A sanitary unit (1, 116, 118) is provided which has a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece (2), which (2) can be installed on a water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and has a sleeve interior, into which is inserted a sanitary functional unit (5) with at least one functional element (5), which (5) has a component (6), which (6) can be adjusted between at least two functional positions, by an externally accessible handle, via a transmission element (9) which is guided in an axially displaceable manner in the functional element (5). The handle is configured in the form of an actuating element (7) which is retained in a displaceable manner on the outer circumference of a sub-region, forming part of the outlet mouthpiece (2), which projects beyond the water outlet of the outlet fitting, and the actuating element (7), which serves as a handle has a water-jet-permeable or water-jet-guiding outlet structure (8) held on it that connects the actuating element (7) to the transmission element (9).
