What Is a Butthole Anyways?
May 22, 2026
It is a reasonable question. You would think, given how long humans have been walking around with them, that we would have arrived at a consensus by now. A firm, universally agreed upon definition of the butthole that everyone could point to and say: yes, that is what we mean, we are all on the same page, moving on.
We have not done that. Nobody has done that. There is no international governing body for butthole definitions, no standardized terminology, no official document ratified by anyone. The butthole exists. What exactly constitutes the butthole remains, remarkably, a matter of interpretation.
We find this unsatisfying. We would like to fix it, at least for our purposes.
The BumZap Definition
For the purposes of BumZap, the butthole is the external area. The outside. The part you can reach with a bar of soap in the shower without any additional effort, equipment, or commitment. The part that has been present in every shower you have ever taken and has received, until BumZap, very little interesting attention.
That is the butthole we are talking about. That is the butthole BumZap zings.
On the Matter of Internal Concerns
We receive questions. The questions are understandable. People encounter a soap called BumZap that zings the butthole area and they want to know: how far does this go exactly? The answer is: not far. The answer is: the outside. The answer is that BumZap is a soap that does what soap does, which is clean the exterior of the body, and that the zing happens on the outside of the butthole area and stays there and does not proceed further.
BumZap is not a suppository. BumZap is not administered internally. BumZap is a bar of soap that you use in the shower on the outside of your body in the area of the butthole and the surrounding sensitive areas, and the zing occurs there, externally, where soap is supposed to go, as nature and basic hygiene intended.
We hope this resolves the question.
In Summary
The butthole: external area, present on most humans, historically underserved by soap, now addressed by BumZap.
The zing: real, external, remarkable, available to anyone with a butthole and access to a shower.
The soap: handmade, quality ingredients, goes on the outside of the body like all soaps, does something the outside of your body has been waiting for.
We hope this clears things up. If it did not, contact us and we will do our best to explain further. We're pretty glad to deep dive with people on this topic.
