Washing device for scrubbing the body

Washing device for scrubbing the body, comprising:

• an elongate washing member having two opposing ends;
• and gripping means at each end for facilitating gripping by a user while washing, said washing member being flexible and having a mild abrasive surface for gently scrubbing different portions of the body while substantially conforming to the contours of the body portions being washed and said washing member having a substantially uniform cross-section along the length of said washing member and a substantially porous interior below said abrasive surface to allow water and soap to permeate said surface and interior thereof, said washing member being formed of a plurality of similar interlooped endless and continuous links each folded back upon itself, and each folded link defining a closed loop, each closed loop being formed of an elongate tube defining a longitudinal axis, each said tube being gathered along said axis to provide a plurality of circular generally undulating layers spaced from each other in a radial direction of said tube from the tube's axis to an outer periphery of said gathered tube, the length of said tube and number of layers being selected to provide a desired width of said loop and substantially fill said loop in said radial direction when in a relaxed condition thereof.

Washing device for scrubbing the body, comprising:

• an elongate washing member having two opposing ends;
• and gripping means at each end for facilitating gripping thereof by user while washing, said washing member being flexible and having a mild abrasive surface for gently scrubbing different portions of the body while substantially conforming to the contours of the body portions being washed and said washing member having a substantially uniform cross-section along the length of said washing member and having a substantially porous interior below said abrasive surface to allow water and soap to permeate the surface and interior thereof, said washing member being formed of a plurality of similar interlooped endless and continuous links each folded back upon itself, and each folded link forming a substantially cubical three-dimensional space of box-shaped form, and wherein each of said links are in the form of a closed loop.
