U.S. application Ser. No. 407,109, filed Sep. 14, 1989, inventor discloses an improved toilet seat providing clearance for the insertion of user's hand for perinea cleaning, in that it consist being fitted to a conventional toilet, fixed or removable in elevated position to provide lateral openings creating a clearance for the insertion of user's hand to carry out perinea cleaning functions.

Upon which the user will remove any waste which remains in the perinea area by shifting weight to one side, lifting the opposite side from the seat, and reaching, hand to the perineum.

There are many factors that present many uses that make the wiping process difficult; much of the problem arises from the hand being inserted into small space allowed by the excessive shifting of body from one side to raise the opposite side from seat.

This invention permits easier access to the user's underside at a comfortable angle in one single unit without interchangeable parts and inexpensive.
