Rudimentary but Functional
OK, so you're probably reading this review because you want to find an alternative to toilet paper, and heard the oft-repeated analogy to wiping doggy doo off your hands. The good: The bidet does what it's supposed to do. It sprays in a nice, direct pattern. The bottle is nice and squishy, and feels like it will last. Not so good: There is no way to store water securely to have the bidet "at ready". The fill opening is narrow, and does not always fit the water saving-style faucets in public buildings. Because of the collapsible nozzle, it's sometimes easy to drip water onto ones pants when sitting on the toilet.
does the job
Bidets are civilized and the results are superior. My home bidet emits a strong stream of water. This device cannot, no matter how hard one squeezes, and it requires a bit of hand strength. Female users will find the 13floz fill more than adequate to freshen up after urination. However, a thorough cleansing of the perineum area usually requires two fillings. You will want to bring along plenty of water to refill the bottle and to wash your hands. Compare the Happybottom device carefully against the competing bidet products such as dedicated squirt systems and water bottle nozzles. Happybottom performs the job with some limitations.
Great product!
I purchased this several months ago for home use as a much cheaper alternative to bidets that required installation. Attractions were price point, portability (easy to take camping or backpacking), simplicity, and versatility. The long nozzle makes it easy to reach nooks and crannies, and I have found it quite easy to direct the spray where needed, though it did take a couple of days to become accurate without spraying water everywhere. The product works very well for its intended purpose, and it has more than paid for itself in toilet paper savings. It is also light enough to take camping and backpacking. I'm glad REI has finally made a product like this available!
At home and traveling, you need this!
2 years later and still loving this product! We have a bidet toilet seat in one bathroom, and this bottle in another bathroom. It works wonderfully! Once you get used to being totally clean after doing number two.... You will never want to go back to just wiping. We take this when traveling to use in a hotel or wherever we're staying because they don't have a bidet. Ignore the silly complaints about leaking. When you're done with it ...just empty out the water and refill the next time you want to use it. No leaking whatsoever when using, when you tug the nozzle up all the way and it snaps into place. I use about a third of the bottle per washing, and just make a habit to refill it when you need to. If you're not sure about buying a bidet toilet seat, this is an awesome way to get that a try. That actually led to us buying a seat mounted bidet later after being so pleased with this product. Please ignore the goofy reviews of people that are unhappy with this product, it is solid, it works wonderfully, you'll use almost no toilet paper except to blot dry... Just about a no-brainer here! Your backside will thank you! Poo on!
Great way to hose off after a strong cup of coffee
I use a bidet at home so now I need to have one everywhere. Used this in the back country many times and it's nice to feel clean after pooping in a cat hole or wag bag. I also brought it when I went to visit family since they don't have a bidet. I saw some reviews mention that it leaks and I wonder why you'd carry this in your pack with water in it. Just fill it up before you duck behind your tree/bush/rock and blast away. Also, The Deuce trowel fits nicely around this bidet in the bag that comes with the Happy Bottom.
Perfect to clean up before putting on cycling shor
A bidet without installing hardware at home! Any cyclist spending lots of money on good cycling shorts is going to clean up their bum to avoid skid marks to make those shorts last and have a comfy ride. Not to mention feeling clean if you're in the bike saddle for hours! Years of riding and i just discovered this fabulous tush wash! And this saves tons of TP! A gentle but effective pressure washer only needs 2-3 pieces of TP to blot dry! This is the real deal! It does not leak when you pull the wand up all the way and I can feel it sorta lock into seal the water flow. No mess and after about 2 uses my aim was "spot" on so you dont need a towel to dry off! Yes this works indoors or on the trail. Keepin' it fresh and clean!
Use this daily.
I don't use this for camping, I use this at home. Got this to reduce the amount of toilet paper I use (since coming across toilet paper is more challenging with the pandemic). I think it works well and can't imagine going back to toilet paper alone. Bottom is much cleaner with a bidet than without. It's easy to use. I haven't experienced any leaks or anything, but I don't transport this around full of water. I fill it before doing my number 2. Also works well to keep things extra clean during that feminine time of month.
Great for the outdoor and In-home Use
The people providing negative reviews are for the silliest reasons. Its a bidet people. You put water in it and it squirts it out. This is not an iPhone. Super easy to use. I also use it to clean my toddlers who are undergoing potty training. This keeps them clean and avoids me having to clean up underwear with skid marks. It has a rubber durable feeling to the body, does not feel like cheap plastic. Heavy duty and i can see it lasting for easily over a decade with frequent use.
nice idea, horrible design
Giving this more than one star because it's better than TP alone, but the design is not well thought out. I live in a 100-year-old apartment with fragile plumbing that I don't want to risk damaging by installing a bidet, so I got quite a bit of experience with this product, as I used it everyday for several months before I found a better alternative. No matter how careful I was or how I held it, water splashed EVERYWHERE. And it wasn't all clean water, to put it mildly. I wish REI would carry other backpacking bidets - this is not the only one out there. (Eg, holey hiker, which works with any standard disposable water bottle and is much more well-designed.) I've kept this one as a backup but I can't recommend it.
Not great but still useful
This is decent and not too expensive but it is a long way off from a home bidet. It rinses off the surface but doesn't get sticky material. It is messy in a public restroom when used from the back, as the water bounces off. Perhaps if you were squatting in the woods with your clothes off, it could be good. Or good for menstrual and basic women's hygiene. But for a bowel movement, it just doesn't have the pressure needed to thoroughly clear the area.
