Claim:
A handheld multi-functional personal hygiene device comprising: a J-shaped liquid spray nozzle comprising a straight portion having a handle at a proximal end for grasping by a user seated on a toilet seat, the straight portion held by the user in a substantially vertically downward orientation with the handle above the toilet seat and the straight portion extending down below the user; a curved portion at a distal end extending from the straight portion and curving upwardly to position a distal end of the curved portion pointing in a substantially vertically upward orientation, the handle held above the toilet with the straight portion extending down below a crotch area of the user's body; the upwardly curved portion having a tip opening on the distal end to emit a narrow concentrated spray of liquid aimed vertically upward at a desired portion of the crotch area of the user's body; a trigger in proximity to the handle for manually controlling spray pressure, the trigger positioned on a side of the handle opposite to the upwardly curved distal end for ease of operation; the J-shaped liquid spray nozzle held by hand in a first position between the legs of a user seated on a toilet to spray a genital cleansing liquid from the nozzle externally to a genital area of the user functioning as a bidet spray, and alternately to spray a douching liquid internally in the genital area functioning as a douche spray without full insertion of the nozzle, and held by hand in a second position behind a user seated on a toilet to spray a cleansing liquid externally to a rectal area functioning as a rectal wash spray and alternately to spray an enema liquid internally in the rectal area functioning as an enema spray without full insertion of the nozzle; an external perimeter head around the tip opening and at least one spray nozzle receiving adaptor associated with the external perimeter head for receiving any of a variety of existing standard spray nozzle attachments to an external perimeter head around the tip opening for altering the spray for a variety of different uses; a flexible hose extending from the proximal end of the J-shaped liquid spray nozzle to a means for connecting to a liquid supply to provide a steady flow of liquid of a desired temperature to the J-shaped liquid spray nozzle, the hose being sufficiently long and flexible so that the liquid spray device can be moved between the first position and the second position; thereby providing a handheld multi-functional personal hygiene device.
