Don’t Expose Your Baby To Chemical Wet Wipes

Are Baby Wet Wipes Toxic?

Do you know of all the chemicals in Baby Wet Wipes? It has been my life passion to improve as many people’s lives as possible since I started The Bum Gun bidet sprayer company. Due to the recent escalation in the use of Wet Wipes by people after using the toilet, it is my responsibility to make sure you are aware of the chemicals in Wet Wipes , and then you can make an informed decision on whether you wish to continue using wet wipes or upgrade to something safer.

And importantly, if you are a parent, this whole situation is even more important. Therefore, it is my duty to help you make educated and responsible choices.

What Chemicals Are in Wet Wipes?

You might want to look at the ingredients next time you buy Baby Wet Wipes to make sure that you understand what chemicals you could be wiping on your baby.

These are just some of the chemicals I know of which are being used in the production of Baby Wet Wipes.

• Potassium Laureth Phosphate
• Polysorbate 20
• Tetrasodium EDTA
• Methylparaben
• Malic Acid
• Methylisothiazolinone
• Tocopheryl Acetate

 

Preservative Chemicals used in Wet Wipes

The preservatives used in wet wipes are not safe by any means. They are Methylparaben and Methylisothiazolinone which may cause allergic skin reactions.

Studies carried out in laboratories also suggest that methylisothiazolinone can also cause serious damage to your brain cells and the nervous system.

The important thing you should know about methylparaben is that it mimics estrogen and may disrupt the normal function of the hormone system. Some people might argue that small amounts won’t harm you. And I guess that is everyone’s choice.

1,4-Dioxane Contamination Is Possible

Two of the most dangerous chemicals which are often used in wet wipes are Potassium Laureth Phosphate and Polysorbate 20. They are both produced by using carcinogenic ethylene oxide, which may contaminate the final product with carcinogenic 1,4-dioxane.

Don’t just take my word for it, the Environmental Protection Agency has advised that 1,4-dioxane is “likely to be carcinogenic to humans” by all routes of exposure.

Final Thoughts on Chemical Wipes

Remember, your baby’s skin is thinner than yours, meaning that more substances get absorbed into the bloodstream.

So, do you really feel like still using wet wipes on the sensitive skin around your tender bits, never mind your baby, knowing these facts about chemical-laden wet-wipes?

Should we be even calling them wet wipes or baby wipes? If governments demanded that they be called Chemical Wipes do you think you would still use them?

Please feel free to pass this information on to your family and friends, because everyone should be aware of the long term dangers before using these products.

Admittedly, the dangers creep up on you, so damage won’t be seen instantly, but the massive growth in cancers over the last 30 years is worrying enough, to need to start living differently.

The Bum Gun bidet sprayer can help you lead a much more chemical free life for you and all your family.

If You Are Still Using Toilet Paper (Read This)!!

WWF report links Sumatra deforestation to toilet paper

By Paul Robinson

We have been encouraging you to switch to The Bum Gun every day for the past 4 years on this blog.  My friend Paul Robinson has an amazing article which you must read NOW!!

We know how difficult it is to link products to dangerous practices. Eco-friendly companies and individuals are going to be shocked once more at the habitat destruction wreaked on rainforests by their toilet paper, paper towels and tissue.

The huge island of Sumatra has just about the greatest loss of forest of any area in the

world. Everybody wants a piece of it, including elephants, orang-utans, rhino and the

approximate 280 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. It has now been disclosed in a WWF report that APP’s fibre, used by 8 large retailers (BI-LO, Brookshire Grocery Company, Delhaize Group (owner of Food Lion chain), Harris Teeter, Kmart, Kroger, SUPERVALU, and Weis Markets) is to be discontinued because of this link. (APP is Asia Pulp and Paper, subsidiary to the giant Chinese Sinar Mas Group.)

WWF (World Wildlife Fund) is the first to praise this move by these eco-conscious companies. “We applaud the decision by these companies to remove these products from their stores,” said Jan Vertefeuille, head of WWF’s Tiger Campaign.

