A Simple Guide On Using A Handheld Bidet Sprayer Or Bum Gun

I think I will just continue using my baby wipes. I don’t fancy touching a bum gun that’s probably had someone else shit on it. Disgusting! Requires Learning – If you are not from a country that uses the bum gun it takes time to learn how to use it properly and to get comfortable using it.

Try it in your hotel first. You may find that using it elsewhere then washing your hands is a reasonable compromise.

How to Use the Bum-Gun (Toilet Hose) in Thailand: Keep

Any posts or topics which the moderation team deems to be rumours/speculatiom, conspiracy theory, scaremongering, deliberately misleading or has been posted to deliberately distort information will be removed - as will BMs repeatedly doing so. Existing rules also apply. The bidet toilet seat gun is a fantastic invention. In addition to being functional, smart, and classy, these bum guns are also streamlined. This is especially true for the electric toilet seats. While they’re designed to fit any existing toilet seat, these nifty inventions are also low-profile and streamlined.It is a wonderful invention as, unlike in the US and England, where we tend to just wipe around with some toilet paper, smearing urine and feces all over our delicate private area, in Thailand Thai men and women use the bum gun. While sitting on the toilet and you have finished your business. Get the bum gun with your right hand and put it between your legs and aim it toward your butt. Another kind of compromise is giving people an option. Facilities in certain countries provide both seated and squat toilets. As Othman says of his home country of Malaysia, “In retail and shopping areas, they normally will allocate 1/3 or the available public toilets as squatting toilets.” His research suggests that Muslim Australians are comfortable with switching from squat to seated toilets – but that they retain a preference for water over toilet paper.

Shower Fresh Clean After Every Poop | The Bum Gun Bidet Sprayers

After eight months in South-East Asia it was inevitable that we would end up using that weird hose sitting behind the toilet in every public and private bathroom. The bidet spray or as plumbers have affectionately renamed it, The Bum Gun is the last, but by no means the least, bidet option I’ll cover. The bidet spray is a hand-held option that is designed to shower your nether regions after using the toilet. Same, same but different. This bidet option was reportedly invented by a person of Thai descent who lived in the US and is widely used across Asia. It is the most basic of all 3 bidet options but there still are a number of great things to highlight. When installed correctly by a licensed plumber, you can still have warm and cold-water options, and due to its compact nature, you don’t need any extra space to accommodate it in your bathroom. It simply appears as an accessory next to your existing toilet. It is a modest yet functional bidet option. People who use these also report that they do the job nicely. Think a bidet is something unnecessary dreamt up by posh rich people who just don’t want to wipe their bums? Some bum guns have very high pressure and you could, literally, just about shoot yourself off the toilet seat if you use it with too much force.

I've always wondered why many people are afraid of diarrhea when they drink germ-laden Thai tap water and then fill it directly into their intestines 🙂 Hey Janice, good point. But I guess it’s just so hot in SE Asia so basically your butt dries almost instantly. When they do, most of them move through a self-cleaning chamber, which sterilizes and washes the nozzle to get rid of any bacteria that may be present. Additionally, most nozzles are made from stainless steel, and some even feature a twist-off portion, which you can toss in the dishwasher for extra cleaning. Good hygiene, on the other hand, makes you come off as a capable person with self-worth and self-confidence. Good personal hygiene also helps you stay healthy, clean-looking and attractive.

Today, this irresistible device will change your life forever. This is one of those rare products which will change a generation. Much like the microwave oven, the mobile phone, and the indoor toilet, THE BUM GUN BIDET SPRAYER WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I've seen that too. Various solutions exist, experiment with aim, try pressing the handle down part way etc. Some bum guns have a separate shut-off valve that might be usable to adjust the pressure. Not that you're going to want to do that in some grody Thai beerbar toilet I realize!The toilet hose or bum gun in Thailand really is brilliant but, if you haven’t been faced with one before, how do you use it?
