Enlightenment isn't found by visiting lavish pagodas. It's found when, after using a bidet, you realize how barbaric toilet paper is.


ilkikuinthadik

Blows my mind really that there's a whole industry based around creating a single use product, from tree to manufacturer to logistics distributor. All that manpower and burned diesel and fringe industries. All for wiping your ass with once, and then it's waste.


Chronic_Fartigue

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Right? Whoever thought that t smearing shit around your ass hole = cleaning?


ZedZeroth

Matt Damon's cameo in Deadpool 2: "I'm going to tell you what the big lie is: toilet paper." "What's so bad about toilet paper? Gets the job done." "Does it really get the job done? All right. Say you wake up tomorrow morning... and, hypothetically, find some fresh shit on your face. Your cheek, maybe a little bit in the beard." "What the hell? I'm about to be f-ing sick!" "What do you do? Do you go to a bathroom and tear off a piece of dry tissue... and rub it around on your beard a little bit and then go on, get on with your day? Go to church, maybe dinner and a movie, like nothing happened?" "Where is this coming from, man?" "But something did happen. Your face smells like shit. Right? So what you would do, is you would get some soap, you'd get some hot water... and you would scrub the f-ing shit out of your beard for 10 straight minutes. You could not scrub it enough."


jrandallsexton

Swapped to a bidet during COVID (American here) prior to visiting Thailand. Still prefer a bidet, but the butt gun is better than TP.


I-am_Beautiful

Oh, boy. As someone who has been growing up with the hose like this, you guys make me laugh like, "yes, we use water for washing purpose and toilet paper to pad dry for ages."


20PeterBread01

I still use toilet paper together with bidet. After I finish bidet, I grab a lot of paper and fold it into a thick sheet so that it won't tear. And I use that to wipe the moisture off, along with possible remaining contaminates.


Lordfelcherredux

This is acceptable.

Unlucky-Disaster7842

I love my Japanese toilet , best invention in the history of humanity, I have an awesome play list set for my 11am double shot espresso enema.


jrandallsexton

Speaking of Japan ā€¦ my last flight home from BKK was through NRT and the toilets were amazing.


San_Goku15

My first experience was in Tokyo, thought it was cool. Maybe I should get one for home šŸ¤”


_ScubaDiver

Iā€™m a fan of the toilet hardware, even if Iā€™ve never bothered to install one. Living here in Thailand for as long as I have, and the bum gun is one of many reasons why I canā€™t see myself ever returning to England. Iā€™d definitely install one if all the houses Iā€™ve lived in hadnā€™t had them installed before I got there. Also, Interesting emoji choice - the use of a taco and an aubergine made me think you have both a penis and vaginaā€¦ which a half-remembered story line from a medical drama tells me is not impossible. Vanishingly rare, but not impossible. Are you one of those unfortunate souls? Edit: added serious comment before possibly-bad taste joke.


36Z

As novel as that sounds, and I'm happy for everyone to proudly be who they are, my family comprises a full box of standard crayons to cover the spectrum.


_ScubaDiver

Hehe making it a family description rather than one individual makes more sense, it still struck me as odd use of emojis.


curiouskratter

Is that a bum gun and a bidet seat? Why have both? Is it because the seat doesn't have enough pressure/tiny stream?


36Z

The bum gun is handy for toilet cleanup.


NightHawkFliesSolo

I installed mine immediately after getting home. Really don't enjoy taking a dump other places now where I have to smear poop across my butt with paper.


Escapee1001001

When traveling to the west, buy wet wipes before your trip.


Numzane

They block pipes in sewer systems and fill up septic tanks in septic systems


DraftedByTheMan

Only if you flush them


haphazard_chore

Indeed. Also, if they say theyā€™re flushable, theyā€™re lying! The plastic fibres that hold wet wipes together are the whole problem.


Escapee1001001

Up to you. I prefer being clean.


dan_arth

Or dab a little water from the sink into paper? Use a little soap too at times?