APP is among several affiliates who are alleged to have destroyed 5 million acres of rainforest in Sumatra since 1984, distributing and expanding its paper products through many US paper companies. One major example is the non-home products, Paseo (the fastest growing toilet-paper sale in the US and especially in California) and Livi, which you find in hotels, restaurants, schools and offices. Many companies have not responded to appeals and are listed on the WWF site. You can look at “Who sells these Products?” or elsewhere in the informative article.

Certainly, more than 50% of American consumers applaud sustainability, while the rest of the world are more eco-friendly, or less, depending largely of development. This is a chance to kick back at organisations who really don’t listen to the simple lessons taught our children and our ancestors. “Save the Planet, because it has certainly saved us.”

WWF quote the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry which estimates the total carbon emissions from

deforestation and associated peat decomposition and burning to be 1.2 gigatons per year. These massive emissions from deforestation make Indonesia the world’s third-largest greenhouse gas emitter. Around 60 percent of this carbon emission is estimated to occur in Riau Province, the epicentre of APP’s pulp mill and deforestation operations.

Species saved from this immense forest loss and carbon emission are few. Sustainable tourism helps to preserve a tiny enclave here and there, but governments and multinationals are the only true saviours of our last wild places. Individuals must act in order to ensure that this happens. It’s up to every person who might just be using a product they never even give a second thought to.

Important Ways to Save Your Relationship Today

1. Don’t EVER think, just because you are dating or married that your partner MUST put up with your bad breathe. Bad breathe is revolting, and always will be. Brush your teeth regularly throughout the day. And keep a tube of toothpaste and brush in your office desk, for a lunch-time clean, and just before you go home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Also, Don’t EVER think, your partner MUST put up with your poor hygiene. The Bum Gun bidet sprayer is simply to install, and will drastically improve your hygiene and that of a female partner. So, before you go out and buy the next box of chocolates, think about buying and installing The Bum Gun bidet sprayer, and watch your love life improve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. After your next screaming match, right before the makeup sex, don’t bother with the “I love you” cliché. Just tell her, “You know, you’re the only person I’d ever tolerate talking to me like that. You’re that amazing.”

 

4. No screaming matches lately? Have one, fast. If she’s screaming at you, she still gives a damn. Silence from a woman means something has died.

 

5. Drop this bomb: “You remember the time we [insert personal-best sex saga here]? I bet we could do even better.”

 

6. Do you ever thinking about leaving your partner? Think about this first: No one is perfect. The next person you meet could indeed be cooler, hornier, and wealthier. But you’ll soon grow tired of the crap, and long for your old trusty partner back.

 

7. All the stuff you’d want after a breakup—nights on the town, drop-of-a-hat vacations, those long-put-off season tickets—you can enjoy right now. With a built-in date. So pick something fun and do it TOGETHER.

 

8. Learn a new sport together. Join the gym. Take up surfing. Join a karate class. Go to the golf driving range, or local pitch n putt. Just do something new to both of you, and do it THIS WEEKEND.

 

9. As you ask your best friend for advice on your partner’s best jaw-dropping gift, did you ever think to ask your partner first?

Remember, good personal hygiene will give you an uplift in life, as well as your relationship. Just because you’ve been using toilet paper for years, it doesn’t mean you can’t get a much better alternative.

GOOGLE EARTH FINDS WOMAN TRAPPED ON A DESERTED ISLAND FOR 7 YEARS

I know this story is not directly about The Bum Gun or hygiene, but saying that if you were stuck on an island for 7 years you aint gonna be using toilet paper. And I bet you would NOT miss it, because you would use something MORE natural and cleaner, like water!!

But this story is a fantastic example of not giving up, and persevering through life’s challenges. And all of us at The Bum Gun Ltd strive every day to help everyone we meet have a better life, make the most of our chance on this earth, and make profound differences so family, friends and colleagues also have better lives.

In 2007, Gemma Sheridan and 2 friends set out on a voyage that was to take them from their home town of Liverpool, across the Atlantic to the Panama Canal and then onwards to the beautiful island of Hawaii. The first stage of the voyage went without incident. However, after passing through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific, things started to take a turn for the worse.

