ABSTRACT:
A rotatable handle and a valve block are carried on a frame that is mounted on the exterior of a toilet bowl. A transfer tube of a rotatable insert in the valve block couples the handle to the valve block. The handle has an outlet hole wherein a proximal end of a water tube is disposed. The water tube extends from the exterior to the interior of the bowl via a space between the toilet seat and the rim of the bowl. A distal portion of the water tube extends over water within the bowl. The distal portion has a plurality of aligned holes therein. The handle is urged to a rest position by a spring. When the handle is at the rest position, a passageway of the valve block is occluded by a valve stem, thereby preventing a flow of water to the water tube. In response to the handle being rotated from the rest position, the passageway is cleared and the flow of water is provided which results in a sheet of water being discharged from the aligned holes. The sheet of water is directed towards the underside of a woman seated upon the toilet seat.