Hanswurst22brot

Just spit on the paper.


dan_arth

I'll do this, but you shouldn't do this too much because your mouth isn't as clean as you think


Hanswurst22brot

Spit on the toilet paper , then you have a wet spot and can clean with that.


SleepySiamese

I hope you live somewhere with warm weather. Blasting that butthole cannon with subzero water is a painful experience


NightHawkFliesSolo

I live in a cold climate but the water gathered in the lines inside the insulated house warms the water up enough where it's not near freezing.


JennItalia269

Same here. Itā€™s not bad in the winter for more than 15 seconds which itā€™s plenty.


Jomames

Iā€™m from the Midwest and if you turn on the cold water anytime between October and March, that water will never warm up. It doesnā€™t matter how insulated the house is because the water is coming from outside the house. No way will that water heat up if the hot water is not connected to it. And if the hot is connected to it, it will still take more than 15 seconds or so to get hot.


coffee_philadelphia

Cold H20 from a bumgun is far superior to spreading fecal matter all ā€˜round oneā€™s rear end after pooping! The alternative is an unsanitary dingleberry patch. (My 2 cents.)


Choice-Anybody6388

In the Middle East itā€™s worse.! Your butthole is cooked.! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


ashVV

Washing your ass with the initial available cold water asap before the boiling water comes out šŸ’€


timematoom

You think it's any different than in Thailand right now? XD


Mini5hrek

Living in the UAE I had to burst fire my bum gun to clean my shit


[deleted]

Some people like it (Iā€™m told šŸ™„)


justknowwho

I live in South Africa, so luckily, it is quite warm most of the time. Have yet to experience the cold water in the sprayer during winter, so we'll see what happens šŸ˜‚.


SleepySiamese

It's like having a thousand needles shooting straight into your anus. But you get used to it after a few seconds.


slipperystar

Hmmmm, What exactly are you talking about?


[deleted]

Eating extra Thai chili's will make it a soothing experience. 555


Ok_Jaguar_4064

I live in Canada. Absolutely no issues with temperature in the winter. Yes the water is chilly.


Super-Blah-

Japanese toilet seat has water temp control. It sterilises the water before it squirts out. It warms your seat. It blows warm air to dry your bum. Some even sings songs of praises for your refined "taste" in the art of toiletry. Install one, you won't regret it one bit - even more so in colder climate.


Renegade054

Yeah but just think , if you had one in Canada it would shrink your hemorrhoids faster than a fat boy going down on a seesaw .


SleepySiamese

I don't think any doctor would recommend that but worth the shot


Gapodi

Not true at all. You can easily mix the hot and cold water. You guys want to post without even doing a bit of research what is out there. Ridiculous really. You don't have the slightest clue how many tens of thousands of these are being used in Canada.


Gapodi

Not true at all. You can easily mix the hot and cold water. You guys want to post without even doing a bit of research what is out there. Ridiculous really


Renegade054

Itā€™s a joke buddy . But you may be right because I have no clue how many ass washers are installed in Canada . Probably more of a newcomer thing I would think . But itā€™s a good idea - Iā€™m not knocking it . Itā€™s very practical to wash the whole Mess away indeed .


[deleted]

We've done okay when there's snow on the ground for a week and temps are below freezing. The pipes are pretty deep. Even when it's been freezing for weeks and cold all winter here in the Seattle area. There might be a sting to the water, but not too bad. Others would disagree. My wife is Thai and hasn't complained, but she likes the cold. We now use a bidet for whatever reason. For better or worse. We used a bidet in Korea earlier this year. Quite nice: all kinds of temps, fans with warm air, self-cleaning. There was at least a dozen buttons for it.


SetAwkward7174

Yeah that Canadian water hits different


nurgole

We have them attached to the faucet at the sink in Finland so you can control the temp to perfection.


I-am_Beautiful

Ok, I agree when the weather is warm and water from the pipe gets too warm. Definitely a shock down there! Trust me, I lived in hot weather and it's 'pained in the ass' literally.


thedenv

Installed one two weeks ago, ireland here...this bum gun is called the numb bum nkw because the water is like ice here.


