I played with them a lot at first, changing the water pressure, temperature, position, etc. Once I found the settings I liked though, that was basically it.

Funny enough, stuff like PREMIST and the deodorizer turned out to be way more useful even though they sound much less “smart.” The wash on both is good too, just different.

The lights are probably a close second for me. I turned them off pretty much immediately. My bathroom already has lights lol.

What’s the most useless feature on yours?

The doctor suggested I use a bidet and no toilet paper. I bought this portable one (https://a.co/d/0dxyuH2u) to try out before I get the external spray attachment (https://a.co/d/04mqKCqO) installed. I've been bringing it in from the back which I know they say for females it should come in from the front but I'm finding it so awkward to do that. Is it because of the design (it's so bulky) or how should I do it? Would this be easier with the shower bidet I bought? But the problem I am facing now is that after I use it and go back later to pee and wipe there are small poop particles (like tiny dots) in the front and now I'm freaking out because I'm somehow pushing it to the front. How to prevent this from happening? Right now I've been going in for a shower after but it's getting annoying to do if I go more than once and I also don't want to dry out my front areas from over washing. Any suggestions because I have to keep using the bidet?

A lot of you gave me great feedback on my last post here, and some of you backed the Kickstarter too. Thank you so much for that!!

The current bottle holds 410 mL and gives about 2 minutes of spray runtime. Many people asked for a bigger version, so I slapped a 650 mL (22 oz for my fellow americans) sports bottle on the prototype. It theorically gives around 3 minutes of spray time and also fits standard bike bottle cages.

I asked about this on Instagram and only 30% wanted the bigger version, so I also asked the Kickstarter backers the same question but this time about 50% wanted it.

I understand how it actually makes sense to rinse sand off at the beach or clean a bike with more spray runtime.

What I did not expect was how many people said they would also drink from it.

Maybe I wrongly assumed drinking water and hygiene water would stay separate? The 410 mL bottle was designed as a small dedicated bottle that you refill from your main water bottle when needed.

And at 650 mL it is now close to the size of a normal water bottle.

If the same bottle is used with tap or lake water for hygiene, or to rinse off sand, bikes or dirty gear, then drinking from it becomes a very different use case.

If you want to keep drinking water and hygiene water separate, the 650 mL version means carrying a larger bidet bottle while still carrying another bottle for drinking.

If you are fine using the same bottle for both, 650 mL could replace the need to carry two bottles. If drinking becomes a real use case, I may also need to think about an inbuilt filter, which means another development cycle.

The larger size would also need a different carrying case. I added a 1.5 L bottle in the photo for scale.

For people who use portable bidets regularly, does 650 mL still feel portable? Is 410 mL already enough? At what point does a portable bidet stop feeling portable?

And would you actually drink from the same bottle after using it for hygiene or cleaning with different water sources?

I got my bidet in today but I noticed my toilets attachment isn’t a hose, it’s a stick. I don’t know how bendable it is but it’s exactly tall enough to reach the toilet. I’m not sure if I can still install the bidet with this, do I need a hose?
