Abstract
A combination bathing implement for use in cleansing and exfoliating skin and as a bath toy, or holder of soap or like products. The bathing implement includes a sponge component and a removable component. The sponge component can be, for instance, a ball-shaped mesh sponge, and the toy component can be, for instance, a water-friendly stuffed toy, a shaped solid soap product, or a container of a fluent soap, shampoo or lotion product. A loop component extends from the sponge component so that the other component is attachable to and removable from the sponge component. The loop component is appropriately sized so that it can be used as a handle to manipulate the sponge component during bathing. Alternatively, the implement can be utilized as a surface and article cleaning implement and be sold in combination with a container of cleaning product. The implement is also capable of being worn in a person's hair or as a bracelet around a person's wrist.