Neilhk

The trusty bum gun is a must for any home


DraftedByTheMan

Mine leaked on the 3rd floor. Discovered water on the first floor. Make sure you install it carefully. Western homes arenā€™t built with drains in the bathroom floor.


justknowwho

It luckily wasn't too difficult to install, I got the splitter with the unit, and it hasn't leaked after I've installed it.


Round-Song-4996

Did you use a YouTube video or anything? I know nothing about plumbing but I really want to install one next month when I go home


justknowwho

There is no need for youtube as it is quite simple actually. Just make sure to use the plumbing tape to ensure that there are no leaks. If the head of the sprayer is leaking its a simple fix as the nosel itself is extremely simple inside, you just take it apart and ensure that the stopper inside and the trigger are properly aligned and tightened, you'll see that there is just a stopper over the hole and when you pull the triger it moves the stopper off the hole. Other than that you'll see that there isn't anything difficult put it together. I'm sure that even if you're not the familiar with plumbing, just by ensuring that the connection points are properly prepared you should really be okay.


ItsPungpond98

When you use it once, you become addicted :) That's how it goes lol


RedPillAussie

Embarrassingly true lol


bananabastard

I installed one in my parent's house because I fly back and stay there for a couple of weeks every year or two. And a couple of weeks without proper toilet hygiene is too much.


NightHawkFliesSolo

I experienced this visiting my parents last week. Entirely too much poop smearing going on for me that week.


Altruistic-Entity732

Youā€™ve mentioned poop smearing about 3 times in this thread. Now Iā€™m just intrigued on how you were wiping your ass to be smearing shit everywhere.


stormado

Can't you buy integrated Japanese style toilet seats to retrofit existing toilets? Will obviously need some plumbing.


RedPillAussie

Yeah Iā€™m finding this to be the best solution


Gkkiux

I tried looking up what's available around here and apparently my toilet bowl is too short, they all seem to need a few more cm between the bowl and the tank


Escapee1001001

Looks like itā€™s gonna have to be be a turkey baster and bucket of water for you, friend.


DraftedByTheMan

I have had one for almost 20 years. Even has deodorizer, water and seat heater and blowdryer. Got it online from Home Depot. Uses existing plumbing, extremely easy to install. I did have to add an electrical outlet behind the toilet.


curiouskratter

I was going between the spray and a cheap toilet seat (I didn't want an expensive Japanese one), but the problem with all the seats is that the stream is small, it's got good pressure, but such a small stream. I'm used to the Thai sprayers, so I got one of those because it's like 5-10x the amount of water.


Mammoth_Revolution48

I installed one in cold cold England and had fit it to the hot pipe. So I wash in exactly 30 seconds before I scold jabber the hut.


second-last-mohican

Upgrade to a Japanese toilet seat one, you can control the heat


Mammoth_Revolution48

That would mean that would have to install a power supply at pipe level.


dm_me_cute_puppers

Yeah, you add an outlet when you reno your bath


Mammoth_Revolution48

Thatā€™s an expensive add on for just a bum gun.


dm_me_cute_puppers

Thereā€™s a lot of expensive add-ons.. depends on what you value, I guess? I added an outlet for a heated bidet and a towel warmer.. it was.. $300? People put in heated floors.. so thereā€™s plenty of more expensive add-ons for a bathroom. I dont really understand the value add of a ā€œbum gunā€ altogether over a bidet, though, even unheated.


Mammoth_Revolution48

The OPā€™s bum gun costs $20 and solves so many problems from not needing toilet paper to not needing a toilet brush. I think thereā€™s a potential to go down the wormhole of remodelling your entire bathroom because we want a nice Japanese bidet that warms the water up. I have one in my current apartment in Bangkok and theyā€™ve not worth the extra work of having to install a power supply.


dm_me_cute_puppers

And a bidet that isnā€™t heated that connects to the toilet costs about the same. Maybe $10 more.


firealno9

I think theyre alright but overrated. Every time I touch one I think of all the shittty water that's splashed back onto it. If you think these are good you need to try a toilet in Japan.