There was a huge storm that took out the boats electronics and washed her 2 friends overboard and seriously damaged her boat. Without any electronics and with a damaged boat, Gemma drifted for 17 days until she was hit by another major storm. During the storm, Gemma was knocked unconscious and the rest is history. Gemma awoke on a beach, surrounded by wreckage from her boat.

Here is a short account of some of the things she endured: Within the first hour I had a major panic attack. It was a disturbing feeling, being alone, isolated, so far from home without a hope. I had been on water rations for the last 2 weeks, so finding water was the first priority. There were no pools of fresh water, so I had to rig up a contraption that drew the water away from the rock and I managed to get one drop every 50 seconds. That was my only source of water, so it was coconuts until it rained.

Not the best start.

The amount of energy required to do anything massive and it was mentally taxing. For the first 2 weeks I stayed in a mock shelter i made from debris that washed ashore. I needed to find real shelter, I found a large tree that looked perfect. I nibbled away at the bark of a tree with a giant clam shell for 11 days just to build a shelter. It might have been bomb-proof and waterproof in the end and it’s probably still standing but if I’d had a machete, just that one tool, I would have been able to build it in a few hours. It was four weeks before I managed to light a fire – you have no idea how happy that made me.

There were eight feral goats on the island, three adults and five kids. I seen them occasionally, but they would always get away. I made a bow and arrow, but this just went twang and fell on the floor. And my spear wasn’t sharp enough. So, when the hunting tools didn’t work, I spent seven days building a coral-type trap with spikes on it and everything. I thought “Yes. This’ll do it”. It didn’t.

One day I was walking round the island looking for crabs and saw what I thought was driftwood caught up in the bottom of this tree. Then it bleated. This goat had been eating the leaves, got its horns caught and panicked. It was a massive thing, about 45 or 50 kilos and it was meat, so I tried squeezing its windpipe but that wouldn’t do it and then I had to bash it on the head with a clam shell. It took about 15 minutes to kill it and was quite gruesome. It showed me how far I was from being able to hunt because even though it was trapped it still took me quarter of an hour.

Fast forward a few years and everything had changed: The physical side was tough but ultimately fine. I did a series of exercises on the beach every day – press-ups, chin-ups on a tree branch, squats with boulders on my shoulders and shuttle runs of about 300 metres. I had managed to get to a stage when I was getting stronger.

The difficulty was elsewhere.

My mind was lonely and it was beginning to dawn on me that I may never be saved. Usually if you’re on a desert island and you start talking to yourself it is an indication that things are going wrong. I had a sign on the beach that was about 10 feet high, but it had sat there all this time and nothing came of it. So I decided to go all out, I spent the next few weeks clearing space and finding materials to build a huge sign in the sand on the beach. My hope was that perhaps a plane might fly over and see it, but in all my time on the island, I had not seen 1 single plane fly over. I didn’t give up though.

Fast forward a couple more years: I woke up 1 morning to the sound of a plane flying over me which was unusually low, I could not believe it, I thought it was a dream. I ran to the beach screaming and waving my arms like a lunatic, the plane flew over 2 or 3 more times and then dropped a small package. Inside was a radio, fresh water, food and a small medical kit. I switched on the radio and heard the first human voice for years. We talked for what seemed like an eternity, then I asked the voice on the other end “How did you find me” to which they replied “Some kid from Minnesota found your SOS sign on Google Earth” I didn’t even know what Google Earth was, but I’m eternally in their debt now.

So if this story is true it’s an amazing story. If not, then a good yarn all the same!!

Memorial Day – Remembering What You Did For Us

All week-long I’ve heard the reports of what the travel conditions, weather conditions, airfares, and gas prices are going to be for this year’s Memorial Day Weekend. I’ve seen umpteen recipes made and displayed and drinks poured into colorful glasses from matching jugs.

But nothing’s been said about those the day is set aside to honour. How very sad. It’s so important that in the midst of parties and parades we actually remember, honour and respect the price paid for our freedom.

Those who gave their life that we could be safe have paid the ultimate price. Their loved ones and families are also paying a very heavy price.

