Popular Post eeeya Posted January 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2013 Back in Australia for a month of work and just used the bog. I've come to the conclusion that toilet paper is crap. All it does is smear sh!t all over my ass and I walk away feeling disgusted with myself and lack of personal hygene. Where are you bum gun. I miss you. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman77 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Why the toilet paper in Thailand is so thin comparing to other country's? Make it like the football star bring your own paper! Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app The thai version of toilet paper is thin because its primary use is to dab dry the area after using the bum gun. Its not designed to scrape muck away like the thicker western toilet paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygreg44 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 what a backward topic ! However, I agree with most here, the hygiene a bum gun delivers makes it first choice over any smearing toilet paper. And it helps saving trees and reduces cost & installment of wastewater plants. Bum guns should receive much more attention in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Depends on the brand you buy. I've found Zilk is about the best, the other brands you have to fold 10 times otherwise you get finger penetration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuky Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Absolutely totally 100% agree with the OP. I too am back in a Western country after 15 years away, toilet paper ias the absolute worst part of it, even harder to deal with than the high tax/rent/cost of living in general. Toilet paper, why? or better still how? At every place that I might need to go I keep a supply of WetOnes of the flushable variety, it is a compromise I know but beats the sh1t out of dry dunny roll. My missus keeps a mini watering can next to the loo. Spent the last 2 years in Korea where the best toilet I have ever used is. Heated seat, auto water witha boy/girl setting and a blow dryer. Pure heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeeya Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Some of the middle eastern guys i live with like to keep a water bottle next to the toilet.

eeeya Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Me and the Mrs went for a holiday in japan. Mrs went to the bathroom in our hotel room and after a few minutes screamed. I ran in to see what the problem was and she was standing next to the electric japanese style super toilet and there was an arc of water spraying from the bowl. I gathered it had started its "bum washing cycle" but the Mrs wasn't having any of it and jumped off. I guess she prefers manual operation rather than fully automatic Edited January 21, 2013 by eeeya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabianfred Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Western, high society toilet So, i think rich people shit together I think one of them is what they call a bidet. I always used to think it funny when hearing about japanese toilets with water spray....before I came to Thailand. Now I never use toilet paper anymore. When back in the UK or in places where there is no gun....... I simply flush the toilet.....then dip my hand into the water and wash my bum....several flushes if you want. Haven't you noticed that using your hand and water to clean yourself is far more hygenic...and cheaper....and wastes less trees. It also makes you less forgetful about washing your hands after. Also you don't see many Thais biting their fingernails like Western people do..... I wonder why....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeeya Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I like the bum gun with its ease of use. Even using an un familiar bum gun on a new location, all it takes is a quick test shot to evaluate the pressure on hand and throttling capability of the hand piece. I do struggle with the "bin full of water and dog bowl" ass washing system. Do go front or back? with a hand dip method? should I flick the bowl at my ass to achieve a similar hydrostatic effect of the bum gun? I've tried many variety of techniques, each beginning with the " pants removal" approach. Maybe I could invent a portable, hand operated bilge pump. You just take it to your desired location, place pump in water bin and pump away simulating a regular toilet gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
