    Abstract: A conventional toilet includes a bowl having a bowl interior supported upon a base and having a rectangular flush tank supplied from a conventional water supply. The bowl portion supports a conventional toilet seat having a center hole and a hinged attachment to the seat support portion of the bowl. A toilet seat supported bidet includes an elongated nozzle pipe having an upwardly directed nozzle pivotally supported on the underside of the toilet seat such that the nozzle water flow extends upwardly through the hole in the toilet seat. A slide valve is coupled to the nozzle pipe and is operated by a pivotal handle. A supply of heated water is coupled to the slide valve from a source of water under pressure. A pair of friction clips secure the nozzle pipe to the undersurface of the toilet seat in a frictional pivotal attachment to facilitate the angular movement of the nozzle pipe to affect angular motion of the nozzle.
