V. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(7) Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a scrubber assembly 20 and a fixing assembly 40. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

(8) The scrubber assembly 20 may include a scrubber 22 and protruding elements 24. The scrubber 22 may substantially have a rectangular curved shape. As best illustrated in FIG. 3 the scrubber 22 may curve outwardly. A central portion of the scrubber 22 may extend outwardly with respect to a top and bottom portion of the scrubber 22. It also may be suitable for the scrubber 22 to have a circular shape, a triangular shape, or any other suitable shape. In an exemplary embodiment the scrubber 22 may be made of silicone or rubber. The scrubber 22 may be flexible but hard enough to conserve a curved shape when a user scrubs his back thereagainst. It also may be suitable for the scrubber 22 to be made of fabric, polyethylene terephthalate, High-Density Polyethylene, wood, or any other suitable material. In yet another embodiment the scrubber 22 is made of silicone or rubber on the inside and a fabric on the outside. The scrubber 22 may be used to scrub the user's back or any other part of the user's body.
