The Back Buddie Lotion Applicator lends a helping hand when applying lotions - such as sun block, sun tan accellerators, self tanners, soothing creams, medical creams, insect repellents - to all those hard-to-reach areas of the body. The Back Buddie is designed in the shape of a large, fun cartoon hand. The applicator pad where lotion is applied is made from a soft, non-absorbant material.
