A caring device for toes that includes a body and a pair of handles. The body is either tubular, flat, solid, or a sheet of rolled material for moving longitudinally between a pair of adjacent toes or is an endless loop for moving longitudinally and simultaneously between two pair of adjacent toes. The body is made of either cheesecloth, disposable paper, stockinet, or 100% cotton, is seamless and braidless for obviating risk of scarification of the toes caused by seams and braids when the body is moved between the toes during use, and is either dry for drying the toes so as to prevent formation of athletes foot and other skin irritations and odors originating from moisture or is impregnated with a medicinal powder or cream for preventing at least skin cracking, infection, and fungus. Each handle is either a ring that is attached to the body by either the associated free end of the body being knotted or stitched therearound or has the endless loop pass therethrough or is an associated free end of the body formed into fringes that are knotted to prevent unraveling of the body and for providing grasping portions that prevent the fringes from slipping through the hands. The fringes supplement the grasping portions of the knots by shifting accordingly and filling any gaps between the knots and the hand so as to provide a more contiguous grasping surface.
