If only Jesus drowned, then it would have been perfectly fine by all american standards.
Idea:
Jesus walks on water If jesus dives into water His neck would crack and he would die
Jesus died from cracking neck on water for our sins
Here, hang this broken twig glued to a fishbowl above your bed as remembrance.
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.
Add a catheter to the system for a full over-night flush
Add a Cather and a filter for a closed loop
Now in stores: The Fremen Sleeping Bag[tm]
Sounds like a Cinco branded product.
I thought that was a pee bag.
I agree with the gf, It ruins the vibe by adding the vibe of somebody who can’t cope with just using a normal water bottle.
If convenience is so wrong then why do we even have water bottles? Can’t you cope with just using a normal cup? We are witnessing the next generation of water delivery systems, I say let the man have his gravity enhanced hydration. Hydrate or diedrate 🤙
Keeping water by the bed is more convenient than getting up for a drink, and the bottle prevents spills. If a gf objected to that I would be on OP’s side, but clinging to the sucky tube bag even though it annoys his loved one is Sheldon Cooper level. I hope they work it out.
Being annoyed by a bag is Sheldon Cooper level
It’s Sheldon all the way down.
Bottles aren’t perfect, you still have to sit up to use most of them as they generally need some way to let air in as you pull water out. The bite tube also prevents spills without having to move too much or otherwise disturb your partner with one of those pop-nib bottles that has to suck air back in when you release suction.
If she exists, it seems she has more of a problem with the way it looks than its actual functionality. That is a problem that can be solved as easily as getting a bag that doesn’t contrast so much with the existing color scheme. Hilarious to suggest a relationship isn’t working out over such a minor aesthetic disagreement though.
A cup is a great idea. Every morning you can be surprised by what kinds of things float around the air at night, the insects that flew in while you brought in the groceries, heck, if you are lucky, you might even catch a spider or two. Happy sipping!
Damn wtf is going on at your house that this is a regular thing for you
Nah, I’m with the other commenter.
Give a fly 5-9 hours to find a cup and it will.
That I get, somewhat, but the bug thing is just crazy to me. Water doesn’t attract bugs, I’ve never woken up to a bug in my glass of water. Maybe dust, maybe the occasional cat hair, whatever, I’m unbothered. But bugs? regularly? That is a critical mass of bugs.
Yeah but 3L…
Plenty of decent folks have 3L+ reusable water bottles.
Sure, but do you want to be lifting that to your face in the dark at 3AM?
I would definitely drop it on my face.
Whatever works for folks, I’m just saying that such things exist. I just go to the kitchen.
Yeah but could you imagine not having to???
I dunno I hate getting up in the night.
I’m old and crippled. If I’m up, I’m up. But I meant what I said, whatever works for folks!
When I was recovering from my last major surgery, I had a 2L shmiggle or whatever it’s called on my nightstand for that purpose.
Why use bottled water when you have a reusable 3L pouch?
Why assume I meant nonreusable bottle when it makes much more sense that OP would have a reusable one - if not several, given their interest in hydration? I did in fact mean a reusable water bottle. But I’m probably being overly harsh, because what better way to tell your partner, “I’m someone you can rely on if the going gets tough,” than hanging up a plastic water bag with a bite tube?
How dare you make a perfectly reasonable point? 😡
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.
Call me crazy but I use this thing called a bottle. Then even if I knock it over when im asleep it just wakes me up and doesnt cause me to have to start cleaning up water and glass at random times
Also keeps the bugs out. Nothing like waking up to find a beetle floating in your glass.
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.
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
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.
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.
I don’t think I’ve ever in my life put a top sheet on my bed…
2 virgins in one thread. Things are heating up
Wait…I sleep in my boyfriend’s bed who’s the same as me. It’s virgins all around…
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.
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.
To be fair, while I don’t have a top cover, my comforter does have a duvet cover which is washed more frequently
Take my upvote
Why no water bottle?
And sit up or raise my head like a PEASANT? Nay, kind Gentlethem, nay.
Hear me out. Fake plant, stick the bag in the hollow pot. Maybe cover the hose with a plastic cord concealer.
It’s gotta be above the head or gravity won’t work
It’s crazy how it knows.
Of course! We just put it on the little shelf overhead.
No it doesn’t. It just needs to be upright so that the hose is coming from the bottom. The user just needs to bite down on the other end of the hose and suck to get water. That’s how mine works.
Fake hanging plant. Or fuck it, real hanging plant, false bottom in the pot
Well I’ll be darned
Is it bad I kinda fuck with this idea?
I’m already contemplating how to do something similar.
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!
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 keep water in a thermoflask near the bed. Stays nice and cool all night. This bag would be an unpleasant room temperature very quickly.
This bag would be an
unpleasantroom temperature very quickly.Good
Where my room temperature homies at?
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. 😞
I want it too
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.
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.

Bed in a corner with no headboard. This room has no aesthetic to ruin.
OH! It’s for water, that’s a relief.
I legit thought it was some weird urinal thing.
First thought was a medical thing.
Why not both!?
I’m at the point in my life where a urinal next to my bed would be a huge QoL improvement, but I don’t think my wife would go for it.
I think you missed the part where I implied that you would be drinking your own urine.
I thought it was for poo at first glance lol
Hang it from an IV stand.
Nobody here knows what a camelbag is.
It’s Camelbak.
Camelbak is the company. They made camelbags.
No. Nobody calls them camel bags, they use Camelbak as a generic term for a hydration bladder.
Everybody calls them camelbags.
This is actually pretty neat if you are a particularly thirsty person.
A second tube for waste and all you need worry about is bedsores.
At that point get a hospital bed
