Abstract

A back applicator enables a user to apply lotion to his own back or multiple users to apply lotion in succession in a sanitary manner. The back applicator includes a base plate and first and second straps coupled to opposed sides thereof and extending in opposed directions. At least one of the straps is length adjustable such that the length of the applicator device may be selectively changed.

The applier may be a sponge to which a lotion may be applied or that may be pro-loaded with lotion. The applier may include a clip having resilient members complementary to an opening defined by the base plate such that the applier may be attached to the base plate, used, and then disposed of after lotion has been applied.
