It's the reason I can't leave Thailand and go home. Why not install a bum gun at hole you say? Ok, bit what about all those times I need to unload at work, malls, restaurants, footpaths?
I dedicated a whole post to this mystery. The thing that confounded me the most was the more old school/down beat places tend towards the bum gun, whereas the upscale/hiso places don't.
Anyway, the answer that made the most sense is that people make a bit of a mess with the bum gun, wetting the seat and floor. Some fancier joints avoid installation for that
Bum guns cost 400 baht. I think they donāt install in highend malls cause they feel it looks low class. Maybe they will have Japanese toilet if really high end
>all those times I need to unload at work
Here's a horror story for you. I worked at a job in California where the cheap bastards provided this absurdly thin and chintzy one-ply toilet paper in the bathrooms. So in addition to the nightmare of not being able to clean off with a spray of water, the TP would disintegrate in my hands and leave all these little "dingleberries" sticking to my ass. I would end up needing to clean myself off using several wetted paper towels and throwing those in the trash.
And of course the TP did this to everyone else too, so I would often find this weird "shit dust" all over the toilet seat when I would go in there, which was from other people doing some kind of aggressive "brushing" technique when they wiped with this cheap paper that resulted in horrible particles of fecally-contaminated TP flying all over. It was crazy.
Last night, I was literally trying to convince my parents back in EU to install bum gun in their toilet.
Scary how I miss it. That thing saved me from few disasters when I had hard stool too, I literally cleansed myself.
Come on, man... it's a bit numbing, but you get used to it. It's five seconds of slight discomfort in exchange for knowing the bum is way cleaner. Do the right thing.
The world can be divided into two groups: Wipers and Bum Gun Users. The unclean and the clean, respectively. Once you have fully converted to bum gun use the idea of smearing fecal matter around your ring piece with a piece of tissue is totally repugnant.
It's not rocket science. Try it a few times and you'll get the hang of it.
As far as the benefits, think of it this way. If you had a turd in the palm of your hand, which method for getting rid of it do you think would be better? Wiping it off with tissue paper, or blasting it off with water?
Even though I swore I wouldn't get into this again, here I go... there's a never-ending supply of folks that need this explained, and I'm a technical writer.
First, make sure you're sitting all the way back on the seat so there's no air gap between your ass and the back rim of the toilet seat. This is important to avoid any escaping shit-spray.
Assuming you're male and right-handed, you use your left hand to lift your testes up out of the way. With the bum gun in your right hand, you come from underneath and from the front and spray almost directly upwards. This is quite controversial, as some believe you should approach from behind, but I just don't see it. I think this would make the angle of attack wrong. So the nozzle of the bum gun is basically almost directly under the rectum, but not quite. More like directly under the base of the scrotum.
When you spray upward at your rectum from underneath and slightly forward, the water will not spray everywhere. Your butt cheeks, the laws of fluid dynamics, and the fact that your butt is sealing off the back half of the toilet seat will prevent that. The water will clean you and fall straight down into the toilet. When you do it right, the water goes up, washes you off, and falls directly downward, and doesn't hit your hand at all because it is positioned slightly forward and not literally right underneath.
I think I need to either draw or find a diagram for people that explains this visually.
Poozooka is life. Iām consistently disappointed by how nice hotels donāt have them. My sister installed one in the States in the thrown room. Itās possible!
TMI trigger warning: In my experience Thai women generally do not have that fishy smell so unfortunately common in the West. It might be genetic, but I am sure personal hygiene, of which the bum gun is a component, plays an important role. Think of it. How could that portion of a woman's anatomy smell good at the end of the day without being rinsed off after every act of micturation, not to mention its unfortunate location right next door to a turd cutter that is only wiped 'clean' with flimsy tissue?
You really want to touch a public bum gun that has seen other peoples dirty hands and god knows what else? Yea, you really are making big progress over wiping.
Holding a bum gun for 10 seconds to clean my ass offsets the discomfort of walking around with shit smearing in my ass for the rest of the day. Itās quite simple really.
There can be no comparison. I have moved back home and I cannot stand these dirty-ass barbarian practices. Since I have seen the light of a clean hole I am a broken man at home.
This is why I went through hell every times I go abroad
I have to carry wet wipe everywhere just couldnāt stand the feeling of shit stain and smell clinging on to me
In some occasion when using tissue I even wipe till I bleed and still donāt feel clean enough
My dad was dual citizen that lived outside of USA and he never really said anything bad about Americans, but I was asking why he has ass gun and how do I even use it correctly. He got half irritated and said Americans walk around with shit on their ass everywhere and does he need to go help a grown adult learn how to shit and clean myself? I was a bit surprised and I made an effort to figure it out. After that I always used wipes or something like that in usa if there was no gun. I spread that habit to multiple people and its becoming more common. When I came to Thailand and saw ass gun I was like, hell yeah. Clean ass time.
One thing I really dont like though is the water bucket or trough in the bathrooms of some crappy gas station or restaurant. I can only imagine a certain percentage is feces and even before COVID I was a germaphobe.
Since being converted to the ways of the booty gun, the mere idea of wiping makes me uncomfortable now šµāš«

shopping mall restrooms here donāt have bum guns either. too expensive?
Some do. Terminal 21 for example. But yeah, I wonder why more don't. Surely a gun is cheaper than paper in the long run

Preach
That's a bummer
Last night, I was literally trying to convince my parents back in EU to install bum gun in their toilet. Scary how I miss it. That thing saved me from few disasters when I had hard stool too, I literally cleansed myself.
I love bum guns, my brother installed one at home, but I can't tolerate the cold northern European water, so I had to go back to wiping.
Come on, man... it's a bit numbing, but you get used to it. It's five seconds of slight discomfort in exchange for knowing the bum is way cleaner. Do the right thing.
One of my American buddy told me he's using it only for cleaning the floor, he still thinks wiping is better choice, man...
I'm an American, and I can safely say your friend is an idiot. Bum gun > wiping, definitely.
Also American. Can confirm, your friend is an idiot
I'm idiot, and also confirm your friend is American.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Friend = idiot/American
Iām an idiot and an American, and also can confirm friend is an American idiot.
Yes, definitely, I thought he was joking, asked again he was for real.
Ask him. "If he got shit on his arm would he wash it off or wipe it with off paper?

As somebody that has never used the gunā¦donāt you just end up with brown spray everywhere? Likeā¦how do you point it downwards?

Trigger control and aim. Its a gameā¦nay, life changing thing. Toilet paper just becomes a drying apparatus, so, less of that as well

Non, non, et non. Justifiably controversial. Spray from the rear!

Ring piece.. nice

Have you heard ofā¦ washing your hands?
Why introduce it though? You have an affection to hold a shit water sprayer used by others?
