Abstract: |
A combination bath mitt and shampoo shield for bathing infants and small children, comprising a cuff, a main body to receive the wearer's hand, one or more finger receptacles, a thumb receptacle, and a web member extending between the thumb receptacle and the finger receptacle adjacent the thumb receptacle, where the web member is liquid impermeable and is shaped to form a seal between itself and the forehead of the child when the thumb and forefinger of the wearer are spread to divert water from the child's face, and where some or all of the remaining components of the mitt are porous to receive water and soap lather to enable the mitt to be used as a lather applicator or scrubber.
