All you need is a T junction on the inlet pipe to the cistern and you're good to go. I know some people will throw their hands up in horror, but in actual fact once you get used to the knack of using one - PM me if you want the key tips - they're far more hygienic, and way more comfortable than using paper. I dont' know anyone who has made the switch who would ever go back. hello, yes have used those many times in parts of Thailand and China, in China the building with ???? small appartment did not even have toilets, oh and those spray gadgets were fitted to the cold tap🤬 Edited March 19, 2020 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you install it - put a variable tap between the main water pressure and the hose fitting. You don't want to give yourself an involuntary enema. Turn the tap down until you get a steady but not massive flow. Once youve got it right you just leave it alone. And here's how you use the thing. 1) You're sitting on the pan and you finish doing your business. 2) take the hose out of its fitting with your right hand. 3) put your left hand down into the pan in front of your nether regions....and here comes the crucial part 4 wet your left hand thoroughly with a good long jet from the hose. If you have a 'wet' bathroom you can do this outside the pan. 5) At this point I turn the 'gun' around in my right hand and reach behind me to go in from the back and my left hand comes in from the front. 6) Direct the spray at your ring. And while you do that, you help clean your ring with your left hand. if you say this to people they go 'Phew!'. but actually what happens is that when you wet your left hand you put a seal of water between your skin and anything your fingers come into contact with. And it absolutely works. When you finish, if you have a tentative sniff at your left hand ( I know - a bit too much information) you'll find that all you can smell is the chlorine in the water supply. Wash your hands afterwards, and voila. Skid marks a thing of the past. The key though is to make sure that your left hand is wet before you start exploring. If you forget that part, you'll be scrubbing your hand for ages. But if your hand is wet, it's like wearing a glove. Anyway, possibly too much info, but if I ever moved back to the UK, the absolute first thing I'd do would be to install a hose and gun. Once you've got used to it, using paper is anathema. Paper, horrible messy stuff that hurts. And it's near impossible to get a proper finished job with it. No, the hose is the way to go. Definitely.

Jim Neal Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I've a mate who has lived in Thailand/Cambodia for years, he refers to the above device as "THE BUM GUN" I visited him whilst he was in Bangkok and it was one of the first things he pointed out to me in my hotel room, encouraging me to give it a go. However he never gave me such detailed instructions as you. After my first and only attempt I needed a complete change of clothes and used up all my towels drying the bathroom floor!!! I switched back over to using the paper, even though it was so flimsy you had to use 6 layers to avoid the dreaded POO FINGER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
