Reddit mentions of Brondell GoSpa Travel Bidet GS-70 Easy-to-use Portable Bidet with Convenient Nozzle Storage, Travel Bag, 400 ml Capacity, and Angled Nozzle Spray

I haven't gotten quite that desperate yet, but I may eventually try out one of the portable models they have on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B008CSDKSQ.

Edit: To follow-up on your comment about how Americans can live without it, it's mostly a matter of ignorance. Nobody here seems to know that there's a better way. Once someone tries it though, they can rarely ever go back.

Yep. I really hope they catch on -- literally everyone I know who has tried it has loved it.

I've tried wetting toilet paper when I'm traveling, but it's just nowhere near the same. HOLY SHIT I was just typing "maybe I should come up with some sort of travel bidet," and did a quick google.

It is a thing and it may change my life.

Backcountry bidet, but only for camping where there's no toilets. No TP garbage and cleans your nether regions really well! I have the Brondell GoSpa

I bought this and I'm not ashamed. Well, maybe a bit because it's girly light-purple... My reasoning is that it seems like America is the only country really repulsed by the idea, but it solves the cleanliness and any monkeybutt/smell issues, and weighs about the same as a half roll of TP. It's waterproof and reusable, can be sorta crushed, works in any weather (summer or winter), and is a one-time-cost... no resupply.

Was in Japan over a year ago, and my butt fell in love with the bidet toilet seats. When I returned home, I bought an Izen 5. Great. Before the Izen arrived, and for traveling, I use this. Much rather have the warm water from this, compared to an icy squirt.

After using this combo, the direction of my butt crack is changing...it's becoming a smile. (Hope I didn't offend.)

I hate the wet wipes thing too. I'm super happy to see another travel bidet user here. IMO, it's the best way to keep yourself clean out on the trail.

I use a different one than you do, and it weighs in at 65 grams. I can either use a sheet or two of TP afterwards to dry off, or simply pull up my merino boxers and let the water disperse into them - they're usually dry within a few minutes.

Brondell Travel Bidet on Amazon

i carry this with me to work.

I would ditch the wet wipes altogether. Even if they are unscented, they still contain detergents and other things that might be upsetting your skin. (For example, this is how I found out I am allergic to aloe vera.) Start using a bidet to clean your backside instead. If you don’t want to install a bidet onto your toilet, get a travel bidet. Cheap and easy to use.

This. You don’t need to talk to your landlord about it at all. It’s not the same as painting or putting holes in the wall, which are permanent changes the landlord has to fix after you leave. Those bidet attachments are easily installed and removable, so the landlord will never know.

Also, ditch the restaurant plan. Unless you are backed by investors, own a patent to bidet, and include installation, no one is going to take you seriously. A much cheaper and more convenient option would be to get a travel bidet bottle like this one from Amazon. You can take it with you wherever you go.

Also, an all liquid diet will still make you poop but it will be diarrhea unless you find a way to get sufficient fiber. Unfortunately I am speaking from experience! So ditch that plan as well.

I have one of these. It's a lifesaver for camping. You could most likely use non-potable water without ill effect.

Other options include scrap paper and reusable rags (boil them).

You can get portable, hand held bidets on line too, though the maximum pressure of the water stream is less, like this

I had 3 fistulas: 1 low, 2 high. They did a fistulotomyb the low one and put draining setons in the 2 high ones. That was 5 months ago.

I bathe twice per day, each time for minimum 30 minutes but often for 90-120 minutes per bath. I read books, check reddit on my phone, watch videos, etc. I'm trying to jerry-rig some setup where I'd feel secure having my laptop in there so I could work during the day. It's hard to overstate how good a hot soak feels.

I also have a bidet on my toilet and a travel bidet which I take with me whenever I'm not home. I use panty liners to deal with drainage and change those 3-4 times per day.

I'm so grateful to have flexibility with my job where I can work from home on days I don't feel well. This experience would be much worse if I had limitations on my hygiene.

Other than the fistulas and 5-6 watery bowel movements per day I'm not overly symptomatic (subject to diet) so I'm grateful for that.

Started remicade and methotrexate a month ago. GI & colorectal surgeon want to give it 9-12 months and see if the fistulas are closing up.

Portable bidet.

This one

And This one

The first one I find has a bit more pressure, but both get the job done. The first one is more portable obviously. All I have to do is get my hands on a 20oz bottle. I've literally cleaned my bum with straight Dasani water (cause we all know it's not worth drinking).

Here's the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008CSDKSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using it for less than a week, so I haven't made a final decision on how I'd rate it. So far it gets the job done, though.

I do the bidet too. Grabbed one of these that i keep in my backpack for work poops. No ragrets.

First tip is to shower less.


How to shower less:
Buy a portable bidet to wash over the toilet. This thing makes you feel so fresh. You can fill it with warm water and soap. Also just wonderful during periods. I feel like everyone who menstrates or poop should have one regardless of health!

Wash hair in sink, some people use dry shampoo, I've shaved my head or done an undercut so that it is easier to manage (Plus it jives with me)


Wash armpits, etc with a facecloth at the sink.


Tips for when you have to shower:


I sit on the floor of the tub. I have a towel laid out on the floor for when I get out and need to lay there to recover my strength.
I have a grab bar in the shower. Honestly with weak arms and weak everything in the bath, my partner still helps me out of the tub.


