Abstract
A hygienic spray bottle dispenses liquid through a discharge tube. The spray bottle includes an electrically powered pump for pressurizing the liquid; a discharge tube having a nozzle; a valve for dispensing the pressurized liquid; and a pickup tube extending to the bottom of the bottle. A rechargeable battery powers the pump. The discharge tube is configured to cooperate with a toilet bowl wall to allow the spray bottle to function as a portable bidet. The discharge tube has a sliding sleeve for selectively covering and uncovering liquid spray holes to vary the spray pattern or location. Alternatively, the discharge tube includes a flexible section to vary the orientation of the nozzle for douching. The hygienic spray bottle is capable of being used in the absence of an external plumbing system.
