I'm really liking this lotion applicator. I'd been wanting something like this for a while now. I can get the areas of my back i could never reach before. No more having to rely on my hubby to help. It will especially be useful during those winter months when the skin on my back tends get really dry %26 hence itchy. I also really like that handle folds up for easier storage %26 travel. I'm thinking I will be able to wash the roller part of it, but have yet to do so, I've only wiped any excess lotion left on it off, with a paper towel or wash cloth. I very rarely take the time to write reviews, but I thought this was a great practical product, that may be very useful to many.