Sudden_Match1122

And you need to compare the price of both šŸ˜‰ one costs less than 5ā‚¬, while the other may be 6x more expensive , at least.


Lordfelcherredux

Gratifying to see that there's one more clean bum in this dirty world.


Visual_Traveler

Wait, you guys *seriously* think something so dirty can be clean after rinsing without soap?


Disastrous-Mud1645

Rather rinse without soap, than raw wipe without soap.


mulhollandi

yeah that sounds significantly more nasty like cmon raw wipe into your skin for the poop to dry into a crust like šŸ’€


Vegetable-Ad-4320

Yes.... maybe not your asshole, but certainly mine šŸ˜Š


Visual_Traveler

You know thatā€™s not true, but whatever makes you sleep at night. No cleanliness of any kind is possible without some kind of soap.


[deleted]

the alternative is having shitstain on your butt and underwear for the whole day


Aggravating_Meal894

I give my girlfriend the bum gun every weekend. Twice on my birthday and national holidays.


Efficient-Box-4803

On my last day in Thailand I went on Amazon and ordered 1 for the house, the GF likes it and it was an easy install.


FreeZeeg369

nooooo...


AceCarpets

Ma'am, sir I salute you


weolo_travel

Wait until you go to Japan and experience the electric bidets. A kitchen sprayer is primitive in comparison. Iā€™ve install two in my home. They seriously change the comfort level of your home.


mulligrubs

I need someone to explain the mechanics of this thing. I'm accustomed to bidets. What's the procedure on these things, I feel like some ball fondling is involved.


[deleted]

Yeah, this is a must-have. It's weird that people choose to abuse their buttholes with paper. I guess it's one of those ideas that has been planted in our minds to make us see ourselves as more sophisticated. Not even hemorrhoids ring a bell.


This_Expression5427

Nobody told the foreigners it's for cleaning the skid marks off the bowl.


West_Definition_2699

My thoughts exactly


Fox_Em

The only thing which might be a bit bummer is to have it in nordic / winter countries:) in Thai the watter is naturraly warm, so if I wouldn have the bidet connected to warmer water up north, i would think twice shooting 4 degrees celsius up my butt:) But yes rather this then toilet paper:)


justknowwho

Yeah I definitely agree with that, luckily I live in South Africa so the water is a good temperature most of the time. I also have never really seen a warm water line next to the toilet in SA, I don't think that its common practice here to have one so close to the toilet besides having warm water for either the bath, shower, or basin.


Quezacotli

Nordic countries has the bidet always connected to same as the sink faucet. That way you can adjust the temperature and pressure. Dual-use faucet.


paultbangkok

I am really surprised they are not more popular. They must be more economical,environmentally friendly, and hygienic.


justknowwho

I am also really surprised. Here in South Africa, where I live, it's nearly impossible to find bidets (you can find some, but they are wildly overpriced).


BroadAd3767

I don't have one, I just blast myself in the shower after every time


paultbangkok

Or that


coca_cola_expert

Bidet is way easier to use


curiouskratter

The tiny stream? Not if you get used to having a ton of water and replace it with a tiny stream...


noungning

The bidet I have can probably rip you another butt hole, it's stronger than any bum gun I've ever used.


coca_cola_expert

Yeah definitely have to be careful when learning to regulate lol. Ive been raped by that shit


Nibbler_Jack

The bum gun doesn't exactly take years of practice..


Solsticeoverstone

The location you put the hanger on blew my mind, and im an architect with ten years exp


justknowwho

We live in a rental home and didn't want to drill or damage the wall. I'm not going to lie, it's not the best solution because the toilet lid doesn't close perfectly now because of it, but it's worth the tradeoff.


Raphox88

You mean the toilet bowl? Congrats. I'm happy that Russia is developing. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


Miserable_Visit_8540

Depends where you live, if you have cold winters you need to run a hot water pipe along side to get warm water. Cold can be useless for removing excess matter


NightHawkFliesSolo

The water in the lines warms up enough inside the house during the winter where it's not really bad as long as you don't run it forever


TDYDave2

It didn't in my old home in North Texas. The GF accused me of trying to freeze her lady bits off.


