ABSTRACT:
The device is for washing and massaging body portions of a user, and, particularly, for such difficult to reach areas as a user's back. The washing device includes a new and improved composite wash body structure having opposing handle members extending therefrom. The composite wash body structure is for the releasable absorption of washing fluids, and it includes a flexible, elongated encasement member and a compressed-in-thickness, liquid expansible sponge member juxtaposed within the encasement member. The encasement member has generally opposing exterior surfaces for washing contact with the skin of a user. The opposing handle members extend from the wash body member in generally its longitudinal direction, and they provide a user with outer gripping portions to manipulate the wash body member. Upon initial contact of the composite wash body member to washing fluid, the sponge member within the encasement member expands in thickness to form a cushioned and resilient structure. Additionally provided is a wash body member having opposing exterior surfaces of varying degrees of consistency. And, provided are flexible handle members of a trapezoidal configuration which permit the manufacture of handle member portions from rectangular materials to maximize material usage.
