So just leave it with sticky, smelly residue. Then that the Tissue paper could not wipe off in a clean manner. but don't be surprised if people wonder what that smell is, unless they are in tune with a similar., mythologies.

The "bum gun" should be exported all round the world especially the UK where people just smear faeces over themselves and then clog up their toilet pipes with wads of paper.

It would make a great export. 

Thai sewage treatment plants are a lot smaller than Western ones, because they don't have to digest vast quantities of toilet paper.

Anyone know if Thai bum guns install without need for adaptors onto North American toilet water lines?

 

 

I'lll wager you can take a tap off the line that feeds the toilet.

I know how to use it.

I was just responding to : pristine.

 

If you think just spraying with the bum gun is making it pristine , ok for you then.

If a surface like glass has some excrement on it , and you shoot it off with a bum gun , would you lick that surface ?

Well you probably would , I wouldn't.

Now instead of glass , think of skin with pores and creases.

Still think it's "pristine" ?

 

If you (bare foot) step in dog poo.

 

Do you wipe it off or hose it off ?

Yes. I installed them for family members. The ones sold on Amazon come with an adapter for the water line. Took a few minutes to install.

How have I managed 85 years without a 'bum gun'? What is it for ?, what is it aimed at ? If the motion is properly tapered then there is nothing to shoot at !! Of course, after a nightout  enjoying an Indian curry or two then a 'flock of starlings over the chapel roof ' could warrant a thorough hosedown. Secondly , how does someone with a 3xxxl buttock manage to get the 'bb' into position to aquire the target ? We have a 'bb' in each of our bathrooms and I use it to blitz the odd ant or mossie !!

 

So if you got poo on your arm would you just wipe it with paper ? 

 

No you would wash your arm.

It keeps your ass from smelling like poop that you've smeared all over your butt with toilet paper after you poop.  <gag>
Westerners concept of cleanliness: Smear poop on your behind and call yourself clean - but you still smell like poop.
Thai concept of cleanliness: Wash the poop off of your butt, dry, and smell clean.  

You've probably walked around smelling like s**t for 85 years.  Try one year of smelling clean before you check out.

Thai style "bum-guns" are discouraged, even forbidden in Australia. They can be connected in to older toilet plumbing but there's no way to connect one in more modern toilets. It's alleged that they are subject to leaks or bursting and flooding. 

 

Leave it to a nanny-state like Australia to outlaw "bum-guns."  The UK and their loyal royal subjects in AU, CA, NZ and elsewhere never fail to amaze me with the ability to make up some of the stupidest laws on the planet. 

 "You can't connect it to a modern toilet!"
 Can you connect it to a modern kitchen sinks?
 "Sure, but HEY!  Are you trying to make trouble?"

It is a great. A wonderful addition to modern civilization. I used the Japanese bidets in Japan and the water force wasn't sufficient nor the direction of the flow, which you couldn't adjust much, as they were made for Japanese butts. Plus, they had all these high tech additions that nobody needed. But with a Thai bum gun, you have simple efficient way cleaning your bum. These days I'm at a loss what to do if I encounter a toilet that only has toilet paper. It seems so crude and messy. I don't know why these aren't a standard bathroom item in Western countries. I guess you could argue that public bum guns are not very hygenic but that's true of public toilets in general.

Virtually every house in the US that I lived in had one of these as an appliance next to the kitchen sink for rinsing dishes.
Man - that must of confused the hell out of the first Thais immigrating to America and living in American homes.

(Climbs up on kitchen counter, poops into sink, rinses butt, confused what to do with the turd in the sink)  😕

And sanitize your hands considering how many hundreds of others have held the gun with their dirty dick beaters.

Silly fellow.

 

There's a rocker switch on the wall behind the sink for the garbage disposal installed in the sink drain.

 

You're good to go unless you suffer from Pica disorder.

You would wager correct.  Replace the current shut off valve with either a double valve, or one with two outlets.  Then attack a standard flexible hose and spray nozzle as found on most kitchen sinks.

Just now, connda said:

Ah, but these are Thai immigrants that may not have garbage disposals installed.

 

In that case.......well, you ARE in the kitchen!

You guys must have had a strange technique to get yourselves in a mess like that.

[ricklev]

I always find it amusing and ironic that my country, the self-proclaimed greatest country on the face of the earth, can't figure out how to properly clean their asses.  

[Pouatchee]

In canada they don't have any and I miss mine. Have opted for the baby wipes. If anyone else ever noticed, sometimes I come across people with really bad BO and they smell like poop... maybe they should have used a bum gun. No one is really clean down there without one.

If you praise bumgun your mom didn't teach you how to shower.

The praise for bumgun is real indeed. This is why avoid Farang toilet in thailand. Imagine the aim after their barstool afternoon with chit on walls and mirrors

I would never step barefoot in dog poo.

 

Maybe cat poo ?  First wipe it off , then hose the rest and then clean it with soap.

I actually go and take a bum shower after the biz. Soap and water. Inconvenient but the best method by far.

I'm trying to imagine how one would get poo on their arm. But, yes, I agree that wiping with paper would not be sufficient.

They are legal in Australia if installed by a licenced plumber with correct backflow prevention.

Nothing alleged, over the years I've had a many leaks and a few burst.

Cheap Thai plumbing.
