PERSONAL HYGIENE DEVICE

The present disclosure is concerned with a personal hygiene device having a handle intended for being grasped by a user, a treatment head intended for being pressed against a body portion of a user, wherein the treatment head is pivotably connected with the handle so that applying a treatment force against the treatment head at least along a treatment direction leads to a pivoting of the treatment head relative to the handle around a pivot axis, a sensor for measuring a measurement variable, in particular a Hall sensor, fixedly secured with respect to one of the handle and the treatment head, a sensor cooperation unit for defining or influencing the measurement variable in dependence on the relative position of the sensor and the sensor cooperation unit, in particular a sensor permanent magnet, fixedly secured with respect to the other one of the handle and the treatment head, and a spring unit for defining a rest position of the treatment head when no treatment force is applied at the treatment head, where the spring unit has a first spring constant in the treatment direction and a second spring constant in a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the treatment direction, which second spring constant is at least about two times higher than the first spring constant.
