Intergluteal cleft cleaning device

A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a brush member and a handle. The brush member extends from the handle. The brush member includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. A distance between the first edge and the second edge is substantially greater than a distance between the first side and the second side. Therefore, the brush member may have a thin profile and resemble a blade. A plurality of bristles extend from at least the first side, the second side and one of the first edge and the second edge of the brush member.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a brush and, more particularly, to an intergluteal cleft cleaning device.

Currently, it is difficult to properly clean hard to reach areas, such as in between the intergluteal cleft.

As can be seen, there is a need for a device that properly cleans in between the intergluteal cleft.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one aspect of the present invention, a cleaning device comprises: a handle; a brush member extending from the handle and comprising a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, wherein a distance between the first edge and the second edge is substantially greater than a distance between the first side and the second side; and a plurality of bristles extending from at least the first side, the second side and one of the first edge and the second edge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention includes a brush used to clean and sanitize the hard to reach intergluteal cleft with soap and water. The present invention is used to reduce itching, odor and rashes. The present invention is easy to use and control because of a special handle designed to quickly and easily wash the whole gluteus and rectal area in the comfort of your own bath.

Referring toFIGS. 1 through 4, the present invention includes a cleaning device10. The cleaning device10includes a brush member14and a handle12. The brush member14extends from the handle10. The brush member14includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. A distance between the first edge and the second edge is substantially greater than a distance between the first side and the second side. Therefore, the brush member14may have a thin profile and resemble a blade. A plurality of bristles30extend from at least the first side, the second side and one of the first edge and the second edge of the brush member14.

The brush member14may be used to clean in between the intergluteal cleft. The brush may be about 4 to about 6 inches long. In certain embodiments, the first side and the second side may be substantially flat. Further, the plurality of bristles30may extend from the first side, the second side, the first edge and the second edge. In certain embodiments, the brush member14may curve, which contours to the intergluteal cleft. In such embodiments, the first side edge and the second side edge may from the curve and may include a constant radius of curvature forming a bow shape. The first side edge and the second side curve with one another.

The handle12of the present invention is used to manipulate the brush member14. The handle may be about 8 to 12 inches long. In certain embodiments, the handle12may also include a curve. The handle12may further include an opening18formed therethrough to fit a rope or lanyard within. The handle12may further include a finger bump20extending from a first side and a thumb indent22formed on an opposite side. The finger bump20and thumb indent22allows users to have a stronger grasp of the handle12. This helps weak or handicap individuals. A notch16may also be formed at a rounded end of the handle12. The notch16may hold a cotton ball or sanitary wipe to apply medication. The handle12may further include an anti-slip grip.

A method of using the present invention may include the following. Soap up the brush member, grip the handle and place the bush member in the area to be cleaned and gently stroke the center area within the intergluteal cleft. Rinse and hang up for reuse.
