First time trying out a portable bidet. I like it and would recommend to others.
I seen some reviews about leaking out of the sprayer even with the airlock pressed. I noticed that water will leak out if I am squeezing the container (even slightly). So i plug with my pointer finger as well as hold very lightly around the edges without squeezing as much as possible with my thumb and ring finger, and water doesn't leak out. Even if it does leak, it doesn't bother me. I only need to hold that airlock for 2 seconds anyways. It's just a little bit of water.
I assumed water would leak out of the airlock when the container was filled and set upright with the airlock on the bottom, but if anything, it is super minimal. I tested it, tapping the airlock and occassionally squeezing the bottle. After 15m there was no water dripping like i thought there would be, just a very little bit of wetness on my finger, maybe a half-drop if anything. If I were really worried about possible water leakage, and had no choice but to store the water in the bottle for a longer time, I'd probably just store it in a sealed half gallon ziplock and make sure its upright with the sprayer extended (or if leakage was really an issue for the situation, remove the cap and tightly rubberband saran wrap over the top and cover the airlock with a tiny piece of duct tape).
I seen some grumbling about the included pouch being labeled as BioBidet, which may or may not cause embarrasment for some (not for me; I'd say, why yes, I prefer to be fresh and clean, why not? You should try it). I think the pouch is excellent and a nice touch, I appreciate very much that it is included, especially to store both pieces in a perfect-sized breathable fabric pouch so that the residual water can evaporate. If I were to be so bothered by the BioBidet logo, I would simply just turn the pouch inside out when around others and use it that way. It works perfectly fine inside out, and is a shiny soft silver with no logo. Easy.
I like the large amount of water that it holds. It is a lot. It had a decent stream with no pressure applied; a stronger stream with pressure. The plastic is very soft and easily squeezable, maybe even easier to press than those tall generic red ketchup squeezers with cone tips.
Ideas for improvements for future designs: One thing I imagine is if BioBidet would come out with a type of sturdy yet non-bulky housing for the bottom half of the palm TP70, kind of like an Otterbox for a phone, for example, where you can firmly grip the outer housing without squeezing the actual container inside, it wouldn't leak (or as much) when tipped and airlocked because the container itself wouldn't be squeezed. I would also imagine if BioBidet could have an airlock that firmly secures/ unsecures with a small flip of a simple low-profile switch, or a way to make the airlock with a small twist to open when ready to use and a small twist to close, which would be better than the housing idea to address water sprayer or airlock leakage issues. It would also have customers more confident in storing water in the BioBidet for longer treks.
Thank you.
