KISTENMACHER TRAVEDELITY, Portable Bidet Sprayer, white, for outdoor, camping trips or traveling

• For example, there are portable spray bottles with a special water nozzle. The bottles, made of flexible plastics, are filled with water, and pressing the bottle generates a water stream at the outlet nozzle.
• In the era of high-performance batteries and USB charging options, this principle has been expanded to battery-operated bidets with an integrated pump. The water stream in these bidets is no longer manually generated but rather by a built-in water pump. The built-in batteries can be recharged via a USB charging port.
• Some travel bidets do not have their own water tank and therefore need to be connected to the water supply. The bidet spray, along with an extra-long hose and a special adapter, is delivered for this purpose. This adapter allows the bidet to be connected to most common plumbing fixtures (e.g., the basin faucet next to the toilet). This type of travel bidet is very popular among international travelers from the Arab region. In many international destinations such as Europe or the USA, fixed bidets or bidet sprays attached to toilets are rare. To maintain their accustomed method of personal hygiene during toilet use, the travel bidet is often a permanent part of their luggage. Upon arrival, the bidet is connected to the water supply using the adapter. Good adapters for bidet sprays should also allow the normal use of the plumbing fixture, so the bidet spray only needs to be connected once during the stay and dismounted again before departure.
• Finally, there are bidet attachments for PET drinking bottles. In this case, a plastic nozzle, sealed with rubber gaskets, is simply attached to a standard PET drinking bottle. Pressing the water bottle then generates the water stream for cleansing. Not all drinking bottles are suitable for this type of application, and the use can be somewhat uncomfortable. However, the significant advantage of this solution lies in its particularly space- and weight-saving implementation. The attachable bidet nozzles are very small and fit into any jacket or pants pocket. Moreover, plastic drinking bottles are available almost anywhere in the world. Therefore, these bidets are also gaining popularity as a mobile emergency solution among travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The etymology of the term "Shattaf" is not entirely clear. One possibility is its derivation from the Arabic root "sh-t-f," meaning "clean" or "wash." Another explanation, however, suggests its derivation from the English "shut off." Bidet sprays feature an integrated shut-off valve that allows stopping the water flow. In this context, the connection to the English "shut off" could provide a plausible explanation for the origin of the term "Shattaf."