Let’s not forget the real heroes this day is all about, THEM!

By the grace of God, please share a thought for the veterans who didn’t return, as well as those who did with sad memories and grieving hearts. They all sacrificed so much for each and every one of us.

8 Head Turning Facts Why Big Bums Are Awesome

Obviously we are thrilled to bits to hear that our Bum Gun bidet sprayers are hitting Hollywood, with the news Jennifer Lopez being one of our growing admirers of the bidet sprayer. And as a huge sign of respect here is our admiration to every lady with a BIG BUM.

You have all seen the catwalks in the last few years. Streams of waif-like-junkie looking girls, who look in desperate need of a Big Mac & fries. In my opinion big bums are far more attractive. Skinny girls, who could be mistaken for a guy from behind, just don’t look sensual, don’t look worth looking at, and definitely do not represent the proper female form.

I wonder if you have seen the padded butt knickers. I find these highly amusing, but just go to show how not everyone wants the skinny beanpole look.

Everyone was goggle-eyed when Kim Kardashian did a recent photo shoot in Krabi, Thailand wearing a Brazilian thong bikini. We heard she was offered one of the million baht members’ club cards, other holders being David Beckham. One thing is for sure everyone on Krabi’s beach that morning got a real treat from Hollywood’s royalty.

Kim ’s tropical, brazen look made us remember eight more benefits of having a pronounced bum and reasons to embrace your big booties!

1. The Sexiest Bums are big

Jennifer Lopez must have one of the most sought after butts going. A chunky, well-rounded  bum is a highly desirable feature on a 21^st century woman. This is mainly due to a number of high-profile celebs, like Jennifer Lopez, whose curvy yet tight bum is dee-licious. And Jennifer knows the best way to take care of her gorgeous derriere is using a bidet sprayer, NOT nasty toilet roll.

2. They make us more heart-healthy

 

According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, the subcutaneous fat found in women’s butts, hips, and thighs may protect them against health issues, such as heart disease and diabetes. That means pear-shaped women tend to be healthier than apple-shaped ones.

3. Tight fitting jeans are SEXY!!

 

Girls with skinny bums hardly ever look hot in jeans. Tons of sag is just NOT sexy!! Big bums, like Kim’s fill out jeans and give every admirer a lovely view

4. Women With Big Butts Are Smarter And Healthier

Scientists from the University of Oxford have discovered that women with larger than average butts are not only increasingly intelligent but also very resistant to chronic illnesses. Omega 3 fats have been proven to catalyze brain development. Researchers have also discovered that children who have moms with wider hips sometimes tend to have higher IQs.

5. Big Bums Help Protect From Diabetes

 

According to ABC News, women with bigger booties tend to have lower cholesterol levels and are more likely to produce sugar-metabolizing hormones. Therefore, women with big butts are less likely to have diabetes.”

6. Never Feel Uncomfortable Sitting On A Wall

Falling on your ass is painful if you don’t have much down there to act as a cushion. Sitting on the ground or uncomfortable chairs for long periods of time? Forget about it, little butts.

 

7. Beyoncé Queen of the Butt Shakin Dance Moves

 

The best dancers have a lot of bootie to shake. Beyoncé is queen of the butt shakin dance moves. Watch any of her videos and tell me I’m not right.

8. Selfie Mania – Perfect Opportunity To Show Off Your Butt

As everyone knows Selfie Mania is HERE!! And girls across the globe can’t wait to strip off in their bedroom or bathroom and show the world their bodies. Luckily for us big butt lovers that includes some very tasty booties!! Enjoy!!

Dangerous Trends In Personal Hygiene You Must Know

Why should more people be talking about anal pain?

Anal discomfort can be absolute torture and dealing with it can lead to a very stressful situation. I have been a regular Bum Gun user for about 21 years, and obviously I hate any occasion when I have to return to the dreaded toilet paper. If you are reading this and still a toilet paper user, please bare with me.

What Causes of Anal Pain and Discomfort?

