I dance in ballroom dance competitions and since I am very pasty-pale-skinned, I have to put self-tanner lotion all over, including my back. Before I got this applicator, it used to take hours of painstaking reaching and the tanner ended up all streaky and uneven. With this applicator, it takes literally FIVE MINUTES for a very even, smooth self-tan that reaches all across my back. The right tools make a HUGE difference! :)
I really like this product. My back itched from dry skin all winter long as I could not apply lotion on my own and I hated to constantly have to call my husband to do it. I now use it after every shower and my back has stopped itching. Not sure if a more liquid lotion would stay on the vinyl without dripping as you place the applicator on your back. I use a rather thick lotion; apply it in a few spots in the middle of the applicator; grab it with both hands, maneuver to my back and start pulling back and forth. Nothing drips; change hands and rub some more to get both sides completely. The vinyl is soft, but not absorbent, so it is very easy to wipe down or wash. I do find that the vinyl applicator can twist a bit as you apply the lotion or maneuver it around to each side of your back. When this happens, I'm not sure if the side with the lotion is facing in or out. This is not a major issue but I'd like to suggest that each side of the Body Buddy be a different color so you could always know that you have lotion facing toward you back. I would easily give it five stars if: (1) it were a bit shorter, (2) each side of the the applicator was a different color. Still, highly recommend.
I had started with the long brush where you add lotion inside, it worked somewhat but after a time, the lotion got all caked up & the inside hard to clean so I have been looking for something that would put lotion on my hard to reach places, this does it SO well. It is SO easy to apply, SO easy to use & SO easy to clean - amazing, so glad someone came up with this product - I must definitely recommend it to all who have dry skin & those hard to reach places. Truly amazing product.
I had one of these years ago and used it every day. I really liked it, but over the years it disappeared. I have been looking for another one for a long time and thought I would just give Amazon a try. I should have known better. Amazon has had everything I have ever looked for. And, you can put it in the washing machine which I wish I had know before. That will make keeping it clean a lot easier.
I paid more for this than some other lotion applicators, but it is worth every penny! For the first time, I am able to moisturize all over my back. The winter makes my skin so itchy and dry. I have a lot of trouble applying lotion (partly because I can only move my right shoulder a little). This is fast, easy, and effective. I even travel with it. It folds compactly, and hardly takes up any space. The elastic loops look like they might stretch out, but I don't use them... I just hold the ends. The lotion doesn't absorb into the fabric at all. Every once in a while, the applicator needs a quick wipe. I love it!! EDITED........ This is the 4th winter I've been using this applicator. It has held up very nicely over time. Granted... I do not use this every single day and I don't use the elastic loops, but I just thought I'd share that it's still getting the job done!

Description
You know that little spot in the middle of your back, just below your shoulder blades that you cannot quite reach? Sure you do. It is the one that always seems to get burned after a day in the sun, that remains pale even after applying sunless tanner and itches constantly because it is not well-moisturized. And you are not alone it is a spot everyone misses.Until now, there was no solution. The patented Body Buddy non-absorbent lotion applicator provides the extra reach you need to apply products to your own back.If your Body Buddy is a little chilly, warm with a hair drier and enjoy a soothing application. Need to clean your Body Buddy? No problem. An occasional machine wash will do. Tumble dry low.
I live alone (itchy back because I can't put cream on it, achy because I can't reach the middle with my pain rub after weeding, no tan because I-just-can't-reach-it!). No problem anymore with this amazing, wonderful, ingenious invention! So easy to use. Does not absorb the product (so no wasted creams). Cleans up fast and easy. LOVE IT!
This is the best invention for dry back skin ever. I struggled for years with little applicators attached to long handles. NO MORE! I put a blob of Aveeno lotion on the strip (any brand will do), move it around a little, then flop it over onto my back. The lotion is quickly all over my back and I am completely moisturized. Magic! My back feels as though a professional has applied moisturizer to it. I wash it with a load in my washing machine, then wipe it dry with a cloth (another 30 seconds at most). F. Parker
i use this to put Vanicream lotion or Eucerin cream on my back. I do seem to go through a lot more lotion when I use it. I think because the surface that makes contact with your back is slight textured -- and it HAS to be textured to hold the lotion -- not all the lotion you put on it actually makes it onto your skin. Perfectly logical. Not really a complaint. And of course if you have super dry skin like I do you really have very few options other than the Body Buddy. I would definitely recommend it.
This is a replacement purchase. I am actually still using my original, but the straps are going to give out one of these days and I did not want to be without this extremely practical item. Original purchase is over six years old, so this is a very durable product. I have found it absolutely ideal for applying lotion to my back. I have also used it to apply sun block. Do I wish these were cheaper? Without a doubt, but considering how long this has lasted, I am well satisfied. If you have someone to tend to your back, you might not need this. If, like me, you don't, I am sure you would be as happy with this product as I am. Highly recommended.
Good quality, easy to store and convenient for application. A little difficult keeping sufficient lotion on applicator due to smooth surface on applicator. Otherwise, good product.
