Product Details

The Long Bath Sponges are practical bathing aids that make it easier to reach areas of the body that can be difficult to wash due to limited mobility, reduced flexibility or restricted movement. The extended handle helps users maintain personal hygiene more independently while reducing the need to bend, twist or overreach.

Each sponge is mounted on a lightweight yet durable plastic handle that is comfortable to hold and easy to manoeuvre. The soft polyfoam sponge provides a gentle cleansing action, while the long reach makes washing the back, legs and feet much easier.

Available in three different styles to suit individual preferences. The Scrub version features a loofah-style surface on one side for enhanced cleansing and gentle exfoliation, while the Contoured and Round versions provide a softer washing experience.

    Nearly but not quite

    Review by M Borgars Posted on 22/01/2022 12:33:44
    I like the scrubbing sponge head but for my mobility I feel a curved or flexible handle would suit me much better. Cannot make it reach where I need it to.
