A self-contained and portable personal hygiene apparatus (10) that aids a person to excrete or otherwise relieve themself into a toilet (12), is described. The hygiene apparatus is comprised of a toilet seat (14) that mounts on the toilet, a portable water pump (16) and a blower (18). The toilet seat is provided with a plurality of water nozzles (66) that direct a cleansing water flow from the water pump against the buttocks after the person is finished excreting into the toilet. Then, the person actuates the blower which causes a drying airflow to blow against the buttocks from a plurality of air nozzles (74) mounted on the toilet seat. After the person is cleaned, the hygiene apparatus can be disassembled and transported along with the person's other personal effects and belongings. This helps those persons that normally require assistance when they relieve themself to lead normal and active lives without the fear of being unable to relieve themself in a bathroom that is not the one that they normally use. The apparatus is adapted for use without any assistance while the person is excreting, thus providing privacy which is important.
