        You can literally do this cheaper by slicing into the side of an existing bottle cap.

        And if you’re going to argue that this is meant to allow the bottle to be reused, I can bring up a hygiene issue why you’re using the same bottle on your ass as well as drink out of.

          tons of people use this kind of bidet for camping, it’s not like you’re putting it in your ass. The water can spray like 10 feet, so you can hold it far enough away that hygiene isn’t an issue.

          I am curios about using an old cap, my guess is it would be tough to get the stream to angle up (with the water bottle upside down), but I’ll have to try it next time I get a plastic bottle

            I use a special battery powered travel bidet and keep it completely separated from all my stuff in its own hermetic bag in its own compartment in my luggage.

            The fact that you are casual about the hygienics regarding water touching your ass and backsplash implies to me you are a fucking disgusting person to use the same bottle to drink out of.

              Sounds like you haven’t caught the ultralight bug then, must be all that hygiene 🤷

                  No, I’m making fun of people who are obsessed with ultralight (almost like a disease or virus), while also pointing out why people want something like this (ultralight backpacking).

                  Also poking a bit of fun at you (not maliciously) because if lots of people use these or similar designs in order to reuse the water bottle for drinking and they don’t get sick from it, then it’s probably not that big of a deal. No harm meant tho, if it’s not something you’re comfortable with that’s fine 👍

                    Apologies, I have no idea why something we discussed earlier set me off and I came off sounding rude to you.
