The Smik bath sponge is a long handled sponge for washing in the shower or the bath without having to bend or twist to reach. An absorbent sponge head sits on a long flexible wire stem, and the stem can be bent to whatever angle suits the part of the body being washed, which is what allows the feet, the lower legs and the back to be reached from a seated or standing position. The plastic handle at the other end gives a straightforward grip that stays usable when wet and soapy. At 63 cm overall it adds enough reach to remove most of the bending from washing, while remaining short enough to handle comfortably in a shower recess. It suits anyone whose reach, balance or trunk movement makes washing the lower body or the back difficult.

Washing the feet and the back is one of the first parts of showering that becomes difficult, and a 63 cm sponge restores it without needing another person in the bathroom. The bendable wire stem matters more than the length on its own, because the angle can be set for the back one minute and the feet the next, and the plastic handle keeps a secure grip once hands are wet.
