Celebrating International Women’s Day With The Bum Gun

International Women’s Day is today, March 8…

This is a worldwide day celebration for the fairer sex.

And I don’t just mean not just because they are paler, or prettier, or physically smaller and more delicate than men.

Women are the “fairer” sex because they’re often more fair – meaning impartial, even-handed, and honest in their judgments and decisions.

Therefore, this is a very special day to celebrate these fantastic attributes and also the achievements by women across the generations, and across the decades. Notable areas of respect include social achievements, economic, and cultural.

But for me it is a special day of thanks to my mother, my sister, my aunts and every female in my life, and most importantly my darling wife who puts up with the 100 hour work weeks I often put in, leaving not enough time for her (sorry darling but the world NEEDS to discover the benefits of The Bum Gun bidet sprayer)

International Women’s Day has been celebrated since the turn of the last century.

However, since i started The Bum Gun business, International Women’s Day represents a chance to reach out to as many females as possible, who have not yet discovered the supreme benefits of bidet sprayer technology.

Wet Wipes Become More Popular

I think most people have used a wet wipes in their life before. But where did you discard it after use?

Did you throw it down the toilet? Or dispose in a waste basket?

If you’ve been following The Bum Gun Blog over the last few years, you’ll already know my opinions on wet wipes.

However, if you have not heard about ‘Fatbergs’ caused by fat and wet wipes combining to block our sewers, then please check out this link. HERE

Now, back to International Women’s Day…

“The story of women’s struggle for equality doesn’t come from one person, or one organisation…

But a collective effort from all areas…

International Women’s Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action – whatever that looks like globally at a local level.

But one thing is for sure, International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

You might have heard of a significant march from Bow to Trafalgar Square in London in support of women’s suffrage when Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested in front of Charing Cross station on her way to speak in Trafalgar Square.

But across the world, there have been some incredibly brave women in the fight for equality…

So make a difference, think globally and act locally!

Make every day International Women’s Day.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bidet Sprayer Health Benefits

Is a bidet sprayer safe for everyone in the family to use?

Yes. The same bidet sprayer can be safely used by all family members. The sprayer only touches clean water (spraying away from itself), never contacts waste, and can be wiped down occasionally if preferred.

Think of it like your shower head—multiple family members use it without hygiene concerns because it dispenses clean water.

Can’t I just use wet wipes instead?

No. Wet wipes create different problems:

Health problems: Wet wipes contain chemicals (preservatives, fragrances, alcohol) that irritate sensitive skin. Many people develop reactions to wet wipes.

“Flushable” wipes are a lie: Despite labelling, they don’t break down in sewers. Thames Water spends £18 million annually clearing wet wipe blockages 

The Feltham fatberg (100 tonnes) was mostly wet wipes 

Environmental disaster: Wet wipes are essentially plastic. They clog sewers, create fatbergs, pollute waterways, and never fully decompose 

Thames Water Remove 100-tonne Fatberg!

Cost: Regular wet wipe users spend £72-144+ annually. The Bum Gun costs £95 once.

Bidet sprayers solve the problem wet wipes create: Clean water, no chemicals, no environmental damage, no sewer blockages, better results.

Will cold water be uncomfortable?

Most people adapt within 2-3 uses and actually prefer the refreshing feeling. UK tap water (10-15°C) isn’t icy cold, and the brief contact time (10-15 seconds) makes it quite tolerable.

Cold water also has health benefits—it’s soothing for hemorrhoids and reduces inflammation.

If you strongly prefer warm water, dual-temperature kits are available, but 95% of users find cold water perfectly comfortable once accustomed.

How do you dry off after using a bidet sprayer?

Three options:

1. Pat dry with a few squares of toilet paper (most common method, still saves 90%+ of toilet paper)
2. Use a dedicated towel (eliminates paper entirely, wash regularly like hand towels)
3. Air dry (takes longer but works)

The sophisticated nozzle design of The Titan creates a controlled stream that limits wetness to the cleaning area, so drying is quick regardless of method.

Is it sanitary for the whole family to share one bidet sprayer?

Yes, completely sanitary. The bidet sprayer works like your shower head—it sprays clean water AWAY from itself. It never contacts waste. No cross-contamination occurs.

The water washes everything down into the toilet. The sprayer itself only ever touches clean water from your supply line.

Does using a bidet sprayer help with hemorrhoids?

Yes, significantly. This is one of the most reported bidet sprayer health benefits.

Cool water reduces inflammation and soothes pain. The gentle cleaning (no abrasive rubbing) allows hemorrhoids to heal instead of being constantly re-irritated.

Many hemorrhoid sufferers report dramatic improvement within days of switching from toilet paper to water cleaning.

Can elderly people with arthritis use a bidet sprayer easily?

Yes. The bidet sprayer is often EASIER for elderly people than toilet paper because:

• No reaching and twisting required
• No grip strength needed for tearing paper
• One-handed operation
• Simple trigger squeeze (adjustable pressure)
• Thorough cleaning in seconds

Many elderly users report that bidet sprayers maintain their independence and dignity in personal hygiene. And thats priceless!

Will a bidet sprayer prevent UTIs?

For women, yes—proper front-to-back water cleaning helps prevent urinary tract infections by washing bacteria away instead of spreading it around (which often happens with toilet paper wiping).

While not a medical device or guaranteed prevention, many women report fewer UTI episodes after switching to water cleaning.

Does the bidet sprayer actually get you cleaner than toilet paper?

Yes. Think about it: if you got dog mess on your arm, would you wipe it with dry paper or wash it with water?

Water physically removes waste. Toilet paper just redistributes it.

The “shower fresh” clean feeling from a bidet sprayer is genuine cleanliness, not just “wiped enough.”

How long do bidet sprayers last?

The Titan Bum Gun comes with a 5 long years warranty. With proper care (turning off the safety valve after use, occasional nozzle cleaning), it lasts much longer.

Our CEO’s personal Titans: Running perfectly after 8 and 9 years.

Quality 304 stainless steel construction means decades of use, not months like cheap plastic alternatives.
