Abstract
A device for automatically rinsing private parts of the user's body after urination and/or defacation is disclosed. The device is comprised of a main body including a unit of temporarily securing the user's body to the device while also covering their private parts such as anus or urethra, an inlet port for introducing a rinsing liquid for rinsing the private parts, and a drainage port for discharging the used rinse liquid along with discharge materials out of the main body. The main body also includes a sensor unit for sensing urination and/or defacation; a unit for discriminating defacation and urination from each other on the basis of output signals from the sensor unit and a unit for releasing a rinsing liquid for a predetermined time towards the private parts on the basis of discrimination by the discriminating unit.
