Abstract
A spatula for depilatory use comprises a generally S-section flexible plastics body 4, a straight elastomeric fin 10 at one end, and at the other end, an elastomeric fin of “fish-tail” shape. The straight fin can remove a depilatory preparation from most areas of the skin, and the other fin is able to remove the preparation from less accessible areas. The elastomeric fins give effective hair removal whilst avoiding the deleterious effects of earlier scrapers.
