News Forum - Bum Gun vs Toilet Paper, which is better for your butt?

[Thaiger]

Life’s important questions… Is there a God, Honda vs Toyota, bum-guns (aka. arse-blasters) vs toilet paper. It’s a cultural shock either way. If you’re an Asian travelling to the west you may be left pondering what happened to the water gun, usually found casually hanging on the wall next to the toilet. Or if you’re a westerner heading to Asia, you’ll wonder what in earth that water gun is. In the west they not only use toilet paper exclusively, it’s often patterned (why?!). Asian people, generally, have been happily washing their nether regions after Number 1s (ladies) and Number 2s […]

    Bum gun followed by scented wet wipes for that fresh smell and finished off with toilet paper for dryness.  Feels good man.

You seem a bit anal about it ;-) I water blast and and leave it to drip dry.

I would have to agree. Interesting name for it, though. In Indonesia, the common term is a*** blaster

Toilet paper using baby lotion, comes out smelling like a new born baby.

After 10 years in SE Asia and after several early attempts to master the bum gun, I have given up as I seem incapable of mastering the different water pressures of the guns, especially those in public toilets which vary from the trickle from an old mans bladder, to the high setting of a Kaarcher pressure washer.

I find just a little more pressure than needed results in an embarrasing, multi-directional splatter-bottom.

I installed japanese bidet toilet seats at home instead. As much as I would never go back to TP, the bum gun can be somewhat of a songkran experience.

Anything that can be used as a water canon againgst unruly neighbours will not be used on or around any sensitive areas of my derriere. I have used my butt gun in the past to cut through quarter inch steel.

When using unknown bum stun guns aim downwards into your butt crack, not upwards unless a surprise enema appeals to you. Each to their own.

The gun  . No license required!

Really? I think that this question is answered by the first try to flush any middle body part with water that is NOT 25-30 degree warm! No Asian would use the gun a second time (neither would any westerner), in case it is freezer cold!

And bum-gun? Arse-blaster? Alone by the frequency of the usage, it is really a pussy-shower!

Ahhh...what one has to do, apparently, is to use a small circular motion around the...errmm...starfish, thereby eliminating a lavage suprise.

What he said, AND don’t open the hand valve all the way. Takes some practice, but a chimp could do it.

My mind keeps thinking about drip coffee when you mention that

Sounds a bit like a porno series though

Baby lotion? Seriously? I'm surprised there's no mention of mint drops or mouth spray yet

Have to agree with this though, some of them looks powerful enough to scrap paint off a car

Now this is good the Japanese bidet seats. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this though but my experience of using Japanese bidet seats has lead to some unwanted arousals due to the fact that the water spray from those seats tend to be lower volume but higher intensity leading to a needle sized high pressure jet of water caressing the tender tissues of my bum

Both of the toilets in my place (in Osaka) have Japanese bidets. I’ve only used the fancy functions with one of them (once) because I felt rather violated by the experience. It kind of makes me a tad suspicious of any house guests who go to the toilet a lot

When entering the facility one should always test the pressure of said gun before you start that way any pressure adjustment can be made in advance of pointing the gun on yourself. Then you simply perform your necessities and wash up without fear...

Water by far is my choice. Everytime I visit the USA now I end up having a raw rear-end experience that can be quite painful. After that happens then the lotion comes out and then it is only a matter of time to wait fro the calluses to appear before the pain goes away. And in my opinion if I have to have calluses formed then I've been in the US already too long and it's time to go back home.

You're not supposed to use sandpaper!

[vvdb.fr]

after using the gun, I use more paper to dry the area !

It would take a tutorial to understand how to do it without getting water everywhere...

is the gun clean and does not carry germs?

The valve on ours also feeds the cistern, so reducing the bum gun pressure makes it take ages to fill the cistern.
Do you have the phone number of a chimp who could replace the single valve with two independent ones?

Why not, for the more stubborn areas I use a Black and Decker 4" angle grinder, it reaches the areas that other grinders just cannot reach.

As someone who spends a lot of time in Asia and the UK, 100% without doubt I prefer the bum gun. That said, such a simple attachment in the UK simply wouldn’t work in the winter time. Water temperature is close to freezing and would be very uncomfortable. It would require thermostatic mixer taps or some other form of heating. 
 

One thing I have noticed is that the more up market establishments are removing bum guns. I notice most Central Plaza’s don’t have them anymore. That then becomes a real problem as the locals still think you can’t flush the used toilet paper and put it in the bin! Some disgusting sights result.

'lavage suprise' is that some sort of dessert with cream?

After getting used to it in Asia, I installed a "handheld bidet hose" as it's known here in UK. I'm also content with drip dry - bit of clean water won't worry clothes or me.
