Claim 0:
1. A personal care implement, comprising:
a hand and fingernail scrub brush construction comprising an elongate body including a first side and an opposed second side extending longitudinally between a proximal end and an opposed distal end and first bristles attached fixedly to the elongate body, the first bristles comprising a scrub brush extending longitudinally of the elongate body between the proximal end and the distal end, transversely of the elongate body between the first side and the second side, and outward from the elongate body to a scrub-brushing extremity;
an elongate member extending outward longitudinally from the distal end to a toothbrush head assembly, the toothbrush head assembly comprising second bristles attached fixedly to a head, the second bristles comprising a toothbrush extending outward from the head to a toothbrushing extremity;
the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction being a size and in juxtaposition with the toothbrush head assembly being a size, the size of the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction larger than the size of the toothbrush head assembly;
the size of the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction a) too big for reception in a mouth of a user for toothbrushing by the scrub brush, and b) suitable to facilitate grasping and holding the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction by one hand of the user in a first format and a second format, the first format comprising the elongate body grasped between a thumb of the hand of the user against one of the first side and the second side between the proximal end and the distal end and fingers of the hand of the user spaced longitudinally against another one of the first side and the second side between the proximal end and the distal end with the scrub brush extending outward from the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction from a palm side of the hand for hand and fingernail brushing by the scrub brush, and the second format comprising a first grip including the thumb and fingers of the hand of the user wrapped around the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction with the palm side of the hand in direct contact against the scrub-brushing extremity, inducing a grasping reflex by the hand of the user;
the size of the toothbrush head assembly c) too small to be grasped by one hand of the user in the first format and the second format, and d) suitable to facilitate reception of the toothbrush head assembly in the mouth of the user for toothbrushing by the toothbrush; and
the size of the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction, the size of the toothbrush head assembly, and the juxtaposition of the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction with the toothbrush head assembly promote e) toothbrushing by the toothbrush of the toothbrush head assembly, f) hand and fingernail brushing by the scrub brush of the hand and fingernail scrub brush construction, and g) a frequency of hand and fingernail washing commensurate with a frequency of toothbrushing and vice versa.
