Headline : World’s First Portable Bidet Already 3362% Overfunded
Caption : A company launching the world’s first portable bidet have so far been backed 3362% over their crowdfunding goal.

The Sonny is described as ‘sleek, intuitive to use, environmentally friendly and more hygienic than toilet paper’.

The hand-held device, which can run three weeks on an hour charge, is simply filled with water and then can then jet away any uncleanliness for up to 40 seconds. There are three spray settings: precision, shower and gentle. It can be also used for babies and pets, including dogs.

To date (12 Aug), 6,806 backers have pledged £698,336 of the £20,771 with 14 days left to run. (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sonny-a-portable-bidet-for-eco-conscious-humans#/).

The Santa Monica-based creators believe the Sonny is eco-friendly. They explain: “There has been no innovation in bathrooms for over a hundred years. Toilet paper is an antiquated, unsustainable solution to an everyday human activity. Every year the manufacturing of toilet paper requires 15 million trees and 500 billion gallons of water. The advent of the flushable wipes is a recent trend that has created an even greater strain on the environment and our sanitation and sewage departments nationwide.”

Prices start for Sonny at £81.
