An extruded scrim (12) having a diamond-mesh pattern is used to construct a personal cleansing implement. The diamond-mesh material is produced from a hydrophobic flexible polymer. The implement (10) comprises a piece of tubular scrim having a longitudinal axis. The tubular scrim is stretched transversely to the longitudinal axis and is gathered parallel to tile longitudinal axis to form circumferential pleats. In one embodiment the stretched and gathered tubular scrim is heat set in its expanded and pleated condition. A second piece of tubular scrim is placed inside the pleated and expanded scrim tubing. One end of the second piece is inverted over the outside of the pleats and connected to the other end to envelop the pleated and expanded scrim buting. In another embodiment the pleats are not heat set and remain resilient. This embodiment has a means for confining the circumferential pleats from axial expansion. A band of material is looped through the scrim tubing and around its outer surface. Pleats are then evenly distributed around the loop to form a toroidal shaped implement. The personal cleansing implement of the present invention has a high open area, without a dense center core to inhibit rinsing and drying.

On utilise une gaze extrudée (12) présentant une configuration de mailles déployées en losanges, afin de réaliser un ustensile de toilette. Le matériau de mailles déployées en losanges est fabriqué à partir d'un polymère souple hydrophobe. L'ustensile (10) est composé d'une pièce de gaze tubulaire présentant un axe longitudinal. On étire la gaze tubulaire transversalement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal et on la rassemble parallèlement audit axe, afin d'obtenir des plis concentriques. Dans un mode de réalisation, la gaze étirée et rassemblée est thermodurcie en état expansé et replié. On replie une extrémité de la deuxième pièce au-dessus del'extérieur des plis et on l'accouple à l'autre extrémité, afin d'envelopper le bout de la gaze repliée et expansée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les plis ne sont pas thermodurcis et conservent leur élasticité. Ce mode de réalisation possède un moyen servant à empêcher l'expansion axiale des plis concentriques. On enroule une bande de matériau à travers le tube en gaze et autour de la surface extérieure dudit tube. On répartit ensuite les plis régulièrement autour de la boucle, afin d'obtenir un ustensile de forme toroïdale. Cet ustensile présente une zone très ouverte exempte de partie centrale dense empêchant le rinçage et le séchage.
