Abstract The back applicator is used to apply lotions, creams, oils, and other soothing and medicating substances to the back area where it is difficult to reach. By simply applying your favorite lotion onto the pad, it can be evenly distributed over the body. The applicator pad can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement purposes to provide for maximum cleanliness and health reasons. The applicator is equipped with a free-floating pad which will conform to the back as you slide it gently and smoothly over your skin. The pad is made of resilient absorbant material and is attached to the pad housing by a quick grasp of the Velcro fabric, therefore, making it easy to remove. The pad can be cleaned simply with soap and water. After it becomes worn, new pads can be purchased. The knurled surface of the handle allows the user to secure a good grip.
