Personal care implement

A personal care implement comprising:

• a handle comprising a first rigid portion, a second rigid portion, and an elastomeric portion located between the first and second rigid portions, the elastomeric portion forming a thumb grip comprising a front surface, a rear surface, and a peripheral surface that extends between the front and rear surfaces;
• the first rigid portion comprising a first end portion that is adjacent to a top portion of the thumb grip, the first end portion comprising a first tab and a second tab;
• the second rigid portion comprising a second end portion that is adjacent to a bottom portion of the thumb grip, the second end portion comprising a first tab and a second tab;
• wherein the first and second tabs of each of the first and second rigid portions comprises an exposed outer surface;
• and
• wherein a portion of the peripheral surface of the thumb grip is recessed relative to the exposed outer surface of the first and second tabs of each of the first and second rigid portions.

A personal care implement comprising:

• a rigid component comprising:
• a first portion extending from a first end to a second end, the first portion forming a neck portion and a head portion of the oral care implement;
• a second portion extending from a first end to a second end, the second portion forming a gripping portion of the oral care implement;
• and
• a core extending between the first end of the first portion and the first end of the second portion, the core comprising an inner surface that defines a through hole;
• a resilient component comprising an elastomeric body that forms a thumb grip of the oral care implement;
• and
• wherein the core of the rigid component is embedded within the elastomeric body and the elastomeric body fills the through hole of the core.
