Depends! We have a large bulb syringe in fairly plain view in teh medicine cabinet in our en suite bathroom. Fairly plain because the sliding door is often left open! But that's for my wife, who has an obscure (and vvery embartrassing) bowel problem causng her to ooze shit into her underwear without even being aware it has happened. She has the most expensive arsehole in South Africa after all the money we have thrown at the thing - to no avail. But a quick squirt to clean out her rectum gives her confidence when we go out. enither of us mi nds having that seen by others.
But my gear is different. It's home made. OK, the five litre bucket I use is in plain view, but that has no identifying features. It could feature in any bathroom to soak really dirty stuff in stain remover. Come to think of it, that's not so far off what I use it for. 😁 But I don't really want someone arbitrary coming out of our batrhroom and asking, "Hey, that's a really strange piece of plastic tube you have there with the stiffener in the one end and a garden hose fitting with the in-mline tap on the other! What on earth is it for?" Any snappy answers to that would be gratefully received. But it gets worse!
"I can see that you use the bike pump to pump up that ominous-looking black banana-thing. That's got a garden hose fitting on it, too. But what the hell IS it?"
But if the caller is not so naive, it'll probably end like this: -
"OK, don't answer that! Darling, we have to leave now. I suddenly don't feel comfortable!"
And to me, "Goodbye; I don't suppose we'll see each other again."
And all that is assuming they don't spot the 42 Fr colon tube with the large bulbous tip and the inflatable sleeve on it! (BTW, the bloody thing developed a puncture last night as I was pumping it up after getting the tube right up me. I got a
OK, I grant you that not anyone who visits gets to see inside our en suite bathroom. But when there are twenty odd people staying in the house (it happens at holiday times because we live on the beach), then I can't be sure it'll stay private. Just think of the jokes about the comments kids make when they find stuff...!!!
Nah - I think I'll keep it confidential.
