Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail this year. Just bought one. Convinced me.

The Holey Hiker bidet is worth way more than its weight! Thank you for allowing me to test it out.

Congratulations on the official release of your great product! As one of the testers, I know your bidet is the best one out there. I committed to using this bidet exclusively on my section hike this year of the Continental Divide Trail and was never disappointed. I did find one bottle here in the West, Aquavista, that was a bit difficult to insert the bidet and concerned that I might damage the O-ring, wetting it or not. I also had done a lot of markings on bottles during testing and after a very short time I was also using around 100mm of water each time. Thanks again!

I'm going to have to throw this quote on the website :-)

A long overdue review! I purchased Paul's Holey Hiker Bidet about a year ago....works great, and I'm a TP-to-bidet convert! And Paul was great: the shipment was lost in the mail. Paul was immediately responsive by email and resent not one, but 2 bidets! A good product from a good man.

That’s awesome! Congratulations Paul!

Been waiting for this! Your videos helped to ‘convert’ me to a bidet in the backcountry. Better for your bum, better for you, better for the environment. Congrats on getting this done!

this is exciting and scary at the same time :)

Just bought my bidet. Always happy to support a local Ct neighbor. Good luck!

Our family was happy to have our Holey Hiker bidet while backpacking in Alaska. It was super easy for all of us to use and we felt great about not leaving any paper waste, especially being in such a beautiful and pristine location. It's lightweight and it works great. Even before Alaska we use the HHB on all of our hiking trips. When visiting little Caribbean islands where septic and water usage is an issue, I bring along our bidet to use much less toilet paper whether we're camping or staying in a house. Thanks for sharing your genius with the rest of us Paul!

Can’t recommend this enough. Game changer, especially when backpacking with my young kids.

Half way thru the video I ordered one. Thanks

Congratulations Paul, and props for really putting them through a lot of testing to have a high quality product :)

The best backpacking bidet period! I was one of the testers and Paul really did his homework. To answer one of the commenter's question, yes, the arrow makes it so you can orient it in the dark. I use mine every day at home, plus on hikes and backpacking trips. Everyone should convert to these! The best! Save trees, save money, cleaner undies and hind end! Get some. One for each bathroom and each pack. Scott Marckx

Love what you’re doing!! Ordered mine!! I will say though, I was charged shipping when it says free shipping on the items and the whistles were $2 instead of $1 after adding the bidet to my cart :) . All in all a great purchase though! Excited for the whistle too!

I noticed the problem with the shipping on the whistles...ug. Apparently I forgot to check the little box that said free shipping...I had to go back today and refund everybody's money :) refund should get back to you in a few days and everything is packed up and ready to be shipped out tomorrow. Thank you for the order!

Paul, I'll be starting NOBO on the AT at Harpers Ferry around May 16 with...get this...my Holey Hiker Bidet! In fact, I'm taking the new one you sent along with my old original one as a backup. 2 is 1 and 1 is none. My goal is to make it to CT so would love to meet you somewhere on the trail. I'll be Vlogging as I did last year. This year, I'm healed up from my quadruple bypass and raring to go but I don't have all summer. I'll go as far as I can in around 6 weeks and then will look for a ride back to PA to pick up my car when I'm done. My goal is to make it to CT but time will tell. Hope to see and meet you out there on the AT! John (OSAT) from MI

It has been quite an eventful last couple years :) Things that should hit a family over years all hit ours within a short span of time! And my little bidet idea that I thought would lead to a sale or two each week has ended up being much more. I am actually considering putting the shop in vacation mode this summer. Maybe then have time to film a few videos! So all will be ok, and I really appreciate you asking.

Paul ... I signed up for the 2022 PCT and going to go Bidet! I've been trying to find the best one to get but they all seem straightforward. Do you think your bidet mechanics (design) are better than the others on the market? I'm sure you do ... I imagine you did a comparison study in all your testing ... lol. Also, is that raised arrow very noticeable to feel with my fingers at night; I was wondering how tactile it is so I know if I'm aiming the nozzles in the right direction as opposed to squirting my leg? I was also wondering if a prominent orientation nub could be of any benefit, maybe, so your thumb could feel to indicate that the nozzles/arrow pointed in the right direction. Of course, this advice is coming from an inexperienced bidet user, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.

All good, seems to work, however, how can I buy it in Switzerland? Would love to pay the postage fees and even pay something for the causes you support. The design is the best I have seen so far.

Yep, in the description for each bidet there is a link for international shipping info. If you don't see it let me know and when I get home I'll get on my computer and paste it into a comment. The Swiss Alps was one of the international testing grounds!
