Thread: Could you go back to wiping your arse with tissue paper?

I had a few weeks without a bum-gun in my new place. Bladdy horrible it was.

Definitely would not want to be without a bum gin.

^ You guys have to much time on your hands...

NEVER going back to tissue paper, bum gun all the way!

I've wiped my arse the same way sice I was old enough to do it myself see no reason to change now . Just use more paper .

bum guns get youir ase clean, but smell your fingers after ... at least with tissue it only goes around your arse, and not your hands too.

British people fold their toilet paper - which means that the bog roll has to dissolve quickly. Americans scrunch their paper, so it does not have to dissolve so fast - meaning there are different required specs for the dissolution of bog roll in siad countries. Thai's never figured this, and use tissue to wipe surfaces etc... it is not just low quality paper, it is designed to break up rapidly, unlike napkin/paper towels.

I know you know this one ....

What do bog roll and the starship Enterprise have in common ?

Both get rid of Klingons?

Bum guns are Thailand's one great gift to civilization. I'd never go back to plain TP!

From listening to these conversations, it always amazes me that there are apparently so many westerners who were never taught how to wipe their arses properly when they were kids.

After approx. 20 years of using water, no way would I go back to TP.

I hate bum guns.

And then you'll never want to use paper again.

I left Thailand in 2004.

And moved to Guatemala.

Where the poor use buckets of water (like many Thai places) and the wealthier use loo roll.

The sewage system of Guatemala is iffy at best.

Why they don't use water/bum guns is beyond me.
It's cleaner, and less damaging to the sewage system/environment.

And now I've been back in the UK for ten months, I think exactly the same thing.

I want a Bum Gun.

Instead, I try to time my daily excretion to happen just before I immediately hop into my daily shower. a sort of extra large, nice warm Bum Gun.

I never could.

I used it while it was there, but wouldn't want to use another.

well, they circle round Ur-anus and wipe out Klingons.

We were poor when I was young and used old corn cobs. The Truscott's down the lane were even poorer than us -- they had a corncob on a string nailed to the outhouse door.

I don't think Thais have the market cornered on bum guns -- Japs have 'em too.

Me go back? nevah.

^ We used old Sears catalogues at Granma's. You flicked through a few pages and ripped one out to use.
I was thinking of getting a bum gun here, but as noted above re the UK installation, Canadian winter water is icy cold. Wouldn't work on the hot water tap either, coz then you'd fry your butt. But, I do love them.

How do you use the bum gun? do you use then pull up trousers with a wet behind, or is that what the toilet roll is for? I have two in our house but they have never been used by me.

That's what I never got the hang of.

How do you dry your arse afterwards? Seems to me, you have to use the bog roll to dry it, so you may as well just have used it in the first place.

As a rinse after brushing your teeth.

Not that hard to figure out really, spray it off, pat it dry.

All you lot have got hemroids

Hemorroids are rather painful. A bum gun clean and a quick push back up is your best bet. No TP involved .
