Side view of a sponge on a wand. The sponge is yellow and porous and has a red ribbon handle on top. The sponge connects to a wand that is long and thin. The third of the want closest to the sponge is thinnest and grey. The other two thirds are teal. The middle third has slight bumps. The third furthest from the end bends down and forms a loop big enough for a person’s fingers to fit through. The tip of the wand has a small hole that is even with the loop.

Three bath sponges in a variety of textures and color on a white background. These are replacement heads for a prototype called “Bendable Bathing Wand”. All sponges have similar bases composed of a gray top and a red band. On the left is a dark teal colored mesh-net similar to a traditional netted bath sponge. The middle is a solid sponge in a light green color. On the right is a yellow porous sponge. The sponges are made of plastics and synthetic fibers.
