Review on Long-Handled Back Lotion Applicator With Tea Tree Oil, Aloe Vera, And Self-Applicator Pad For Body Wash, Shower Gel, Tanning Lotion, And Back Acne Gel - Includes 1 Hook And 1 Pad by Jared Poinson

Staying in my house so much with this pandemic going on, my normally smooth skin has gotten terribly dry. I am applying a lot of lotion now, much more than I used to. I needed something to apply it to my back, and this applicator does the job very well. It does not come with extra pads, and doesn't need to, the way it's made. The head is solid, but porous enough to hold the lotion, yet I can see that it's not something that would wear out very soon and need to be replaced. It's just fine for me. The makers went a little overboard, though, by finishing the wooden handle with some kind of lacquer, which is very nice, but it gets slippery after a while unless you can keep the lotion off your hands (hard to do). A better handle would be like the wooden ones (with loofahs) in my shower -- no finish at all, providing a much better grip. The lotion applicator also has a plastic handle on the wood handle, which really gets slippery for me, so I don't use it. It only takes a tiny smudge of lotion on my hands to have trouble with the handle, even though I try to be very careful. It doesn't stop me from using the applicator, however. I like the hook that came with it. Hanging it on the wall above the tub/shower is very handy. A very thoughtful touch. I like this applicator very much and recommend it highly.
