Vive Lotion Applicator for Back, Feet (17.5") - Self Washer Beauty Shower Sponge, Long Handle Cream Wand for Elderly, Women - Apply Medicine, Skin Cream, Body Wash, Sunscreen

It does work to apply lotion to my back. I love you can replace the head, so keep micro-organisms at bay. The lotion does not absorb into the head, so no waste. It has a flat, semi-solid surface. It took me a few times using it to get used to the angle needed to apply thoroughly, but my back thanks Vive.

Works better than expected. It was easy to apply my favorite lotion on my entire back

It's a nice tool. Light, nice grip, but the head is stiff, so its harder to maneuver to get the lotion onto your skin. My old one was a sponge end, which was flexible so easier to use. But you had the hassle of washing and replacing sponges. Assume I will get better with practice as I like this model.

I didn't know how hard it was to use a different one I bought previously on Amazon, (though I had an idea), the one with the solid round pvc handle that turned around and around while useing it, and even slipped out of my hand if I got lotion on the blue smooth handle cover, until I got this one! This is so much easier to use, works better, and is so much lighter in weight too-good for arthritic hands, etc., that it is so much nicer to use in comparison. I use it mainly on my back for Psoriasis. I love the flat handle with the ribbed grip, that allows you to know it is facing flat so the lotion is applied more evenly (unlike a round stick that is hard to tell how it is oriented to your body if you can't see it). Another great feature is the non-absorbing harder foam pad that feels soft to the touch, and will not snag on any flaky skin like the more fabric like pad of the other wand would at times, so it is more soothing to use, and less irritating. The lightweight but sturdy wooden handle is less tiring on you than the heavy pvc one. Is it perfect? I think there could be an improvement for some if there were a choice of a little longer and wider handle were offered, so people with larger hands and larger areas to cover (like a back) might find it a little easier. But I'm not complaining-it is so much better than my old one, that I am just grateful to have found it. It is so simple too-no complicated system for attaching a pad-it just pushes on and pulls off-great! The other one I was using before has a white disk that is glued on the end, that the pad attached to-but it fell off and I lost it, luckily, so I had to order something else. Thank you Vive for having your thinking caps on when you designed this one!!!

This works fairly well for me. The angle is a bit off, and I have to bend over to reach around. I use it for lotion application. I wish that the sponge was more flexible.

Great applicator! I use it for Lotions, and oils. It is light weight, sturdy, and proper length. It’s easy to clean applicator, and also easy to change when exhausted. It comes with 4 application pads, and also a handy hook to hang on! Great value.

I have purchased two of these. I use one for putting lotion on my back in the dry Colorado winter and it works very well. The lotion doesn't soak into the pad but gets on your skin. The handle is comfortable and it reaches all the way around my back. It is easy to clean and comes with two extra pads. I don't think I'd use it to put on self tanner, there isn't that much control. Our son uses it to put acne cream on his back and it works really well for him as well. This is a great product and is worth the money. I recommend this product.

I had shoulder surgery (removed bone and muscle) so I have limited range of motion on my dominant arm. This is very useful in not only just moisturizing my back, but putting medication on the giant scar (top of shoulder to mid back). It’s not like a soft kitchen sponge so if you have dips in your back or contours from trying to turn and reach, this won’t work for you. This is harder, almost like a styrofoam block, so it doesn’t absorb your product and does actually spread it. Also yes the hole in the pad is circular and the stick is rectangular, but it’s done on purpose to prevent it from popping out easily. It does in fact stick on with minimal effort. I just got it so I will update if this easily breaks after little use.

This works great for any lotion I want to put on my back.

It’s an excellent product . Easily washable . Doesn’t soak water . Easy application and reach

Yo soy nadadora y nunca me alcanzaba la espalda para ponerme crema después de nadar. Está ideal para untar crema.

it is do its job

Tiene buena calidad de madera del mango y de la esponja para la crema Pero la rigidez de palo y que no es ergonómico lo hacen difícil de usar, falta flexibilidad .
