PERSONAL BODY CLEANING DEVICE

The present invention relates to a body care appliance for personal use, in particular in the form of a toothbrush, having a manually guidable care tool, in particular a toothbrush, as well as a display device for displaying interactive representations that can be controlled interactively from the care tool by means of a control device, wherein a sensing device for sensing at least one operating parameter relating to the body care and/or the care tool is provided, depending on which the representations can be controlled by the control device. According to the invention the initially referenced sensing device has position sensing means for sensing the relative position of the care tool relative to a body part of the appliance user to be cared for, wherein the representation displayed on the display device is controlled depending on the sensed relative position. The screen representation can hereby advantageously be a virtual animated representation that simulates the body care procedure, wherein the animation is controlled depending on the sensed relative position of the actual care tool relative to the actual body part of the appliance user.
