Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for use by a person for applying liquid preparations, such as lotions, creams, and the like, across portions of the body of such person is disclosed. The apparatus includes an integral elongated reticulated fabric folded along its major axis to form a body of double thickness so that one edge of the fabric along its length is characterized by the fold, and the opposite edge is characterized by overlapped bare terminations. The fabric has two spaced lines of transverse stitching centrally located so as to form a pocket. The fabric has longitudinal stitching along the bare terminations extending outwardly from the pocket. Loops are formed on opposite ends of the fabric by transverse stitching of folded-over ends of the fabric. A disposable pad, such as paper, is adapted to be inserted into the pocket.
