Benefits of technology

The present invention is a small, compact, inexpensive, and flexible device that allows individual users to apply liquids to their own body, even to difficult areas. It is made up of an elongated rectangular body with looped ends that provide openings for fingers. The device has a unique ability to stretch and deform, allowing it to be used on different body parts. It can be easily moved and tensioned to apply liquid to areas that were previously difficult or impossible to reach. The technical effect of this invention is enabling users to apply liquids to their body in a simple, efficient, and flexible way.

Problems solved by technology

That spot is difficult, if not impossible, to reach.
Neglecting to cover areas of our body, like the middle of the back, can result in painful sunburns, which can lead to unwanted melanomas and other skin problems.
Some people are less flexible and have trouble applying lotion to their feet or other parts of their body.
Such people may need to apply lotion or a medicated ointment that is difficult to achieve by themselves.

Abstract

An applicator configured to allow a user to apply liquids to hard-to-reach areas of the user's body, such as the back. The applicator includes an elongated rectangular body of flexible material with looped ends made with a full-width of the body. The body is configured to receive and support the liquid as the user applies the liquid to their back. The looped ends are configured to allow the user to easily maneuver the applicator while keeping the body taught during application. The user inserts a finger in an opening through each end and pulls the ends in an opposite direction to span the applicator's full elongated length and width. This allows the applicator to reach remote areas of the body while allowing the user to easily apply even pressure along the full width of the liquid soaked applicator to evenly and accurately apply the liquid to a chosen body location.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]A flexible applicator configured to enable a user to apply liquids evenly and accurately to hard-to-reach areas of the user's body.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]People routinely apply liquid substances to their body for many purposes. For example, during the summer many people apply sun protection factor lotions, also known as SPF lotions, which provide protection for the skin from Ultraviolet (UV) rays. We all have run into the situation where we are ready for an adventure in the sun, we have applied SPF lotion to every spot on our body that we can reach, and then we have that spot in the middle of our back. That spot is difficult, if not impossible, to reach. Neglecting to cover areas of our body, like the middle of the back, can result in painful sunburns, which can lead to unwanted melanomas and other skin problems.[0005]Some people are less flexible and have trouble applying lotion to their feet or other parts of their body...
