The concept comes from the folks at Mintpass. It starts with a basic set of useful, personal items needed for people on the go: an [electric shaver and toothbrush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultim8-travel-smartcase) and a recharging unit. From there, these designers have created what seems like an endless variety of add-ons. Supplementary modules include an alarm clock, flashlight, pill dispenser and a wireless widget unit with tilting screen, LAN and SD card slots. However, they didn’t stop there; their self proclaimed highlight of the Tripp-ee is the [bidet module](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bidet-toilet-seat1). That’s right, “a personal, portable and hygienic bidet. All you need is a bottle of drinking water.” Mintpass has other ideas in the works as well; they just need someone to step up add produce the handy invention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Travel Accessories:** Opportunity to create innovative and customizable travel accessories with interchangeable modules. - **Personalized Travel Gadgets:** Opportunity to develop personalized gadgets for travelers, such as the Tripp-ee's add-ons like alarm clock and pill dispenser. - **Portable Hygiene Solutions:** Opportunity to introduce portable and hygienic solutions, like the bidet module in the Tripp-ee. ### Where This Applies - **Travel Accessories:** The travel accessory industry can benefit from offering modular and personalized products. - **Personal Care Products:** The personal care industry can explore the potential of creating portable and convenient personal hygiene gadgets. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can innovate by introducing modular gadgets like the Tripp-ee with interchangeable features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Three-in-One Hygiene Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hygiene-kit.md) - [Portable Toothbrush sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clea-toothbrush-sanitizer.md) - [Modular Travel Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra.md) - [Three-in-One Travel Bag Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onli-travel-revolution-modular-bag-system.md) - [Packable Backcountry Bathroom Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-kit.md) - [Compact Portable Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-toilets.md) - [Ultra-Compact Camper Toilet Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pact-lite.md) - [Patented Toilet Bidet Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bidet-seat.md) - [Water-Free Telescoping Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1.md)
