Abstract
A water jet personal hygiene fixture for installation on a toilet bowl, comprising hot and cold water control valves to produce warm water from existing pipes in a bathroom, a pivotally-mounted nozzle to produce a water jet, control handles to actuate the nozzle in a vertical arc and to control water pressure and flow, and water shut-off valves. A base plate allows installation of the fixture on the toilet bowl in a space between the toilet bowl rim and the toilet seat, the seat having a cut-out to accommodate vertical travel of the nozzle. A novel handtowel glove is formed from a planar sheet of absorbent material into a tubular shape with a closed end as an aid for dab drying the user and the toilet seat area after the use of the fixture.
