Ha ha. No hand-wipe involved with this product with a good hard squirt or three! I lived in Turkey for 2 years and the "Arab Squatters" as we called the toilets never had TP available, just running water. Hence, never shake hands with your left!! (It is always etiquette in Arabic countries to only use your left hand for wiping). But I have never heard of the Lota!Somebody has reinvented the Muslim Lota!
A friend's son-in-law who served in Iraq and Afghanistan told me recycled Capri Sun pouches were very much in demand.
Said son-in-law brought one home as a present. My friend used it to water her indoor plants until her daughter let her in on the joke:Ha ha.

Compostable tp and human waste is a great fertiliser and just needs a bit of common sense when one is finished there business. Et VoilaI may have discovered the solution, finally to the age old problem of seeing TP where it doesn't belong. I was introduced to this outdoor, portable "bidet," that when used alongside a Kula cloth, you will never need TP again in the outdoors! This ingenious little device fits on any standard size water or soda bottle and weighs almost nothing. If you don't like the drip-dry sensation, pair it with a Kula cloth or any quick-dry microfiber cloth to wipe yourself dry. And yes, it works for all functions! Just give the bottle a good hard squeeze!You can google "outdoor bidet" to find bigger, more bulky products than this one, but this is the best for travel!

ALDI sells honey in a plastic bottle with a squirty top. I use it filled with water to remove dirt that collects in sliding door runners. That should work well.Okay. I'll get that bottle thing and complicate my next Camino even more
This sent me to Dr Google. It seems that we should rush out before a recent batch is removed from the shelves. It appears they are already preloaded with a cleaning solution!A friend's son-in-law who served in Iraq and Afghanistan told me recycled Capri Sun pouches were very much in demand.

Do you use a VPN? Cheat and tell it you're in the UK.I often read Guardian articles online in the US, but when I click the link I only see a tiny Guardian logo on a black background.

And who ever said the Camino was supposed to be easy?Okay. I'll get that bottle thing and complicate my next Camino even more.
Works in canada as well.The Guardian (newspaper) might not be available in the US?
It’s accessible in Oz … and probably NZ too.
The link works in th UK.
This may be because Google search insists on putting the search parameters in front of the Guardian URL. If you are using an Apple device that doesn't have Google search available on it then it probably won't work.I often read Guardian articles online in the US, but when I click the link I only see a tiny Guardian logo on a black background.

It doesn't, and @chinacat provided a link that I could use.Personally, I doubt that the USA blocks The Guardian.
More practical for who?It would be far more practical to charge a small fee and put portable toilets and baskets in-between stretches of the more frequented caminos stages.
It's really more practical for pilgrims to use the existing servicios available in bars and restaurants along the way, and take care of their own hygiene when that's not possible.

Yes, it reinflates. Yes, the link is in the word "bidet." Click on that word.What happens after the water bottle is squeezed? Does it reinflate? Is there a link for the nozzle?

You can even do it without the attachment, just a dedicated crushy smallish water bottle you can pick in almost any store in Spain. Look up backwater bidet on YouTube for instructions. Use some multipurpose liquid soap like “camp suds” brand to clean you’re clothes, hair and body In albergue showers and you’re not carrying much extra. I used this for a high sierra john Muir trail hike over 18 days that required packing out used tp (ew) and I never had to do that. Plus it’s a better clean for the nether regions than tp alone.I may have discovered the solution, finally to the age old problem of seeing TP where it doesn't belong.

It's nicer if the TP isn't very soiled though.carrying a doggy doo bag with you to carry out your TP to the next trash receptacle works as well
As much as I appreciate seeing new and innovative ways to answer questions that already have answers for, I believe that if "people"cannot understand the common sense and easiness of just just "picking up and carrying their own waste" ( at least burying your No 2's and carrying you TP with you) it'd be virtually impossible to get people to use such a device....I may have discovered the solution, finally to the age old problem of seeing TP where it doesn't belong.

Oh for goodness’ sake! Just pee in the woods if you have to (sometimes it can’t be helped) but TAKE YOUR TISSUE WITH YOU.

Apparently, it is very difficult, since TP can be seen everywhere.Oh for goodness’ sake! Just pee in the woods if you have to (sometimes it can’t be helped) but TAKE YOUR TISSUE WITH YOU. How is it difficult to understand this???
On actual wilderness backpacking trips we never hauled our scat out. No way, lol. Same with the toilet paper. Just carried a trowel to dig a quick cat hole and bury it afterwards. The paper breaks down as does the scat. Ashes to ashes, crap to crap.Compostable tp and human waste is a great fertiliser and just needs a bit of common sense when one is finished there business.

Where is this "away" that it goes to? And if there is rain involved then "away" might be into the ground water that supplies the springs.All that mess festering on the path until the next big rainstorm breaks it down and washes it away.
OH I LOVE this idea! I'll have to include this in a book I am writing about toilets (I know that may sound a bit odd. I worked for many years in a water authority, doing school education programs, and I once researched and developed a program called Toilets Thru Time. It's actually quite a fascinating topic to look at history, cultural differences, designs etc).

Yes, I'm sure that's where it goes as does all the waste matter from livestock along the Camino. I'm no expert but I'm gonna guess the herds of cows, sheep and the horses one sees almost daily on the Camino leave far more fecal waste matter than the small minority of rude pilgrims who poop the path and all that waste from livestock makes it way to water sources.Where is this "away" that it goes to? And if there is rain involved then "away" might be into the ground water that supplies the springs.
