About this Product
Introducing the Purple Rain. It is the bidet that That Will Make You Go Crazy after using it just once! This is a limited edition. ONLY 400 WERE MADE.
When doves cry and you're far from porcelain thrones, reach for Purple Rain - the portable bidet that's so fresh and so clean, it'll have you partying like it's 1999! This princely purple attachment transforms your ordinary water bottle into a cleaning powerhouse that won't leave your butt crack the color of a raspberry beret after a week of hiking.
Key benefits:
A little over 4g, it's like 4.3, we're working on getting a medical grade scale
Precision spray that hits the spot better than a guitar solo
Purple color so vivid, it would make The Artist Formerly Known as Prince proud
Eco-friendly alternative to wipes - because nothing compares 2 a clean behind
and the Purple Rain would be a great compliment to your Purple Rain Skirt

Elevate your outdoor experience with Purple Rain.
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!

Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidets
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.
In the USA you can also purchase Holey Hiker Bidets at Garage Grown Gear

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!