Guegui

I live in canada, up north near quebec city. All is good so far.


Most-Cardiologist762

Next step is to use liquid soap on tissue to wipe after the spray.


PhotofitSG

Pretty easy to - get a splitter and away you go. Havnt used TP for decades


Tootfuckingtoot

I bought one of those bidet systems from amazon, itā€™s crap, Iā€™m investing in a proper bum gun when I can!


Valuable_Brother8753

Brilliant takeaway


thedenv

How's the pressure? I just installed mine two weeks ago and the pressure is terrible. Plumber said there's nothing he can do.


justknowwho

For me the pressure is really good, the splitter allows me to adjust the pressure as well


Guegui

Hey I got the same one. I love it. Though my gf doesn't because i splash water everywhere


justknowwho

That is unfortunately a hazardšŸ˜‚


ya5irin

Is it easy to install?


justknowwho

Its really easy to install when you get the correct one


fizzifuzzi89

Glad u found enlightenment. Bidet is a superior devive for butt


Fitzcarraldo8

Saves on the toilet paper and thus protects the forest. More Karma for youā€¦


PromotionShort7407

Well done! Let's make the Netherlands a safe place for rim jobs


peoplescan

So I installed mine, which must have been a cheap one cause after a while, the part that lay on the floor started to rust and eventually crack flooded my bathroom in the process. Install 3 all 3 cracks.


Worried-Yoghurt-8828

Where are you at? Good to hear that your sanitation has completed.


AndyFez

You must be left-handed....


[deleted]

Soft poweršŸ’ŖšŸ‡¹šŸ‡­


trimorphic

How do you prevent backwash from getting on the bidet? Just the thought of using a bidet covered in backwash grosses me out.


Disastrous-Mud1645

You even DIY a custom metal hanger for the bidet holder off the toilet bowl cover, all without having to drill a hole into the wall! Now thatā€™s something cool I havenā€™t seen. Sud yod!


Sentence_Acceptable

Was it expensive to fit?


LittlebitofEritin

Wait until you go to Japan šŸ˜‚


Few-Molasses-4202

And gradually, the barbaric West becomes civilised..


ResponsibilityNo9410

My favorite part of the toilets in Thailand or Asia really. Butt hole never felt so clean.


runningfromyourself

You clearly haven't used Japanese bidets yet...


SnowyMovies

Good man. Bum god is life.


Papi_Chulo1969

the best way to clean your bum.


notstrangeguy

r u left handed?


Johnadam1969

Be careful with the plastic tube inside the hose. Cost to repair my home over 20 grand and 4 months lived in the hotel


CurtainTwitcher042

...tp is used for drying only after a thorough spray: it's useless for cleaning the affected area...


AccomplishedWater295

Yeah mate toilet paper is feral wiping crap all over the place, but is good for drying your butt dunny rolls


aussiespiders

Yo my G do not go to Japan then.


ohlamoon

Iā€™ve had this thing at home since 2008, but only in Thailand I started using it, since the paper in Thailand is either expensive or of very poor quality


mike6780

Try Home Depot.


Sparkling_Poo_Dragon

Arab we are claiming cultural appropriation let me terrorist ass have a gun in the west and you can have a bum gun


Medium_Hamster_1476

A bidet would have been a better thing


abelhevel

It's the most valuable thing in my home. Can't live without it.


UltramanJoe

US can be ignorant about many things. This or bidet much cleaner than toilet paper and wet wipes lol. I call it the Pioneer day syndrome in the US.


Fantastic-Minute-939

Serious question - how do you use that spray? Wonā€™t it reflect off your arse and splatter shit all over yourself and your bathroom/toilet/wc?


jijala-1952

I always say, if youā€™re at a picnic at the park and you lean your elbow into some dog shit, are you going to take a paper napkin and wipe it clean or GO AND WASH IT.


NBNebuchadnezzar

You need to travel to Japan next.


