Easy Reach for Cleansing Sensitive Areas
This is the product that got Amplestuff started in 1988: A sponge-on-a-handle that changed showering and other cleanup from a difficult experience into the pleasurable, effective one it should be. Nancy Summer, an Amplestuff co-founder, says, "I was upset when I realized that I couldn't reach every part of my body, but we did some research and found the Ample-Sponge. We also learned that many people of all sizes have reach problems, and that it's nothing to be embarrassed about. You just need the right tools."
The Ample-Sponge is a soft sponge on a firm handle that extends your reach in the bath or shower. It's also a great "travel" item for people who want to freshen up while out of the house, or who have reach problems when using the toilet (when a bidet isn't available).
The Ample-Sponge refills come in the colors BLUE and YELLOW. Of the two colors, blue is a little softer, and yellow is a little coarser to the touch. It is totally a matter of personal preference as to which is better.
If you order refills in one of the colors, but would like to try one in the other color, or a different size, please do the following: When you check out, please type the following in the customer comment field: "Please substitute a yellow sponge for one of the blue" or "Please substitute a blue sponge for one of the yellow." Or, "Please substitute a narrow sponge for one of the standard size." (And so forth ...) There is no charge for this option.
The Ample-Sponge Consists of a 5/8 inch diameter PVC handle and replaceable, screw-in sponge heads. You can re-use the handle and just reorder new sponge heads as you need them. Longer and shorter handles are available. We also make a compact two-part handle to fit into smaller bags. Hand-made in USA by craftspeople in Woodstock, NY. Includes instructions.
| Some notes about using the Ample-Sponge |
|
Ample-Sponges are washable. With proper care, in daily use a sponge can last from one month to a year, depending on individual usage, the type of soap, and the water supply. Water supplies that are alkaline (rather than acidic) can degrade the sponge faster than a Ph. neutral water supply.
People use the Ample-Sponge for bathing, as a lotion applicator, or as an aid in cleanup after toileting. Some customers like to wrap a baby wipe around a narrow head and use it as a disposable wiper-on-a-stick.

Product Details
Ample-Sponge Starter Kit – Includes one 10" handle plus two sponge heads (one standard width blue and one narrow width yellow)
Order the following refills separately when you already have a handle, or you are ordering new handles.
Ample-Sponge Standard Head Refills – Refill sponge heads of the standard width. Order quantities of 2 or 6, in colors BLUE or YELLOW.
Ample-Sponge Narrow Head Refills – Refill sponges about 25% narrower than standard sponge heads. Order quantities of 2 or 6, in colors BLUE or YELLOW.
Order one or more handles separately when you already have the sponge heads you need, or you are ordering refills of your preferred type. Note that 10 inch handles are the most popular, but many people prefer longer or shorter lengths. If you have never tried an Ample-Sponge, it may be best to order the starter kit, which comes with a 10 inch handle, and later order a handle of a different length, if you like.
Ample-Sponge Medium Handle – for general use. Sponge not included. From 8" to 14". $12.95
Ample-Sponge Longer Handle – mainly for reaching feet, they are inconvenient for general use or personal hygiene. Sponge not included. From 16" to 22". $20.95
Ample-Sponge Longest Handle (Special) – mainly for reaching feet for very tall people who have trouble bending over, they are inconvenient for general use or personal hygiene. Sponge not included. From 24" to 36". $26.95
When ordering any handle longer than 14 inches, we suggest using a ruler, yardstick, or tape measure to determine the length you really need. Don't forget to allow for the length of the sponge heads, which are 3 inches long.
Ample-Sponge Two-Part Handle – A handle that can be unscrewed into two parts (plus sponge head) for easy carrying in a purse or fanny pack. The 10" handle will fit in a 7" space. The 12" handle will fit in an 8" space. The 14" handle will fit in a 9" space. Sponge not included. From 10" to 14". $25.95
