how to wash your bum with a bucket? (serious)

Milamber · May 19th, 2007, 10:10

I have no problem using my hand directly. I think while I'm still in Indian toilet training I will try and keep some toilet paper with me just in case things go awry.

This practical thread reminds me, I need to do some calf stretches coupled with mock practice sessions in order to get into the squatting swing of things with ease.

Well yes, you read my slanted floor episode? Good fun, but mostly in hindsight the way good fun goes.

robotvoice · May 19th, 2007, 10:22

yeah, when i check out the toilet at a guest house, i look for some object like a tap or something that you can grab onto in case you start to fall backwards... no good when it's just a slick wall in front of you!

machadinha · May 19th, 2007, 11:12

Hm yes I was mostly rolling over forwards. Literally. With keeping your bum in place & dangling your arms around to "do the needful," not the most comfortable of positions. I think I used my head as a, um, headrest between me and the door in the end.

You can do a better job too if you try to spin as you move across the rug.

You have made a mistake there...

This technique is only used by dogs with worms!!!!!!!

(the idea of you doing the same is hilarious)

The spray that you have in the toilet - I guess you bought it locally & had it installed. Any pics to show the gizmo? What did it cost & how easy is it to install?

Some 7-8 years on my frequent visits to Japan, I sw that many western bathroom in hotels had this including the ability to have mixed temperature water - a very soothing effect.

I'm laughing so much I'm in pain.

About the toilets in Japan, they often have a spray that is directed at your bottom ( you have to press a button with the picture of a bottom with a spray of water under it). But some toilets have additional settings for the force of the spray, so you have to be very careful.

A friend of mine pressed the wrong button, and he was hit by a very strong spray of water. He could not figure out how to stop it so he tried to put the toilet cover down. However, the water kept spurting out from the sides even though toilet cover was down. Since the bathroom was very small, the water hit the walls and he got completely wet on the front of his pants as well.

So he had to ask his Japanese host for a hair dryer at the party he was attending. Spent a good ten minutes with the hair dryer aimed at the front of his pants.

Can't contribute much to the bum-washing technique discussion because other posters have already done a fantastic job, the most innovative tip being the one about the hand-held water gun!

As a man, it's worth pressing the 'lady' button too (which moves the spray arm slightly forward

). Nothing better than having one's scrotum sprayed with warm water.

Auntieji... How nice to see you after such a long time

Ba9rn... Really! I don't think we want to know about your sc.... can't even bring myself to say it

!!! Actually I, ermmm.... arange myself (shall we say) so that the spray does not spray too far forwards for fear of spreading some sort of bacteria to where it shoudl not be.

The ones in the new house are posher. It needs its own tap outlet.

Guys, pls dont forget to wash your hands thoroughly with a soap, after enjoying this "indian loo" experience. For that matter, I always carry a soap with me whenever I am travelling.

To avoid getting your pants/skirts messed up, you can just take the whole damn thing off before you start the "process".

Happy loo-ing

capt_mahajan · May 19th, 2007, 19:28

Have stayed in a hotel in Japan where there was some warm air provision too, to be used after the water.

Hmmm. So that medical term causes you to blush, yet you can use words like these... how to wash your bum with a bucket? (serious)

Nick-H · May 19th, 2007, 19:54

Here, by the way, from the same thread as my loo-spray post, is the ultimate pictorial instruction on what to do
