Aquasentials Easy Lotion Applicator

This is one of the best products that I have purchased on Amazon!I have a spot on my back that is impossible to reach when I lotion my body. That spot has itched for years driving me crazy even in the middle of the night. I bought a shower brush to reach my back for cleansing and I found this item to help with applying lotion. My back no longer itches!I read how some people are complaining about the pad being hard but that is what makes it great. If it was soft it would absorb the lotion causing you to have to use more. The lotion clings to the pad and applying it to the back is pretty easy.

I’ve had this item for many years, purchased from Amazon, 2015 I love it. It does an excellent job at applying lotion or cream to your back. The pad itself is soft to the touch (like suede) and textured, but is a very firm closed cell foam. I think the firm texture prevents the lotion from being absorbed into the pad, I think this is a good thing. I prefer having my lotion or cream on my back, not on the pad. For me, ideally I wish the pad itself was a slightly more narrow, but regardless, I love it. I wish I had retained the plastic bag. It came in, silly goose me.

Works good after a shower to put lotion on a dry back.

Perfect! Got a back tattoo and couldn't get the lotion on it very easily. This was a great purchase! I was able to keep lotion on the tattoo as it was healing and now I'm using it to keep sunscreen on it when I'm outside. Should have bought one years ago!

A life saver! Get yourself one. Well made. Easy to cy.

This is just ok. Doesn’t rub in the lotion too great.

Good Brush!

Seems simple enough, apply product to pad, rub across skin... yeah, have you ever tried rubbing backwards, behind yourself, with a mirror in your other hand?! I'm sure it was comical to watch the first time I used this as I was repeatedly outwitted by a sponge on a stick!I purchased the Aquasentials Easy Lotion Applicator to apply sun block to my back. When it arrived this nifty product looked like something you'd see hanging on a rack at Bed Bath & Beyond. Its display packaging, a heavy zip style bag, was unexpected and a nice touch, allowing you to cover the pad when needed (or for anything else you may need a small, heavy zip bag for). The pad itself is soft to the touch (like suede) and textured, but is a very firm closed cell foam. Pushing as hard as I could I was only able to compress it a slight amount. I was happy to see it has more than enough strength to maintain its shape during use. Thankfully as well, the pad doesn't have any offensive odor (as manufactured foams sometimes do). I could barely smell anything even with it held up to my nose. The handle of the applicator is a pretty light pine color and is curved to make placing the pad flat on your back easier. Being a wooden handle it also feels better in your hand than plastic handles and is less likely to twist and break as well. It also features a bit of rope tied through a hole in the handle should you desire to hang it, but the hole isn't very smooth so the rope hangs up a bit rather than sliding cleanly, admittedly a minor detail though.While the applicator was surprisingly more of a challenge to use than I expected it definitely reaches every part of your back with ease. Just keeping the pad at the proper angle to spread the lotion will take some practice. The pad itself feels soft on your skin though and while it may take a bit longer than applying lotion with your hands, it does great job of working the lotion in and evening everything out!Cleaning the pad after use was the easiest part. A bit of liquid hand soap and water, some rubbing and a rinse... a few minutes and you're done! Attempting to clean it with water alone did not work. Even though the closed cell foam doesn't allow the lotion to absorb into the sponge very far, it still needed soap to break down the lotion and allow it to be rinsed off. Once dry (couple hours) no residue from the lotion could be felt. The product tag says to replace every three months, but I suspect it should last considerably longer.Overall I really liked this lotion applicator. It's a great product at a reasonable price... I'd say the Aquasentials Easy Lotion Applicator deserves its five start rating!
