Abstract
Abstract A massage device is formed as a plane blade-like extended area of resilient material provided with or constituted by a plurality of massage elements to form an operative massage surface as distinct from a massage bundle of for example birch twigs in a sauna bath. The blade-like area comprises a flat blade with rounded depressions in it. It may be hollow, so that it can be loaded with water to vary the weight, in which a case the handle may be shaped and orificed to provide a vaginal douche.
