About this Product
The Holey Hiker Bidet has thru hiked the PCT, the CDT, the AT, the Camino de Santiago, and many other long-distance trails around the world.
One of the rules for being a successful thru hiker literally has the Holey Hiker Thru Hiker Bidet in it.
Rule 1: Start by investing in the latest high-tech gear... or just duct tape everything together and hope for the best. It's an adventure, right?
Rule 2: Embrace the 'Snack Attack.' Remember, there's no shame in eating your body weight in trail mix... it's just fuel for your epic journey!
Rule 3: Master the 'Trailside Tantrum.' Because sometimes, the best way to conquer a mountain is by having a good old-fashioned argument with it.
Rule 4: Master the 'Sock Shuffle.' You'll quickly learn the importance of rotating your socks to avoid creating a new species of foot fungus.
Rule 5: Embrace the 'Trail Fashion.' Nothing says 'long-distance hiker' like wearing the same outfit for weeks on end and rocking that distinct aroma of adventure."
Step 7: Practice your 'Campfire Karaoke.' Because nothing brings people together like horribly off-key renditions of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads.'
Step 8: Finally, remember to always pack your Holey Hiker Thru Hiker Bidet. You can't carry hopes and dreams in your backpack, but you can carry a Holey Hiker Thru Hiker Bidet. A stinky, chaffed, and slimy butt is not your destiny. Control your destiny with a Holey Hiker.

Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidets
Bethany, CT
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.
The Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidet is the four-hole bidet. Please be aware that there are inferior imitations being sold. Feel free to point them out and I'll gladly tell you why their imitation design is inferior.

How it’s Made
After four wild years of mad scientist-level tinkering in my basement lab (aka the corner of my storage room), I'm stoked to unveil the Holey Hiker Bidet 2.0 - the lean, mean, cleaning machine that's about to revolutionize how you get that poop out of your crack.!
Why should you ditch your 1.0 for this bad boy? Let me spray it out for you:
Featherlight at just 4 grams - we are talking holding a baby bird weight
Intense 4 hole spray pattern - get squeaky clean in record time. More hiking, less wiping!
Can't-miss-it arrow - now more prominent than ever. Color it with a Sharpie, or go full glam with some sparkly nail polish.
Created with injection molding - because your backside deserves a bidet that will last
Your new little buddy’s soulmate is the Smartwater bottle, but it'll cozy up to most plastic bottles out there. We're not snobs, but we do have standards - so maybe skip the dollar store specials, sometimes they are a little loose.
Remember, folks - this is the OG 4-hole wonder. Accept no imitations! Sure, there are 3D printed copycats out there, but do you really want to trust your trail hygiene to some other plastic pretender? We started by 3D printing them and we stopped for a reason. I still have a couple hundred in the garage if you want some. Your butt deserves the best, and the best is the Holey Hiker Bidet!
We're trying hard to keep it local:
Texas-sourced plastic
Family-owned injection molding in CT
New Hampshire-procured o-rings (but we're on the hunt for a US manufacturer - hook us up!)
Connecticut-based final assembly (aka my laboratory)
Recycled book page packaging - because even your bidet should be well-read
No fancy packaging here - we're all about that minimalist, trail-ready vibe. So no fancy notes or stickers…unless you want one. Just ask. We're still on the quest for the holy grail of eco-friendly shipping labels, so stay tuned!
Ready to elevate your outdoor crack cleaning game? Grab a Holey Hiker 2.0 and prepare for the cleanest adventure of your life!

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.
If you do not receive a bidet within 2 weeks of ordering please contact us!
