(8) Generally speaking, the Xquisite Foot Spa is a stationary device that facilitates exfoliation of the feet by simply standing. Based in a rectangular, water-resistant rubberized frame, this product would be rectangular in shape. Measuring approximately fourteen inches (14) in length, ten inches (10) in width, and one and one half inches (1) in depth, the Xquisite Foot Spa would consist of three (3) separate sections. The right side would offer a recessed niche that houses an appropriately sized pumice stone, upon which a user would place the foot, and rubbing in several directions, expediently exfoliate. Placed center, a microfiber, cushioned cloth would serve to swipe away any excess skin left behind by the exfoliating procedure. Lastly, the left side of the Xquisite Foot Spa would house a handy, rubber-bristled brush that is used to clean off the pumice stone after use. To ensure installation inside a shower or bath, the bottom surface would feature a series of suction cups that steadfastly adhere to the shower or bath floor. As an additional consideration, the Xquisite Foot Spa could be offered in a wide variety of colors to appeal to personal tastes, or to match virtually any bathroom decor.

(9) There are several benefits and advantages associated with this unique product invention.

With the Xquisite Foot Spa's combination of a pumice stone and cleansing, microfiber cloth, this practical product would ensure that unsightly dead skin is quickly and efficiently eradicated, without having to contort the body or engage in laborious scrubbing. Consumers suffering from limited mobility problems, such as sore and arthritic backs, will certainly appreciate that the handy Xquisite Foot Spa would eliminate painful, and sometimes impossible, attempts to reach the feet with a handheld instrument. Pregnant women will also love the ease inherent in the Xquisite Foot Spa, as it can be quite difficult for them to reach the feet while in the shower or bath. In addition to assisting them in the bath, this product would further provide these particular users with a sense of independence and confidence in being able to effectively clean themselves without assistance. As the Xquisite Foot Spa is safe to operate, it can be used and enjoyed by children as well as adults. Created ideally for the discerning female, this versatile product could be employed by anyone who wishes to ensure healthy, beautiful feet.
