Honestly guys you night have warned me !

So... I recently encountered what I now know as a bum gun for the first time. You know, that seemingly harmless little sprayer hanging by the toilet?

Yeah, well, harmless it is not.!

First, I had no idea how to use this thing, to I go in from the front or from behind. Spoiler alert: both ways felt wrong and there were no diagrams or instructions. I first thought it was for cleaning the floor, like a hose pipe or something.

 

Then there’s the water pressure. No one warned me it’s set to strip paint off walls! The second I squeezed the trigger, I nearly flew off the seat like a low-budget space launch. And let’s not even talk about the shock of cold water—no amount of mental preparation could have saved me from that wake-up call.

 

Anyway, seasoned veterans of the bum gun, I’m begging for your wisdom. What’s the correct technique here? How do you avoids not ending up taking shower!,

And is there a way to adjust the pressure so I don’t need a recovery period afterward?

Give a guy a hand here.I can't be the only one that's had this shock encounter when arriving here?

 

So what other little gems do I need to watch out for here?

Suggest you employ a nanny.

Bum gun, luxury. When I was a lad, it was a squat toilet, ie a hole in the ground, with a bucket of water with a label for administrating the water.

We use to dream of toilet paper.

A ladle, you were proper rich

Bum Gun great for putting your Piles back in order

[Gandtee]

Bum guns are not to be sniffed. The best thing since sliced bread. Especially crusty bread. Nearly forty years of use and I've never looked back.😉

After the rinse, how do you dry yourself? A cloth towel would be for single-use only and then washed, right? A new, clean towel for each person in the family, each time they poop, to add to the laundry every day. Or do you all share towels? Or do you ignore drying and just accept anal leakage as part of your life? If you dry yourself with tissue, the wet tissue falls to pieces as you use it and sticks in your crack. Any hair down there? Now you have dingle-berries! Forbid the thought that you might have to go #2 at the mall or somewhere public. No cloth towels, you have to use tissue, or sacrifice a sock and toss it in the trash on your way out. 

Geez, when you go swimming, do you use tissues to wipe your bum when you get out of the water?

I await the arrival of the Japanese toilet seat with ability to better control pressure, aim, even temperature on some. Available here but not widely found in the malls, as yet. Problem will be some folks spending inordinate amounts of time in the stalls!

Not really,

 

There are quality paper here to, and can recommend a few hotels who have paper you do not put your finger through.

 

Even in Spain, most places have decent toilet paper.

OP, learn to love it.

 

Your finger pressure on the trigger determines the water pressure you get.

 

Gently, a slow flow. More, you can give yourself a free enema if you so wish.

 

You will learn how to point the nozzle in the correct direction. Practice makes perfect.

 

So enjoy Thailand's greatest contribution to world civilization.

Use your forefinger to gently press the 'trigger'.

Use your middle finger as a kind of brake to control the flow of water. 

Try practicing that before using it for the real thing.

 

Otherwise - stop complaining and get on with it - or not.

Thousands of us use it without whining about it!

1. Finish your dump.

 

2. Grasp bum gun with your right hand, by the handle, edge yourself to front of your dump bowl.

 

3. Pointing the gun at your burnt plum at about 2 CMs, (Be careful not to press trigger early of all hell breaks loose) squeeze the trigger slowly, (Pressure warning), and allow water to wash your bum., using your left hand , 2 fingers, to gently caress your said burnt plum, (do not take too much pleasure or time doing this), only long enough to clean your butt.

 

4. When happy all your dump is now down the pan, use some tissue to pat your arse dry. Throw the tissue in the receptacle - not down the pan. If there is no tissue, your kecks will dry it for you when you hoist your trousers.

 

5. Redress, flush the toilet, wash your hands - and walk away, happy in your new-found achievement.

 

Job done!

These - very common in Thailand, especially out in the sticks!

 

No "bum gun", just a plastic bowl, no toilet paper, no wash basin, no soap and a squat loo!

 

Very off putting when seen in restaurants and used by customers who return to the table and then use their hands to pick ice from a bucket and put it into beers.

 

Muslims use the left hand for washing the arse and the right hand for handling food. 
no cross contamination there 

[Lucky Bones]

First time I saw it, I thought it was a drinking fountain.🙃🙃

[ricklev]

It always amuses me that my country, the self-proclaimed greatest country that god ever created in the history of the world, has not figured out the best way to clean their asses. 

 

I did read that the great Covid toilet paper shortage woke up a few to the beauty of the bidet.  

 

On a political toilet side note, I  purchased this from Lazada last night to celebrate the inauguration of the president the USA deserves.

Trump fan ... but that's still funny 😎

 

I guess if they sold one with obama, having a huge afro, that would be deleted, as being racist ...

With respect, when slicing a loaf of bread - hold loaf in left hand and slice with knife in right hand?

[Suitcase]

Now a lot of Thai people are making enough money they are buying toilet paper instead of using the bun gun

Go figure

Cover loaf with clean cloth to protect from left hand, then start slicing with right hand. Best technique since the invention of sliced bread. 

[IsaanExpat]

Every 7-11 in Thailand sells Mammy Poko wet wipes. Small enough to carry in your back pocket, always have 'em and never look back at TP again is my opinion😁
