I thought the sprayer was for cleaning the toilet but now i found that Thais have a little secret that they don't tell you, they use the sprayer to clean their anus. So when it sprays, do chunks of <deleted> get splashed around all over the toilet area? Is that sanitary?

First bum gun thread of the new year!

Congratulations.

Post back if you figure out how to make it work without drenched pants or real smelly fingers.

I've concluded that (in spite of hundreds of posts to the contrary), bum guns are a simple acknowledgement that toilet paper costs money and water doesn't.

You can also use it to wash your hair and top up your water bottle.

Keep the pressure down to avoid involuntary enemas, and yes, it's far, far cleaner than smearing the carp all around with paper.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong, you are turning the water on before you wipe

So how does it work? You spray your anus without using toilet paper? Do thais use their fingers to "clean" the anus by rubbing or scrubbing? If so, how do they clean their fingers when 90% of the time, there is no soap and no toilet paper in the restroom? Do they just rinse their finger really well? They once outside, they get some sticky rice, form it into a ball, then give it to their hubby to eat? Do Thais even think about the spread of bacteria? Or is it, "mai pen rai", don't think about it?

Just kindly mention to the lady in charge of the restrooms that you have no intention to use the bum gun.

She will only charge you one baht and fifty satang instead of the usual three baht rip off...

You've all got it wrong. It's for girls to get off when they're not getting enough.

is it a 22 or a 45 gun ,

Many restrooms do not have anyone to buy paper, let alone soap!

Unbelievable.....1st of January too...

This has to be an all time record for the BUM GUN Topic.

There is no need to use your other hand to polish off. If your diet had enough fibre, you can taper the waste off to a point and just use the gun to rinse. Just dab with paper to dry. Then you can use the gun to rinse your mouth after cleaning your teeth.

I think it is alot more sanitary to use toilet paper to wipe off and drop paper in the toilet. Somehow, spraying feces infected water droplets all over the toilet area does not sound sanitary. Washing your

Bum guns are brilliant. Nice and clean with no more skid marks.

You wouldn't just wipe crap off your hands with paper would you? No you would wash it off. Same same for your hoop.

A serious answer first.

Yes you spray without using toilet paper, the spray cleans far better than paper and there is no chance of fingers going through the paper.

Unlike using paper there is no need to get fingers of hands involved at all, other than holding the spray gun.

Most public toilets have at least hand basins and many liquid soap as well.

Now we get a little less serious.

How do you think the rice gets sticky ? Of course they don't wash their hands but it does however need a combination of bum wiping and nose picking to get the correct consistency.

Bon apatite.

Nope. This qualifies as TMI, but I just take a shower each time.

Win-win in the BKK heat.

I go full on up the clacker.

Daily enema.

Great stuff, really cleans the sh1ht out of you.

A genuine newcomer to Thailand, welcome and enjoy the delights of Thailand's most famous invention.

They're not just popular in Thailand. Many Finnish toilets have them too, just to mention one. I remember sharing an office in Boston with a Japanese and a Bangladeshi and we all agreed we missed having it, in one form or another. When I don't have it, I use wet wipes because dry paper just doesn't feel clean.

No, no, no!

That thing is for short Thai people to take a shower with!

They have started selling them in US hardware stores. The politically correct term is hand-held bidet. So, stop calling them bum guns.

I have terrible aim with those things. Can never hit it, end up like blasting my nuts, cheeks, gooch, everything except my arse.

I would Kimberly Clark and the rest of the toilet paper industry will successfully bum guns taking off in the west. Shame as they are so much more hygienic than smearing faeces onto thin paper.

My wife always says to me 'dont put tissue down the toilet' I just nod, but really, where else should I put it?

Anyway those sprayers work but you always end up with a wet ass.

Toilet paper is only used to clean my mouth or nose these days.

The bottom side is cleaned by the spray gun, and as I was in my home country for 2 weeks last month I can assure you, I can't live without it anymore.

Yes friends it's going to be another exciting year on TV.

In the bin next to the toilet if you must.

Nah your alrite, Ill put bog roll down the bog where its supposed to go.

You have to watch out. I sprayed my ring once and a piece of <deleted> landed on the back of my shorts and i didnt know until after i sat down on a couch with 5 other people who couldnt help but notice the smell. I stood up and everyone saw the <deleted> stain on the couch. Very funny but embarassing.
