BB-20: Portable Bidet

I bought this instead of having a portable bidet installed on my three commodes. I have a lot of bladder infections so I need to be very clean after a B.M. -- in between showers and this does the job very well. I did not buy it to use just for travel. It is noisy, so use in a public place is not recommended by me and also because it would be difficult to fill with water in a public bathroom. Also, the bottle could be just a little bit bigger because I have to fill it twice but I like to be extra clean. I also wipe once after I use it the first time, then fill it and use again and then wipe. It also saves on toilet paper since you do not have to use a lot. Too much wiping with just toilet paper (without using the bidet) irritates my bottom. I have recommended this to my family and my doctor loved the idea to help stave off the bladder infections since they are caused by the E-coli from bowel movements and using this keeps you cleaner. Be sure the little ball in the bottom stays over the hole in the bottom or it will leak. Just shake the bittle a little and the ball will reposition itself in the little hole where it should be. A winner and I am so glad I found it!!

I have a back injury and cannot reach. I need help. I tried several portable bidet bottles. They didn't work. This works. The stream is strong enough. Most times I do it twice. Other people's complaints: It leaks when it is standing...well, there is a tiny hole in the base that lets air into the bottle when you are squeezing it, that is why it has a stronger stream than the others. There is a tiny metal ball that is supposed to fall into the tiny hole and stop it from leaking when the bottle is upright...so if yours is leaking...shake it, tap it so the metal ball gets loose. When in use you are supposed to put your index finger over the air hole until it is in position. Also some people complained that the stream wasn't strong...well, get a fire hose I guess, because this little bidet has a strong stream. Some complained that if you need to use to twice, that is impossible when using a stall in a public bathroom. That is true, and filling it up once at the public sinks can be embarrassing. But that is true for all bidet bottles so I don't know what to say. And someone said that you can't fill it up with water and carry it around. You can't carry ANY filled portable bottle bidet around...they are not sealed...they all have a spout.

Something that I really need to use from time to time. I didn't want to install a big expensive unit at home, and I needed something portable I can take on the road and have at work. For the most part, it is a good product and works better than any "makeshift" water bottle version I could come up with. Some serious thought went into the design of the nozzle (angle, spout, flow, etc). Also, the material of the blue bottle is pliable and quiet when squeezed. i can see years of use from it. Also, there is a "ball bearing" air valve built into the bottom of the bottle to allow air in, and does not leak when turned right side up. All in all, it cleans up the messiest situation. I would have given a fifth star, but only one little nit... the screw top leaks no matter how tight I screw it down. The washer is definitely in place, and I've tried light, medium and higher torque with no success. It could be the one design flaw or a "one off". Oh well, it isn't that big of a deal and still works great.

Despite being one of the smaller travel size bidets on the market, it is extremely well made and convenient to pack when traveling. When refilling, the bottle fits conveniently under an airline bathroom faucet. You should be aware that all of the other brands can do that. A user can easily conceal the bidet in one's pocket or purse to avoid any embarrassment when using the bathroom. It does not leak if the user takes the time to screw the sprayer on properly. The spray is strong and effective. I tried other personal bidets and found their sprayers to be weak or breakable. You can easily clean the bidet by running it under hot water and using soap. A quality made product.

I travel with it and appreciate that is light. The body of the bottle is soft and easy to squeeze too. There's also a little metal ball valve at the bottom where you can hold to regulate the water flow. The pressure is good because the bottle is easy to squeeze. My biggest gripe is that it leaks at the screw cap. Badly. I figured it is because the bottle material is so much softer than the white sprout material hence when you squeeze the bottle (even not deliberately) that area opens a gap and water spews out on all sides. My bathroom floor gets all wet and you lose a lot of precious water reserve. I agree with other reviewers that you have to use twice and if you don't have a sink within reach then it's really awkward. Mostly so in public toilets. I've tried a few travel bidets and I have no solution of how to resolve the small reservoir problem. This said, I think BLue Bidet should work harder at fixing the leakage problem from their bottles. Leakage from the bottom metal ball valve is forgivable but from the cap? No.

When I first saw the Blue Bidet, it seemed too small for my needs and on top of that, it looked like someone had stuck a gold thumbtack at the bottom. So I took it to work, filled an old orange juice container with hot water and took it to the bathroom with me. I was amazed at how thoroughly clean I felt. It cleaned the back and the front with a fluid yet powerful stream of hot water. That "thumbtack" helps regulate the flow of water. I loved it so much I got 4 more for family and friends.
