Vive Bendable Lotion Applicator for Your Back - Easily Apply Sunscreen

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!!

So far after using a month it has been wonderful to put lotion or medicine on my back myself.

The handle is very study. You have to pull it to get it in position. Works well. It iscable to reach spots on.back

This is great if you live alone or just value your independence. Truly been a god send when I e been sunburned a few times.

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.

Easy to use - great after an operation and you can’t bend, but need to apply lotion 🩷

I LOVE this. If I go to the beach or the pool solo, I don’t have to worry about my back not getting enough sunscreen. It’s well made, and so easy to use. Just put a bit of the sunscreen on the pad, and the handle bends to get at those hard to reach spots on your back. I haven’t had a sunburn since I got this wand. It’s wonderful. What a great invention.

Was nice thing like I expected, pads were very hard and did not evenly spread lotion. Handle was very hard and difficult to adjust. So bad I returned it the same day. I would never use again.
