Abstract

A bilaterally collapsible bathing receptacle, includes a contiguous expanse of a resilient plastic material having a first concavely curved surface and an opposing convexly curved surface; and a first hinge extending from a first end to an opposing second end of the expanse, wherein the first hinge longitudinally bisects the expanse and defines opposing longitudinal bilateral halves thereof, and the expanse is configured to assume an open, bowl-like configuration in a relaxed state, and when inwardly compressed laterally, flexes along the first hinge and places the respective first surfaces of the opposing bilateral halves into confrontation with one another. The expanse may possess a generally uniform thickness throughout excepting the first hinge. The first surface of the expanse may be less concavely curved at a central region aligned with the first hinge than at a lateral region lying outwardly relative to the central region.
