Scrubber Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ...is the jet wash attachment on toilets. Any idea why we don't have them back in the west? Don't mention bidets - they're nowhere near as good. Every time I go back to England, the first few times I go to the toilet I find myself reaching back for the jet wash. When I realise there isn't one, I always ask myelf "Why don't we have those here?" I'm sure someone could make a few quid with these over in the west.

submaniac Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) I like pancakes. P.S. Scrubber, did you by chance choose your screen name based upon your love of Thai toilet accessories? Edited January 27, 2010 by submaniac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popshirt Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 hmmm.......didn't know it was called jet wash, we call it The Bum Gun. But I agree it is in the top ten best things about Thailand, they are now installed in my US home and I take 3 or 4 high end ones (excuse) with me twice a year when I travel back and my friends love them, so efficient, sanitary and, well, it really kind of perks you up as well.

Loz Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Perks you up? check your water pressure.... Best thing about Thailand? "Mai pen 'rai" and, "Sabai Sabai" oh, and Korean ladies come here to play Golf :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyride Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Might of course have something to do with temperature. Spraying your botty when the ambient temperature is 30C is a bit different to what it would be at home. What is the temp out of a UK cold water tap? Brrr.

sk1max Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Or you could just drag the hose pipe in from the garden and take care of business, that is if regular TP isn't enough to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardback Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I love the bum gun..but for me the best thing about Thailand (or at least BKK) is great cheap food everywhere all the time....I had a massive waffle today for 25baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 and, well, it really kind of perks you up as well. Especially if the water is icy cold like it is in Canada. You DO have to adjust the power of the spray, though. It almost blew my nuts off the first time I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumball Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Those bum-guns are a fixture in many North American kitchens , they are retractable and are used for washing vegetables etc , if I remember correctly , some-one brought that idea with them many years ago and that is how they first appeared here . Yes , the water back home is far to cold for a bum wash , comes out of the tap somewhere around 40 degrees Faranheit , your 'Bits would curl up and dissapear to warmer climes . 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ...is the jet wash attachment on toilets. I concur. I'll nip my cheeks and hold on waiting to get to a place that has a bum gun rather than tissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawthorne Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I love the spray!!! To think the US tries to have such good hygiene and every time they go to the bathroom they just smear crap over their <deleted>. <deleted>? I told my wife how much I enjoyed it. She was shocked when I told her our houses back home did not have those. She was grossed out. I really like the toilets at some of the high end hotels that have the heated seats with three adjustable angle sprays built into the seat. Using the toilet spray at work can not be hygiene either. The seat sprays are more hygiene for semi or public bathrooms. I do not live in Thiland but in the Middleast has them everywhere but darn if I can get use to the Eastern toilet. That squat thing and the smell is hard to get use to. So why are most Eastern Toilets built without a trap? I have seen very few with one which eliminates the smells. SO much for toilet talk.

You DO have to adjust the power of the spray, though. It almost blew my nuts off the first time I tried it. The trick is to buy a temporay shower (not sure of common name) that uses a plunger to attach to the tap..I used it in the UK so had hot and cold water running into the pipe and simply replaced the shower head with the bum gun... nice warm danglies in the Winter...

bkkjames Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Those lil bum guns were in fact not designed for that use (think cleaning the bathroom made easier). It was all a big mistake when the first one was introduced in Asia. It caught on. Word spread. So did the fecal matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
