A toilet seat ( 10 ) having a cleansing facility with an pivotable arm ( 18 ) supplied with warm water for cleaning and warm air for drying the anal and genital areas of a user. The arm ( 18 ) being automatically controlled to operate along a path substantially parallel with the central fore and aft axis of the toilet seat ( 10 ) between a stored position and an active position. The water is supplied though a duct ( 36 ) which has a relatively small cross-sectional area and the air is supplied through a duct ( 44 ) having a relatively large cross-sectional area so as to provide respectively differing volumes of fluid to the user. The water duct ( 36 ) and air duct ( 44 ) are substantially parallel and both terminate in upward disposition to direct the water and air upwardly onto the user at a close range for efficient cleaning and drying, respectively. The toilet seat ( 10 ) has a bi-directional fan ( 50 ) that rotates clockwise for delivering air to the anal area of the user and anti-clockwise for delivering air to the genital area of the user. A heater coil ( 49 ) is provided in the air duct ( 44 ) and optionally upstream of the fan ( 50 ). A second water outlet ( 60 ) is provided for cleaning male genitals and can be manipulated to adjust its orientation.
