I was bidet-curious for a long time before I finally decided to buy a bidet attachment for my apartment. Until then, I had never used one before and the little I knew about them I learned from videos on social media of people encountering them for the first time IRL while traveling to countries where they are more common.
Almost instantly, I knew I would never go back to regular ol’ toilet paper. I felt cleaner after going to the restroom, was buying less toilet paper, and having less discomfort that often accompanies frequent trips to the bathroom.

How the Tushy Travel Bidet Works
The $25 Travel Bidet is a collapsible 11-fluid-ounce silicone bottle. When collapsed, it is about 2.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall. When fully expanded, it is 5.75 inches tall. The bidet comes with a small black pouch for storage and a carabiner to attach it to your bag.
Before you enter a bathroom stall, you unscrew the top, expand the bottle, and fill it with water from the bathroom sink. After you do your business, you flip the nozzle up, aim for your butt, and squeeze. If one squirt of water is not enough, you release and re-squeeze for a second stream of water. The last step is just emptying the bottle of any leftover water and then replacing it in its storage bag. There is no need for batteries or recharging because it is a totally manual bidet.
