Is it bad I kinda fuck with this idea?
I’m already contemplating how to do something similar.
It doesn’t need to be elevated. A Camelbak on the nightstand would do the trick.
Yes but why make it simple when it can be deliciously complicated and intricate?
Crazy straw and chocolate milk, you say?
Rum and coke keeps for longer but I’ll take the crazy straw!
I tried it awhile ago, but it’s too easy to accidentally spill water on the bed when you’re trying to drink from it. Also the hydration reservoirs are tricky to keep clean.
Yeah yeah, but consider that where you have failed, I, a complete beginner in these matters with nothing but a wild idea and my trusty ADHD interest span, shall obviously succeed! And you’ll all see!
I keep water in a thermoflask near the bed. Stays nice and cool all night. This bag would be an unpleasant room temperature very quickly.
Where my room temperature homies at?
in my experience room temperature water is magically cold anyways, fuck knows how that works but it reliably does.
Like it’s not ice cold or anything, but recognizably cool
Unpleasant room temp?
We get it, you only drink carefully curated, ultra-filtered, temperature controlled Smart water, you priss
I have a relatively cheap filter on the kitchen sink cold water tap, and I use ice in a large thermos style water bottle, but I too prefer cold/chilled to room temp. I can drink room temp fine, but I like it cold more.
I gotta switch it up sometimes
I get it out of my fridge’s dispenser. Sometimes I put ice in there if it’s a hot evening. The flask cost me $10 which is cheaper than a Camelbak. Lasts me a few days between refills. Honestly a good life hack if you’re used to have a glass of water by your bedside.

I’ve done this. Because I almost exclusively drank out of a camelpak for a while, so I had it on my night stand often. It was super easy and convenient to take a sip of water while laying down. I’ve wanted something like that again, but yeah, having that next to your bed isn’t great lol
I fuck with the CamelBak too. My problem is I get the brilliant idea of throwing other liquids in there to try and sneak it into places. Then I forget to flush it and it’s ruined. 😞
As long as it’s only the idea, not the girlfriend or the bag itself. I mean, yuckkkkk.
It’s okay, this is lemmy. Nobody has a gf here.
I want it too
Imagine being enough of a weirdo to make a hydration bag on the wall, and also charismatic enough to get a girlfriend. I think this person deserves the highest honors.
Often, I would think the girlfriend would come first, then the hydrobag.
I have a fiancé myself, and a son, and I’d by lying if I said I didn’t want a hydro bag after seeing this post.
All I can sense from the photo is the gross taste of whatever leeched from the flexible plastic into the water.
you’re right the hydro bag should have a metal pipe instead just like the ones for hamsters
Bf has one of those (saves weight on hikes). Water from it indeed tastes quite plasticky. Also, the flow rate is kinda low.
If you’ve already procreated, you have less to lose.

Wouldn’t a simple glass be easier to clean? Put a bendy straw in too if you don’t want to sit up.
The spill risk is too much man
Sippy cup
All I can think of is mold, mold, mold.

OH! It’s for water, that’s a relief.
I legit thought it was some weird urinal thing.
I thought it was for poo at first glance lol
First thought was a medical thing.
Write “LUBE” on it for a better vibe of the room.
I mean nothing screams “bachelor pad” more than a mattress on the floor in the corner. Pretty sure this fits the vibe exactly.
I’m pretty sure that the mattress isn’t on the floor. Otherwise the Light Switch would be pretty low
He put it there so he can more easily find his water bag
🌌🧠
I thought so at first as well but that looks like a European electrical outlet.
I’m pretty sure it’s a light switch, looks like one you would usually find in France or Italy
Homie is right that this is the height of late-night convenience. Especially since that bed is cornered and the nightstand (if there is one) might be tough to reach with a whole person in the way.
GF is right too. This is sending “hamster cage” vibes. May as well decorate with cedar wood-chips at this point.

Not the earthy tones she was hoping for
Drinking that much water at night will end you up with a lot of uncomfortable visits to the toilet
Add a piss bag and now we are talking
Water bag > human > piss bag > filtration system > water bag
Never have to wake up at night to use the restroom, sustainable, she’ll love it
Na, skip all that and wear a stillsuit to bed.
Hide it behind an inflatable doll?
edit: I love that I got one downvote on this comment. Found the guy with the inflatable doll next to his bed. Sorry bro, no offense intended in my original comment.
Big brain move: disguise the water bottle inside the doll.
Brilliant! And then the gf will never see it!
(because she’s the doll)
Guaranteed there’s a poop stick in the shitter.
A poop knife would be more efficient
It’s a ruse to pretend he has a gf
- Shelf and HOOKS underneath over head end of bed are least compatible with sex ever… bonked head, pulled hair, gashes…
- Pillow for single person
- bottom sheet only
- sheet not clean
- no lamp
- Bed is pushed in the corner
Never once understood this one lol
Wait you don’t understand why someone would push their bed in the corner? Or you don’t understand why it’s a problem for two people sleeping in the same bed if the bed is pushed in the corner?
Clambering is my love language.
I don’t think I’ve ever in my life put a top sheet on my bed…
Honestly. I’m a blanket sleeper, always have been. Top sheets stay in the linen closet for guests
Washing my blankets as frequently as they would need it would wear them down much faster and for that matter, sheets are just easier and more efficient to wash. That’s why I use a top sheet at least. It’s not a comfort thing for me.
To be fair, while I don’t have a top cover, my comforter does have a duvet cover which is washed more frequently
Counterpoint; I’m going to kick that top sheet towards the foot of that bed in like 30 minutes anyways. Duvet cover is the way.
Duvet covers are incredibly annoying to take on and off. I just fold the sheet over the top of the blanket and it doesn’t move for me.
They’re not too bad, just start with them inside out, grab the corners, and pull through. And it makes it easier to make the bed later because you don’t have to deal with the top sheet.
Perhaps too afraid to ask for styling advice for himself and “asking for a friend” would invite too many follow up questions so he has to make up a girlfriend to impress.
Take my upvote
Hang it from an IV stand.
Make a nice little curtain. Maybe make a few in different colors so you can match whatever sheets you throw on
Simple, elegant, and can be adjusted to match the decor, I like it.
An alternative might be to put the bag under the bed with a brick or similar resting on it to provide presure.
Its not that hard to suck it up that distance like a straw. I use a hydration sack while camping and sometimes I’ll roll onto my bite valve and soak my tent. Under the bed but without the brick would mean minial spillage if the bite valve gets pinched.
I have an idea: Take the contents of the bag, and place it in a nice tall glass. You could even toss a couple ice cubes in it to keep it cool for a while. That would look real classy.
This is clearly inferior to the bag. And the ice is pointless as it will melt before the glass will be drunk. Also, since ice is less dense than water, you’re actually leaving even less room for liquid water in the glass that is already smaller than the bag.
Obviously the solution is to use heavy water. Now you no longer have the ice cube problem.
Of course you have other problems but no solution is perfect.
I believe heavy water is ok to drink in small quantities but not super heavy water. So use heavy water ice but still deliver it via bag.
Well, it’ll be a little cool most of the night, certainly more so than room temperature bag water.
Hear me out. Fake plant, stick the bag in the hollow pot. Maybe cover the hose with a plastic cord concealer.
Why no water bottle?
And sit up or raise my head like a PEASANT? Nay, kind Gentlethem, nay.
