Buyer’s Guide
Use of batteries
Some units require the use of batteries while some are controlled merely by squeezing the water reservoir bottle. Portable bidets that are manually operated are better suited for users who have limited access to electricity and are more reliable since you can readily use it anytime without worrying if it has a charge or not.
Material
Portable bidets are commonly made of plastic. Make sure you go for a bidet that is thick enough to be durable but still soft enough to squeeze when spraying. Airlock vents are a useful feature too if you want the spray to be consistent throughout the cleaning process. It is also advisable to choose BPA-free plastic and medical-grade materials for the bidet bottle so you can ensure that these are toxic-free and environmentally-friendly.
Design
Bidet bottles have different shapes and sizes. Slim-type bottles are easier to hold for kids and might be easier to handle too for individuals with gripping problems.
The volume of water
The size of a bidet will usually be relative to the amount of water it can hold. If you find that you need lots of water for washing, you might want to consider bottles that can hold 400ml of water or more. If you require a smaller bidet though, just note that you will have to compromise on the amount of water too.
Conclusion
Portable bidets are a cheap and effective tool if you want to keep yourself clean when you are outside of your home. They provide an eco-friendly alternative to tissue paper and are also more hygienic. They are easy to clean and easy to use for all ages. Portable bidets are perfect for people who need to go out often and those who need to leave their homes for extended periods of time.
