Vive Bendable Lotion Applicator for Your Back - Easily Apply Sunscreen, Self Tanner, Moisturizer, & Cream to Feet, Back, & Body - Long Handled Shower Wand Brush for Women & Men - Reusable, Washable

I bought this bc my spine is fused via titanium rods & screws. Which means that I can't bend like everyone else. Plus, I have a large degree of extra weight around my belly & lower belly. Which also impedes in my ability to reach my feet.Anyway, ... the handle appears to be 1 1/4 inch wide, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick & 4 inches long (not counting the hole where the rope for hanging goes through). It was easy to grip (I'm a female with an avg size hand).The 'stem' is thick & bendable. Quite a bit of strength is needed to bend it in the position that you'd like. So if you have weak or painful hands, you will need some help in putting it in the proper angle for your needs. BTW, it comes bent in half when you get it. I had to straighten mine out & bend it closer to the pad.The pads are firm & non-absorbent. Other reviewers seem to be unhappy about that. I found it beneficial. I need assistance in applying lotion type products & ointment type of medications on my feet. I cannot reach most of my feet. If the applicator pad was absorbent like a sponge, most of the products wouldn't get on my skin, bc they would be soaked up by the pad. This firm pad allowed me to squirt the medicine by the end of the pad & I could spread it around my heels & the rest of the bottom of my feet. It worked out well. I could even apply the lotion to the pad, hold the bottom of the pad down on the floor & rub the bottom of my foot around on top of the pad. That's 2 ways that it can be used.So far I am happy with this bendable lotion applicator!!! It really helps me & my T-Rex arms 🦖, big belly & non bendable back.I would recommend this item if you have difficulty in reaching your feet. I haven't tried it on my back or anywhere else yet. But, I'm confident that it would work just as well for your back.I think that it's worth taking the risk & getting. You won't know for yourself unless you try it. Good luck!!

This applicator worked exactly as stated.Did a great job of applying lotion even on the bottom of the feet. Very easy cleanup, soap and water and a good rinse, dab it with a towel and you’re done. Definitely worth the money

I'm using it too heal and care for back tattoo. With the ability to create a custom angle that fits my back and arm reach it is great! But unfortunately the durability is not great I've had the applicator since Feb 16 it is March 31. The handle and the arm broke this morning. Going to try to fix it. So quality could be better. Functionality Great.

This is the best thing to use if you can't reach certain areas on your body. Just bend the handle so that you can reach the area where you need the oil or lotion, put a little oil or some lotion on the sponge that is included and then spread it on your skin. It can be used for all areas of your body. Extra sponges are included.

This is one of the best products I have bought from Amazon or anywhere else. I have osteoarthritis in my shoulders and need to apply a analgesic cream several times a day. That has been almost impossible since I have difficulty lifting or bending my arms. Not any more. This is the perfect applicator for me. It is not hard to bend to the proper alignment. Apply the cream and apply. Simple. I can't speak to how long it will last but I will certainly replace it when it fails. I have purchased another applicator but the handle was too long and unwieldy.

Songs is stiff. Lotion and cream stick to sponge. Useless!!

I don't think it was worth the 16.95 I paid for this product, but when I sent it back for exchange because it was broken, they were very good about sending me an exchange in great shape and quickly. As I can't reach the bottom of my feet with lotion, it does a fairly good job because I wouldn't be able to reach them without it. I was thinking the pads themselves would be smaller but all in all it gets the lotion were it needs to be and for that I am grateful.

I bought this for my 87 yo mom with arthritis and a bad shoulder. The fact that this can be adjusted in different positions but holds firmly once bent into place make this ideal for my mom to apply salve on her back and shoulders without causing further pain. Highly recommended.