Let’s face it, the anal area is very sensitive and can be very troubling, yet many people are reluctant to discuss it, or do anything about it. Itching, painful defecation, stained underwear, release of blood, and odour all lead to embarrassment, distress, social problems, and anguish.

These problems of anal discomfort are very common. Symptoms exist with irritable bowel syndrome or other functional bowel disorders. Diarrhoea and constipation may worsen them. Anal discomfort symptoms are not part of these conditions as they may occur independently.

They may be due to or associated with many local diseases. Crohn’s disease may attack the anus. Other diseases can occur in your private areas too. If defecation is painful, there are probably small tears in your anal skin, also called an anal fissure. The surrounding skin is prone to many diseases and infections.

Whatever the association, irritation around the anal area can be treated and prevented.

Prevention of Anal Discomfort

Whenever I am forced to use toilet paper over anything more than a couple of days my anal area becomes extremely sore, and the abrasive nature of toilet paper causes tears in my skin, resulting in blood, which I find deplorable.

How can you get help for these troublesome symptoms? First of all, it is a good idea to go see your doctor.  I know a lot of people will do anything to NOT see the doctor, especially if the problem involves your private areas. But it is very important you are checked out by your doctor.

Whatever the cause, many of the following suggestions may be helpful.

Advice Which Will Relieve Anal Discomfort

Intense wiping with dry toilet paper will probably damage your skin, which will make the problem worse. But the skin around the anal area is tender, and very sensitive.

Using The Bum Gun bidet sprayer is the intelligent answer to many problems with anal discomfort. Honestly, I find it astounding that more people have not upgraded their bathrooms yet. Toilet paper was invented 150 years ago, and so anyone should know that there are much better alternatives available.

Even the ‘softest’ toilet papers are rough, and cause abrasions in your anal area. It’s no wonder so many people have stained underwear, and release of blood.

Furthermore, small pieces of toilet paper become stuck in the anal skin which can be irritating. Even more irritating is the coloured toilet paper, as the dyes can be the cause of allergies.

You honestly have nothing to lose with The Bum Gun. It is by far a more hygienic option, as well as much more comforting, especially is you already have anal fissures. I promise you here and now, that once you have tried The Bum Gun – YOU WILL NEVER RETURN TO TOILET PAPER, willingly.

Why am I so confident to make this promise to you today??

Well, its because in all my time of working with people and supplying them The Bum Gun, I have never had anyone return to using toilet paper. It just doesn’t happen. You might think that is unbelievable right now. But honestly, the product is extremely extraordinary.

The Bum Gun is light years ahead of toilet paper on every count:

1. The Bum Gun pays for itself within just a few months, so saving you a ton of money over its lifetime.
2. The Bum Gun is more hygienic and comfortable. It gets you much cleaner. Saving your underpants. Saving you from embarrassment.
3.  Saving your relationship!
4. The Bum Gun is by far the greener, smarter option.

After using the invigorating jet spray of The Bum Gun, simply air dry. But most people pat the area dry using a lint-free cloth. Alternatively, pat dry with a few sheets of toilet paper.

There are many anal ointments, creams, and suppositories sold for anal complaints. Try not to use these if possible. Some, especially those containing local anaesthetics, may set up a local allergic reaction and worsen the problem. Others contain irritants such as witch hazel or alcohol.

Again, make sure you consult your doctor before using any of these creams. If you must use them, please use sparingly.

•  Sweat may irritate as well. Non-medicated talcum powder may help if there is excessive sweating in the area around the anus. Healthy skin everywhere needs air.
• Avoid tight clothing.
• Wear light, white cotton underwear.
• Check that the detergent used in cleaning your clothes is not irritating or allergenic.
• After exercise, wash as above to avoid the irritating effect of sweat.
• Avoid sitting for long periods, and consider using a rubber ring (available in medical supply shops) to remove pressure on the anus.
• Healthy bowel action can minimize faecal contact and help the anal distress. Hard stools may be prevented by fibre, thus minimizing straining.
• If diarrhoea can be controlled, so may faecal staining and incontinence. Avoid foods and drugs that may irritate or that are associated with itching.

