Abstract
A washing and massaging device is provided which is usually used for washing and massaging the back and other areas of the body. The device comprises a doubled strip of water absorbent material providing a strip which may be reciprocated over the areas of the back and body to be cleansed and massaged. Handles are provided by means of which the strip may be manipulated. The handles are formed of straps of somewhat resilient material. The straps form loops one of which may be engaged by each hand. The ends of the straps are overlapped and extend transversely across each end of the strip to enclose a portion of the pump at each strip end. The loops are secured to extend transversely of the length of the strip, and these loops, when tension is applied to the handes, tend to hold the strip tightly against the surface being washed.
