!WARNING! Graphic language -- be prepared for a discreet discussion of the subject matter. • Time for a frank discussion on a sensitive issue, cleansing ourselves after defecation. "I can't reach back there anymore with either hand. I need a toilet / wiping solution." SUMMARY • This product works great. I have just ordered my third one in about three years. Now, also, I'm going to click through here on Amazon and order another back up to have on hand for when this one fails. Also, I will get yet even another unit to take along in the vehicle. When nature calls, you have to be prepared and ready in advance to handle the urgent circumstances, if you know what I mean. REASON FOR PURCHASE > Due to a torn shoulder muscle from the three heads of the deltoid to both heads of the bicep hanging on by a thin sinew, surgery is mandated. Inability to reach back there for wiping with toilet tissue. Using the other hand is too much of a challenge. That brings to mind a conversation with my father back in 1962: DAD: How do you wipe yourself? THE THREE KIDS: With my right hand, Daddy! DAD: You should use toilet paper! • This "Portable Bidet Sprayer and Travel Bidet with Hand Held Bidet Bottle for Personal Cleansing Use" product is somewhat inopportune and funky although it works. One must squirt, spray, squirt the rectal/anal and peritoneal area until clean. It takes some adjustment and after a few times, the new skill will be attained. THE BOTTOME LINE • Get one. Better yet, get at least two if not THREE to have a spare, plus to have one in your car, as well. • The Portable Bidet Sprayer and Travel Bidet with Hand Held Bidet Bottle for Personal Cleansing Use is better for the planet. No toilet paper is needed. Spray away, get clean, use the divider on the tip to abrade and scratch the anus as needed, spray and squirt some more water there, add a bit of shampoo to the bottle from time to time for a truly cleansing spray, rinse and repeat. Congratulations! You knew you could do it all along. END Read more
Very helpful and easy to use for my elderly mom. Read more
I use this bulb every B M to clean myself since my obesity makes it hard to reach and clean with T P. I add to the warm water a feminine hygiene soap that gives a cleaner feeling and freshness. I still use T P to dry off but not nearly as much as no spray wash. It took several times of use before I became proficient with not getting my clothes wet before I positioned the bottle's rod in the right direction. My bottle does not leak. Read more
I really loved the clean feeling from using this. The little airlock makes all the difference! After I got this, I thought I'd try a smaller one (thinking it would be more discreet at work) but found the smaller ones don't have the airlocks so you have to keep squeezing. That wasn't nearly as easy to use and with the smaller bottle, I had to refill. I decided this bottle resembled a sports water bottle enough (as long as I covered the top of the "straw!" LOL!) With the airlock, you just cover it with your finger, get the bottle in position, uncover and it sprays until you cover the hole again. No effort & no awkwardness. Since you just have to position & hold the bottle while seated, this would be ideal for anyone who has trouble getting clean with TP. So glad I found this product & highly recommend! Read more
The portable bidet gets the job done, but it's too big. It is not easy to handle, because of the extra Long nozzle that gets in the way during the job, plus it leaks because the long nozzle is rectractable/moveable. It leaks from the base of the nozzle. By the time you're done you're also drenched. A smaller version with NO retractable nozzle (to prevent the leaks) would be better. However it is easy to store because of the retractable nozzle. I am going to buy something else smaller. Read more
This thing leaks, making it completely impractical. It has a little air hole at the bottom that you're supposed to put your finger over over while you're flipping it over so the water doesn't leak out of the nozzle, but it's still comes out of the nozzle. I can't imagine why in the world there needs to be an air hole at all since it appears other models of this don't have it. I have to hold it upside down over the sink for a few seconds while some of the water shoots out until it gains some kind of equilibrium and then it stops. But you have to hold it exactly right or it starts leaking out the nozzle again. My toilet is right next to the sink so this is easy but water still gets everywhere. I don't know how you'd use this if you weren't in reaching distance of your sink. The bottle also leaks out from the bottom air hole if you leave any water in it when you're done and sit it on the counter. I've tried tightening the top of the nozzle and that doesn't seem to help either issue. Water gets everywhere. I'll be asking for a refund and looking for something else. Update: I just wanted to further express what a garbage product this is. If you don't hold the bottle at the exact right angle when you are flipping it over water spurts everywhere. Imagine what happens when you're removing it and havent used all the water. I can't complain enough about this. Read more
I am 5' 2' and weigh 250 pounds. Sometime it difficult to reach around to my backside. With this I dont need to. Just fill it with warm water, keep it at a horizontal position enough so that it doesnt drip, lift up my tummy a little bit, and slide it in to spray myself. Its wonderful! I dont even use toilet paper any more. I wear depends, so I dont need to dry off real good. This is perfect. I use a cherry cough medicine bottle to fill it one I have the warm water running, as it doesnt fit under the spout. I keep them together under the sink in the bathroom, and take them with me everywhere I go. I love it!! Read more