If you are helping:


Make it sexy/intimate or silly vs caregiver-y? Say you want to soap her up, give her a head massage if you are shampooing. My partner helps towel me off sometimes so I can get to the couch to lay down sooner.

Tempted to buy one of these bad boys

I bought one of these portable bidets for post pregnancy, but now that toilet paper usage is getting ridiculous, maybe I should just keep a little towel by the toilet and use this instead of toilet paper!

I don't live in a dorm, but I use this when traveling

Wrong. Travel bidet

Sure! So this is a bidet:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008CSDKSQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499647593&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=travel+bidet

What you do is instead of using toilet paper, you squirt your butt with water by squeezing the bidet bottle. This eliminates the need for TP as it'll clean just as effectively.

Use a travel bidet like this

I use a portable bidet https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-GS-70-Portable-Convenient-Capacity/dp/B008CSDKSQ

It works great and I’m able to keep clean down there so much easier with my skin tags now. You just fill it up and squeeze and it works amazingly and you can put it away and take it out for each use it’s very cheap too and well worth it much easier than installing one anyway and cheaper!

If you're ever in the need of a bidet, go on amazon and search up a portable bidet. I got one when i moved to North America!

I use the specific 'feminine' wipes that you find in the drugstore.

If you are going to use a water bottle - just buy a peri-bottle or a personal bidet...so that you can have a little more control of the water.

you're welcome!

I bought this from Amazon:

Now I never have to worry about bidet-less bathrooms anymore. I've used it in airplanes, malls and even hotels that don't have bidets. Capacity is a little lacking (only 500 ml) but you can always bring with you a 1L bottle of mineral water for stall refilling or just walk over to the sink with your pants down for refilling (not recommended).

Also, bring tissue. Wet wipes clog toilets if you decide to flush them down.

You're welcome.

I use this bidet at home and love it.

For public bathrooms, you can get a travel bidet, like this one.

I usually just use some toilet paper that I've dipped into the toilet (after flushing of course!), and alternate between wet and dry wipes until it's clean.

True. A non-ultralight luxury is the Brondell Travel Bidet

Bought this and no longer travel without it Brondell GS-70 GoSpa Travel Bidet https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B008CSDKSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BMIZCbFAD49KC

This one

I replied to another poster as well.

It's this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-GS-70-Portable-Convenient-Capacity/dp/B008CSDKSQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=4SMYEIMTXCTN&keywords=travel+bidet&qid=1564154096&s=gateway&sprefix=travel+bidet%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-3

It's tough to clean. I have a really skinny bottle brush that I double over. Otherwise I love it, especially when I'm travelling.

Amazon is a great place to check! I picked up this one and I've been using it for years now. It goes on all my travels. It's not necessarily compact but for the sake of feeling happy, healthy and clean, I'll take it!

I assume cleaning myself, not my cookware (no cleanup in FBC method, just pack out the bag).

I used (and LOVED) this bidet. No TP to pack out. On the downside, you must wash your fingers afterward. I found the bidet bottle had just enough left in it to rinse my camp soap off my hand.

The spray nozzle fits on a smart bottle, but on the "don't cross the streams" principle, so I used the dedicated bottle. It has a nice one-way valve that allows air back in after each squeeze and is the perfect capacity.

They make travel bidets, they're basically squeeze bottles with specialized nozzles:

I have made it my life's mission to go forth and spread the gospel of the holy church of the bidet.

I got you...

Oh hey if you, your friend, or anyone else here is interested in learning more about staying fresh below the belt while minimizing waste, consider a travel bidet, such as this one. Works great! It's a solid replacement for your bidet at home (if you have one). I don't have the exact wait, but I think it's only a few ounces.

I use a portable bidet! Theyre available on amazon for pretty cheap (they last a really long time): Brondell GS-70 GoSpa Travel Bidet https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B008CSDKSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2VBqzbAG7BYEC

Well actually...

Why not try a travel bidet?

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-GS-70-Portable-Convenient-Capacity/dp/B008CSDKSQ
It's a very nice thing to have! The Europeans know what they are doing.
Even better are bidet attachments for your toilet that attach to the water line, which are perhaps $30-$40, but I have not gotten one.

Or you could bring a baby bidet!

Or better yet, a packable bidet

I obviously recommend them both. The stool is nice for changing your experience with pooping.

Adding the bidet on top of that will cause you to wonder why you have put up with paper all your life.

I highly recommend the Squatty Potty.

There are bottles like this that let you try the bidet out first. I, personally, recommend filling it up with cold water, If you can take cold tap water, you can deal with the bidet at any time of the year. After two seconds, it's not like you'll notice the cold.

A bidet and a Squatty Potty can change your life. Obviously, you have to be ready to accept these changes, but from my experience, they are totally worth the effort to get used to.

Ok fuck all these dudes with their pussy ass little crystal. Everyone who's had major sweat knows that shit don't work for shit. It's for little girly sweat glands.

Here's the real guide.

1. Buy a bidet. The primary reason your ass and genitals stank is because you didn't wipe well enough. With this, you will. Buy a portable one too if you really need it.
   
   
2. Get the highest strength antiperspirant wipes you can. This is what I use. You're not supposed to, but you can wipe it all over your body and you won't sweat there. So do that. It takes about 2 wipes. Make sure you hit your genitals. Do this every couple of days.
   
   
3. Wear deodorant, you don't need one with an antiperspirant.
   
   Unlike what these mouth breathers say, killing your ability to sweat is far more important than what your fucking diet is.
