Need help.... applying lotion????

How in the world do you apply lotion to your back?

Wouldn't you know my skin is driest on my back and I can't reach to apply any lotion. Now if hubby is home at the time, I get him to do it. But how do you do it for yourself?

Good question? I guess you could get one of those long sticks with a sponge on it for washing. Just squirt some lotion on it and rub it on.

Good question. I put lotion on the back side of my hand and and twist my arm behind my back and get it as best I can. LOL!

That is a good questions. I can't think f anything but a long stick with some kind of sponge attached to it. I'd ask someone else to apply it for me.

I have something like this:

Have had it for years. I have seen items like it at bath and body works kind of places, but even at Target-type stores.

You put the lotion or oil inside, screw the top on, and the little roller-balls roll lotion on for you. If you roll it around enough, it all rubs in, but you can take a towel over your back afterward to make sure you're not TOO gooey. Works great!

Thanks everyone! Cab54 that thing looks just the ticket and the price is right! Thank you so much.

Good question. My back is probably the least place to get
lotion unless my husband is home. I try to reach as far
back as I can, half way with one hand and half way with
the other. I like the item shown above though.
Might consider getting one.

I've seen thingies designed for this purpose--don't remember how much they cost, but they do exist. They sell them at some tanning salons, but there they'd probably be overpriced.
