Abstract

A device includes a central body having an array of scrubbing features that extend away from a first surface of the central body. The array of scrubbing features is arranged in wave-shaped pathways extending radially from a first end of the pathways at an interior of the central body toward a second end of the pathways at a periphery of the central body. The array of scrubbing features includes a first set of scrubbing features extending a first height away from the first surface and a second set of scrubbing features extending a second height away from the first surface. The device has a unitary structure made of silicone and infused with an antimicrobial agent. The device is configured to be more durable and have a longer use time than conventional bath and shower devices thereby mitigating climate change.

a body having a surface;
a first set of fins extending perpendicular from the surface of the body;
a second set of fins extending perpendicular from the surface of the body;
a first array of bristles that are cylindrical, uniformly integrated into the first set of fins, extend from the surface of the body, traverse the first set of fins, and project away from the first set of fins;
a second array of bristles that are cylindrical, uniformly integrated into the second set of fins, extend from the surface of the body, traverse the second set of fins, and project away from the second set of fins,
wherein the first set of fins and the second set of fins are arranged in an alternating pattern and extending toward a periphery of the surface of the body, and
wherein the first array of bristles has a height different from the second array of bristles, relative to the surface of the body;
and
