Abstract: Apparatus for body hygiene comprises an hydraulic pump and electric motor for producing liquid pressure pulses which are supplied to a hand appliance containing an hydraulic motor for driving a working tool, particularly a toothbrush, and means for alternatively supplying the pulses to a liquid jet attachment. The pump includes a pressure regulator. A control member coupled with the pressure regulator and an electric switch for the motor turn the motor on at maximum pressure of the liquid pulses.
