Full disclosure. I really wanted to name this bidet the Purple Pooper. My family did not let me and said enough people will get the Prince references. So Purple Rain it is. Because when you Got the Look on your face that you gotta go, you want to be strutting through the campsite with the Purple Rain in hand.
PLEASE NOTE:
When you order a bidet there is a section on the order form where you can add a note. Yesterday I had another customer leave a beautiful yet slightly creepy note that simply said, "I love you." People who order the Purple Rain Bidet commonly express their love in the note section. Thank you for leaving notes expressing your love. The Purple Rain bidet tends to have that effect on people. But please keep in mind your love might be misplaced. The purple bidet is so sleek and bright that it usually sets one's heart aflutter at first sight. You need to question if it is love that you're feeling inside? Or just the thrill of a cleaner backside?
Here is what one customer has said about using a Holey Hiker Bidet:
The Holey Hiker Bidet is officially our new favorite item to take camping!!! While it was used for its intended purpose several times (and actually very much enjoyed), more often than not I found the kids using it to cool off, give a lizard or toad friend a little water in their bucket, wash hands or faces, spray off dirty dishes, rinse a toothbrush, etc. We found ourselves reaching for this little product over and over. So much so, I used an empty Coke bottle to make a second bidet for its actual intended purpose. It’s entirely sanitary and not at all gross. This is absolutely, hands down, a fantastic product. Every camper, hiker and backpacker needs one as well as every parent. Well done!

Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to Holey Hiker Bidets! I'm Paul Bogush the designer, creator, lead tester, and CEO (Chief Elimination Officer) of Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidets. After using a few other bidets I realized that not one had all the features I was looking for. I wanted to create one that was durable, easy to use, had low water usage, and of course would give my butt the perfect stream of water. I decided to start designing and testing my own in December 2020. Each time I went out I made a small change and then came home and fired up the 3D printer to make the improvements based on my experience and the experiences and feedback from testers all around the country. After one last outing on the Appalachian Trail in June of 2020, I had what I thought was the perfect backpacking bidet...but testers started to report that it would crack after about a year's worth of use. After another year of prototyping and experimenting with different plastics the final prototype was finally made in July of 2021 and sales to our waiting list and anyone who happen to stumble upon the website began. Our "grand opening" finally occurred on November 19, 2021.
In June of 2023 we closed the shop and I set out to improve the design and make it stronger, lighter, and improve the spray. I decided to use a injection molding process which meant getting a crash course in how to take my 3D printed design and convert it to a design that could be injection molded. For those of you that design and make, it was going from Tinkercad to SolidWorks :) Finally in January the current version was finally approved, mold created, and the first 25 prototypes were made and tested. The current version of the bidet started being sold in March of 2024 and are made at a family run business right here in Connecticut. It is a one man show so please be patient with shipping and correspondence.
We are the only seller of the Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidet. All other sites selling four-hole bidets are selling imitations! Feel free to point them out and I'll gladly tell you why their imitation design is inferior.

How it’s Made
After four years of prototyping and manufacturing bidets in a corner of my house, I am now working with a local family-owned plastic molded injection business to make the plastic part of the bidets with final assembly at my house. The plastic injected into molds is manufactured in Texas. The O-rings are FDA grade seals. It is not a hardware store o-ring, it is designed to last years of adventure. If you purchased a bidet before March of 2024, there will be some slight changes you might notice with the current version:
It now weighs only 4 grams
The spray pattern is slightly different. I think you'll notice that you get clean faster.
The arrow on top is more prominent. Please note that the bidet does not come with a painted arrow. A Sharpie will last multiple trips, but your favorite nail polish will last a long, long time.
The bidets are designed with Smartwater bottles in mind but work with pretty much any plastic "water bottle" except for the very cheap store brand or dollar store bottles. This is the original 4 hole bidet. Others may have ripped of the design but not perfected it. THESE ARE NOT 3D printed. They are plastic mold injected. 3D printed bidets will be cheaper. But your butt wants the best :) The last thing you need is for your bidet to crack halfway through a trip!

Shop Policies
Please keep in mind that you will receive no cutesy note or extra packing material to cut down on waste. You will get just a bidet in a little box wrapped in a single piece of paper :)
If your bidet malfunctions or gets destroyed by a bear within 900 days of buying it, we will send out a new bidet to you. If it breaks after 900 days and you have a really good story about how it got destroyed, please share it with us. If it's interesting enough, I'll share it at the dinner table with the family and have them vote on whether a free replacement should be sent out.
We package the bidets the weekend after receiving the order and get them in the mail the following Monday...usually. Like 98% of the time.
You will be sent a confirmation email with the shipping # after it is packed.
