toilet bowl and any kind of suction in the pipes occurs that draws the water backwards up the pipes the water supply could have toilet water sucked into it. A highly unlikely event I imagine but presumably not impossible or the regs would not exist at all. Not important in a country like Thailand where hardly anyone is brave enough to drink the water anyway, of course. Yes, I know a few brave souls do drink it and seemingly get away with it but some brave souls also do all sorts of silly things in life and get away it. Most don't. Basically, in the UK, unless the homeowner has spent a lot of money installing one that is completely isolated in some way from the mains water supply it is illegal no matter if you have 100 check valves in place. If you do have one and the water company is due to pay you a visit for any reason I would disconnect it quickly! If anyone has thought of a legal way to install one in the UK please post the method here! Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobU Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 took me a month before i first tried it i think it is far better than paper an more hygienic. unfortunately up here in Issan the water is cut off for 15 or more hours a day and the pressure reduced at other times our water tank isn't sited high enough to give adequate BG pressure so i'm reduced to using paper again and getting the septic tank pumped out early. looking to have a bore hole made so we are not reliant on the water utility company (we're not far from the Mekong). I'll be taking one or two of these devices back to the UK with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this isn't mentioned in the OP. No scrubbing means you still need to use toilet paper to not only dry your butt, but get the last remnants of stool out of your anus. It seems weird to me that there might be people wandering around thinking you just spray and then let the environment do the rest. They must be thinking they have a superiorly clean anus, while in reality it is probably dirtier than if they used just paper. yes even bum gun and paper leaves a smell of poo on ones botty if you test it with your finger swimming pools are full of feces from dirty bottoms where many dont wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
