Carrying personal hygiene items can be tricky, particularly during airport security. Portable bidets have gained popularity among travelers who prefer to remain clean on long journeys. But is it possible to carry a portable bidet through security? What are the regulations? If you're going to fly with your Biddet Buddy portable bidet, this guide will help you understand the rules of airport security.
Understanding Portable Bidets
Portable bidets are small, handheld units that squirt water to wash hands after a bathroom visit. Biddet Buddy's travel bidets are made for the traveling consumer, light, portable, and simple. These units guarantee that personal hygiene is maintained when public toilets may not be as comfortable as your own at home.
Airport Security Regulations for Portable Bidets
Airport security allows portable bidets in carry-on and checked luggage, but you must follow specific liquid restrictions when passing through screening checkpoints.
Empty Before Security
The key rule to remember is to drain your portable bidet before passing through airport security. Liquids in carry-on luggage must be in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, as required by TSA and similar international security agencies. Although your drained Biddet Buddy is acceptable to take through security, any water within it will be a problem.
Where to Store Your Portable Bidet
You have two choices:
-
Carry-on luggage: Place your unused Biddet Buddy in your carry-on. You can refill it after security at the airport bathroom faucets.
-
Checked baggage: If you don't want to hassle with security inquiries, put your bidet in checked luggage. Liquid limits are less restrictive for checked bags.
Electronic Features
Biddet Buddy models have battery-powered functions. If your model has batteries or electrical parts, be ready to remove it from your luggage at screening, along with other electronics.
Frequently Asked Questions about Taking Portable Bidets on a Plane
Are portable bidets permitted on an airplane?
Yes! Portable bidets are permitted on aeroplanes. They're treated like personal hygiene products, like toothbrushes or deodorant. Just remember to drain water reservoirs before security.
How do I employ a portable bidet on an airplane flight?
Fill your Biddet Buddy in the plane's lavatory sink. Our GoFlow Rechargeable Portable Bidet gives you plenty of cleaning muscle without having to be refilled too often. The unobtrusive design will slip comfortably into your pocket or purse for solo trips to the bathroom.
Will security officials have any idea what a portable bidet is?
Not all security officers may recognise a handheld bidet. Just say it's a personal hygiene unit cleaned with water after visiting the bathroom. Biddet Buddy's streamlined design appears professional and medical, which will steer you past embarrassing questions.
Do airports abroad have varying regulations?
Security policies differ between nations, but are primarily similar regarding liquidity limits. Research specific regulations for destinations you're visiting, particularly for layovers.