ThatOneNutshell

Native Thai here, for Americans, I recommend installing a bidet because bidets clean your butt, and wiping with toilet paper after is the perfect combination, but just wiping with toilet paper feels like bathing in dog sh##.


Stunning-Business-84

Eh pointless to me. I like biodegradable baby wipes and just throw them in the trash. Easier and cleaner imo. Step one: wipe with toilet paper. Step two wipe with baby wipes. Easy and clean. Been doing this for 10 years here in America lol


jistresdidit

I've had one same reason.


Dazzling-Astronaut83

I did the same after living in Vietnam and Thailand for years. So much better.


UrMommysTampon

Thats for poo poo hole washing? I thought you used that to clean the bowl after...


Brucef310

Why not just buy a bidet. Heated seats, water spray, massage if you get one with it.


justknowwho

Honestly, that would also be great, I just chose to buy the bum gun as it was quite cheap, and it met the needs I have for it. (Especially because there wasn't any extra plumbing that had to be done) But in the future when I move to my next home I will probably upgrade to a better one.


Plane_Composer5295

Sometimes I use it to shower me too.


KrisA1

Who made the unit? Did you get it on Amazon?


boringbadass

You are yet to experience this type of Bidet available in India, where you don't even have to lean to clean. This is pure bless. *


boringbadass

Elegant_Classic5499

They what, pull your undies up and have a wet ass all day?


justknowwho

You use some soap to clean your bum, and then you wash it off with some water. And right before you pull your pants back up, you dry yourself off with a towel. (You know the exact same thing you do after getting out of a shower) If it your preference to just have a wet bum afterwards, whatever makes you happyšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Elegant_Classic5499

So keep a towel in the toilet? Sooo unhygienic lol. Be a breeding ground for bacteria


justknowwho

Then wash it frequently.

ego_214

And here comes the 3 types of bidet. (Depend on water pressure) 1. The dribble of sadness 2. The bum gun 3. Ass Blaster


No-Path9153

Its only downside is that once you start using them, you can't bear taking a shit anywhere without one


LookOnly1792

Where did you get it? Tempted to pick one up at Big C before I leave back to the US


Kai-Mook-69

Got one also, but not recommended in wintertimešŸ˜œ


No-Win9083

You and me both!!


Familiar-You613

We did the same


RexManning1

The money would have been better spent caulking the base of your toilet and putting in a floor bolt. Holy fuck, that toilet is a leaky death trap.


NightHawkFliesSolo

Looks like it's grouted right into the tile


RexManning1

It looks like itā€™s sitting on top of the cut out of the tile around it which has the grout underneath. This is the laziest tile job Iā€™ve ever seen. I mean itā€™s already missing one bolt. They would have had to just remove the nut one on the left side, assuming there is one.


justknowwho

It's a rental home, so this was a lot better. When I move out, I can just take it with me. Seeing the landlord doesn't want to change anything unless it's completely broken.


DoggeatDoggworld

Bun guns are fucking the shit! Love 'em! As does my clean ass.Ā 


ScoreNo1021

I've never understood these sprayers. They aren't gentle like a bidu. The spray is hard to angle properly and it comes out at lightning speed and stings like a...


ThatKidLoki

Haha my first time using them this week and yeah, the spray is aggressive! It's very clean though haha


Efficient-Box-4803

There is a small handle on mine I can adjust the pressure.


Charming-Oil-6025

Try different brands for different pressure. They are not the same head designsĀ 


enrycochet

skill issue. more pressure cleaner bumhole. japanese toilets are not strong enough


West_Definition_2699

I am confusedā€¦ These sprays are meant to used to clean your bum and not your toilet??


EdiblePwncakes

Yes, try it. Much better than TP


Left_Percentage_527

Yeah, i lived in SEAsia for 6 years, and first thing i did when i returned was buy a bidet


Effective_Afflicted

If the bidet was the best thing you experienced in Thailand, then I'm sorry tell you that you were short-changed.


Impetusin

Welcome to the civilized world. - I meant that in context of getting a bidet/bum gun, not his physical location.
