Backpacking Bidet Test and Use of 3 Types

[@robertwilliamson922]

You don’t need a real hard blast of water. In Southeast Asia, (spent six months there), they use hand held bidet “bum guns” hoses next to regular toilets, and hand ladles of water you pour down your backside when using squat toilets. And the idea is your ladle the water or spray with the hose with your right hand, while at the same time wiping with your left hand until clean. Afterwards, you bidet spray your hands and wash your hands. Since you are wiping with your hand….and spraying at the same time….you don’t need a hard spray like a firehose or something.

Three shells 😆 Nice Demolition Man reference.

[@lesliefranklin1870]

I always need four shells after fine dining at Taco Bell.

[@3nertia]

Oh! Someone *does* make a bidet that just screws onto standard 28mm threads! I've been saying for awhile that someone should just make a bidet you could use with any standard water bottle! Lol Thanks for the review!

[@FlashToso]

Disposed water/pop bottles work. Hole in cap more flexible than in bottle. Hole on thread side of ridge leaks! Make 1/16 inch hole from inside cap on wall just above the ridge! Sprays sideways.

[@fredlevel897]

Thank you for this video. I've using toilet paper for years, packing it away in a ziploc bag for later disposal, and I'm very interested in this bidet thing. TP can run out, so can water, but TP can also get wet by accident and become unusable. The most critical times are when you eat something your stomach didn't agree with and.. oh boy!...you need tons of TP! I think I will carry a bidet for standard use, and a small emergency amount of TP in case I am too low on water until the next water stream.

Interesting. I never knew of such a thing. Carrying extra water adds a lot of weight in my opinion. I guess it depends on the scenario. Thanks Bruce 😊

Thank you! Bidets have excellent benefits even if it means extra water. Popular in some countries/cultures. Thank you reviewing these! I wish there was a way for something less toxic than plastic. Metals too stiff of course to squeeze. Waterproof fabrics but then would they get mildewed? I will look into silicone. Edit: just now did some research and silicone sounds quite non-toxic and other good properties such as not degrading in the sun. Natural rubber not bad but in some causes latex allergy. Also, in this video, even far away, can see water droplets do in fact splashback. So a dedicated bottle and sometimes sanitizing it all sounds good. I just read natural rubber (latex) or silicone can be sanitized (not as good as sterilizing but still helpful) say once a month in boiled (removed from heat source and no longer boiling) water under 100 degrees C for about 2-5 minutes. I think thats called scalding, not boiling. More often or hot than that could degrade it. Silicone can be microwave sterilized; natural rubber latex can't. I read that in articles about baby pacifiers.

[@flowersafeheart]

P.S. Oh! Just clicked link for rubber one recommended a d it's actually silicone (food grade or medical grade? Unclear). Yay!🙂 Now will look for silicone bottle for it.

[@MyLifeOutdoors]

4:44 I was wondering about back splash. Like should I carry a dedicated bottle?

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

I don't think you will need to. When in actual use it is like skipping a rock really. Start high and move to the front and the angles will keep and splash back from happening

[@QuietMowing]

As someone who uses a bidet on trail... yes, use a dedicated bottle. 😁

[@btrswt35]

Would they fit on a collapsible water bottle? Not keen on using a drinking bottle and would rather have a collapsible container than a crunchy plastic bottle

[@Beastro777]

And the SERIOUS ultralight backpackers just hike in pairs, so your buddy can piss on you and save that 8oz. of weight carrying a bidet. I'm not a serious ultralight packer so I use wet wipes.

[@deathclock9]

yea but its so tough timing my buddy's pee to coincide with my poop and vice versa

[@dman10000]

Hopefully you're packing out your we wipes

[@jimbo32234]

Top Tip: use a full cola bottle and drop a couple of mentos into it, saves having to squeeze the bottle.

[@phillipsnichole2857]

Will they work upside down?

Should've used two balloons and taped them together and then smeared in between some peanut butter so we could really check it out

[@stby_outdoors]

My only issue is I run out of water before I'm fully clean. May just need a bigger bottle

[@chanvalentine8283]

Thank you.

As someone who identifies as a member of the blue skinned community I find that balloon highly offensive ;)

Interesting product review. People who surface-poop suck. Take care.

[@steverox13]

Surface shitters are the worst, luckily a lot of the places I enjoy backpacking or remote enough to know garner much attention

[@Jonsoh811]

Since I never used a bidet... there are things I don’t get. You take a dump in nature, so you have to drop your pants, then you squirt water between the cheeks from 10 inches away. I don’t know how to do that squating and not hit/backsplash my pants or fall over. Second, okay you’re clean but are now wet... so you need to dry to prevent funghi or chafing... do I then need a separate butt drying rag? So basically I need a bidet, a rag and extra water for every dump I take. With the risk of wetting my pants. Or I take toilet paper, wipe and burn it in tiny burner can I also use as stove. No splash problems, less weight, no toiletpaper in/on ground, more comfortable/easier to use, but you need to take more care cleaning. For a toilet in a building with a water source, I understand bidets, but can someone explain me the practicality whilst hiking?

[@Dharma_Bum]

What do when you can’t burn it? Plenty places in Australia are ZERO fires. You going to carry it out?

[@Jonsoh811]

@@Dharma_Bum Never been to Australia, it's a bucket list thing though. Besides I wouldn't know how to cook without any kind of flame. How do you cook in those instances? Since a gas flame is about the same size as a toiletpaper flame. So yes, I would carry it out. Especially since I don't see how I would have enough water in such a drought anyway. Normally I tend to carry 4 liter of water already of which most is for drinking. If you can use a gas canister, put it in a small metal charring tin (I always have that with me anyway since it contains my fire material) and just char it on your gas flame. Smelly, maybe a bit, but you can use it as tinder in other situations.

Practice at home in the bath/shower.

@@andyalenagerrardovi5461 practice makes perfect, but I still do not see an advantage of this method whilst hiking.

@@Jonsoh811 It sounds like your system works for you (props!) but if you're still curious, this video provides super detailed answers to your questions (and is kind of funny): "Detailed explanation on how to use a Backpacking Bidet--Buy a Holey Hiker Bidet! See Description!" With practice, he's got it down to 100ml (Champion level) with no splashing, and the water dries naturally (just like sweat). Benefits: not worrying about running out of TP or having to buy it, carry it, and dispose of it or pack it out.

[@Beastro777]

you really actually enjoyed it, huh.

[@bihlygoat]

Gram counters will use TP because it weighs less than carrying extra water (2.2 lbs per liter!) for washing your butt. 😋

[@bihlygoat]

And bidet users must surely have wet butts.

[@fre3radic4l]

I shit like a monster and this would never get my butt clean, it would just make a nice soupy mess

Too descriptive

[@bellaluce7088]

[@flowersafeheart]

You can spray some of bidet on before you go poo. Then optionally remove any solids ("heavy lifting") with something, maybe a poo spatula like is used for babies or (at risk of rash) sticks or leaves. Then end with bidet. Less odors, more clean, more sanitary, and partners appreciate it.

[@murphragous]

What do you do about the self-induced swamp ass? Bring an extra ass towel? Air dry? Seems like that would be an issue. Im out.