The Bum Gun WILL improve your life

Remember, no one goes back to toilet paper. There is a very strong reason for that. And you are missing out. Treat yourself today, you will NEVER regret it.

Furthermore, these simple measures can help many people with these common, but sadly, unspoken complaints. They can help you lead a much more comfortable, stress-free, and pain-free life.

Menstrual Hygiene: 5 important things you should know

One for the ladies guys, so please turn to another page while us ladies have a natter…thanks.

Menstruation is a huge change in a teenage girl’s life. When puberty starts there are a number of things a young female must know. ‘Is a sanitary napkin effective?’, ‘How to stay best clean during periods?’ and, ‘How to handle all these weird changes in your body?

Bidets Helps Females Stay Clean

During my research when travelling the world, there are many females who believe so many myths based around female periods.

Here is some advice to help you stay clean and hygienic during your periods. Here’s how you can reduce the pain during your periods.

1.  Different Methods of Sanitation

First, choose the right method for sanitation during your periods. There are many ways including the use of sanitary pads, tampons and menstrual cups to stay clean. If you do decide to use a tampon remember that it is essential to choose one that has the lowest absorbency rate for your flow. During this time it is essential to realize that it does take time to get used to sanitary pads and tampons.

There are chances that you may have stains or may not choose the right kind of sanitary pad for you. It is a trial and error, so relax and you will find one that suits you.

It is important you feel comfortable during your periods, so it is essential you find a brand and a type of sanitary to suit you.

2. Change Your Pad Regularly

It is important to change your sanitary pad, tampon or menstrual cup regularly. The standard time for a sanitary pad is once every six hours, and every two hours for a tampon. Again, this is base timing, you have to work out how often the changes suit you. Every female has different flow rates.

Remember sanitary napkins are made of cotton wool and when you bleed into one, most of the blood gets soaked in, but at a certain point the pad gets saturated and may leak.

Another consideration is that menstrual blood, once it has left the body, gets contaminated with the body’s innate organisms. This rule applies for even those days when you don’t have much bleeding, since your pad is still damp and will have organisms from your vagina and sweat from your genitals. When these organisms remain in a warm and moist place for a long time they tend to multiply and can lead to conditions like urinary tract infection, vaginal infections and skin rashes. Therefore changing is essential.

Regarding tampons it is very important because, if left inserted into the vagina for long periods it can cause a condition called toxic shock syndrome. This is when bacteria infiltrate the body leading to severe infection that can send to the body into shock – that requires emergent treatment and can lead to serious complications and even death.

3. Wash With The Bum Gun Bidet Sprayer Regularly

It is important to wash your vagina and labia well before you change into a new pad. The Bum Gun bidet sprayer is ideal in giving you that “shower fresh clean” between pad changes.

When you menstruate the blood tends to enter tiny spaces like the skin between your labia or around the opening of the vagina. Therefore, you MUST always wash this excess blood away with The Bum Gun Bidet Sprayer. This will prevent bad odour from the vaginal region common with people who use only toilet paper.

 

4. Don’t use soaps or vaginal hygiene products

It is important to wash yourself with The Bum Gun Bidet Sprayer regularly, but only use soap on the external parts but do not use it inside your vagina or vulva.

The vagina has its own cleaning mechanism that works in a very fine balance of good and bad bacteria. Washing it with soap can kill the good bacteria making way for infections.

5. Discard your used sanitary product properly

Whether you are using a sanitary pad, tampon or menstrual cup, it is important to know how to dispose of it correctly. Always wrap the used product in waste paper or put it in a plastic bag. Properly wrap it and discard it in a sanitary bin.

Never flush it down the toilet. And remember to wash your hands properly after you have changed your sanitary pad.

 

When you have your periods it is important to have extra sanitary pads in your bag. It will be a good idea to also carry a bottle of hand sanitizer too.

If anywhere you go often, like your work place, gym, yoga centre, or favourite coffee shop is still using toilet paper, then you tell them to UPGRADE NOW.

All of us Bum Gun bidet sprayer users find toilet steer of anywhere which has not upgraded yet. Come on guys, get with the program!!
