tldr; Reddit highly recommends travel bidets like the Brondell GoSpa for portability and convenience, calling them 'life changing' for use away from home, though some find the water pressure insufficient for thorough cleaning.

Best praise vs top criticism for Brondell GoSpa Travel Bidet
“Back problems, and tbh weight, makes doing a proper job difficult, and sometimes impossible for me. The bidet has been a lifesaver! I now have a travel bidet (squeeze bottle type). I heartily recommend!”
“This is why I spent time looking for solutions myself. Not just work, but really anywhere other than home. Here's what I recommend, and HOW I tested and picked these. Best Option (if you can get by with a little more $$$ and bulk): WaterPik ION - $100 Collapsible Stool - 15 inches or higher - $20 - $30 BabbleRoo Diaper Bag Backpack - $35 32 oz water bottle - $20 Almost as good (better if you're on a tight budget or really need something slim): INSOLIFE Electric USB Rechargeable Travel Bidet (2nd Generation) - $55 WATERFLY Fanny Pack - Water Resistant - Large - $20 2 SPECIAL MADE Collapsible Water Bottles - $30 The reality is that I work a job with a decent bit of travel, and often visiting clients for a day or so at a time. I have a skin condition that was wreaking havoc on my bum for years until I switched to a bidet, and now I rarely have problems. So I needed something I could take with me that didn't have to be installed. For testing, I purchased several squeeze bidets (both full bottle and bottle inserts), several electric handheld bidets/"showers" (including the Toto and Panasonic model as well as some clones), a couple of handheld "water irrigators" (water flossers), as well as the two models listed above. Testing was over a couple of weeks where I would alternate between different models and types through the day. I also did a test at the beginning and end of the time to see if there was any appreciable pressure difference after use. None of the squeeze bidets would get me appreciably clean by themselves. In addition to being a bit awkward (particularly the models that have to be inserted into a filled bottle), I could rarely get more than a couple of squeezes out at decent pressure. If you used wipes first, these might help with refreshing your skin and using fewer wipes in total. But if you are trying to avoid wipes in the first place (that pesky skin condition again), then you can cross these off the list. The Toto and Panasonic models were designed when AA batteries in hand electronics were the rage, and their motors are limited to the power that two AA batteries can produce. They both have small reservoirs, although the Panasonic is designed to also fit on certain water bottles. Even with the increased water amounts, there just isn't enough pressure to really wash anything off. Making these only slightly better (and much more expensive) than the squeeze bottles. The clones are even worse as many of them have rechargeable batteries, but still use (steal?) the same motor design even though they could clearly be more powerful. The oral irrigators generally have an issue that they first have to be hacked a bit as they are designed to be used upright, while as a bidet you are using them flat or even a little inverted. For most of them this means cutting their feed hose so that it feeds from the top of the reservoir. Unfortunately most of these have small reservoirs (to make them easy to carry), and most often have only”
