So, you've made the move here, how long did it take to wean yourself off toilet paper?

OR, are you still addicted?

It took me about 18 months before I gave up buying the stuff.

6 months. Now we have to buy toilet paper whenever friends and family are visiting from abroad.

It's not an either/or. It's a both/and type of situation.

I can't believe bum guns haven't caught on much in the West.

Yeah, it is hard to believe that's for sure.

No kidding!

I think I jumped right on it.

I tried both (wash with the bum gun, then dry off with toilet paper). Clearly that doesn't work.

Now I despise toilet paper.

I hate the fancy places that don't give you the choice here. Just cruel.

I got used to after a few months and I really like it now, I mean it's much more hygienic and it feels much cleaner. The toilets with only a scooper took longer to get used to though. The last time I was back in the non-bum-gun-world I thought it was rather disgusting to smear shit all over the place. Bum Gun, all the way!

Bum guns: the sexual experience that you never wanted to try.

:shock:

Nearly sprayed beer on my laptop!

Bit wary about putting public ones anywhere near my date - dunno where they've been...

The thing I love about SEA washrooms, is the fact that you can clean them with your gun pretty easily.

For the first two or three years I didn't have the luxury of a bum gun. It was just the trough of water and the hand bucket thingie.
Doesn't take that long to get used to. Just keep telling yourself "It's my bum, and I won't get sick from my own faeces".
Don't forget to wash your hands and keep your nails trimmed!
