Sammons Preston Lotion Applicator with Massage Head, Long Handle and Foam Massaging for Back, Easily Apply Lotions, Creams, Oils, Pain Relief Gel, Suncreen, Mobility Aid

It does just what I wanted and is excellent value

Excellent- the massaging head for applying lotions of suitable viscocity. I use it to apply Dermol emollient cream, particularly, to the middle of my back. The cream can be "loaded" into the inner compartment and left in there for future use, the head being protected by the screw-on clear plastic cover. The "roller balls" give comfortable, satisfying feel as a massaging head and, also, apply the cream in an even fine film. Dermol cream is very difficult to apply and spread evenly by hand and this applicator could, also, be useful/ economical for those who wish to use the cream in the shower as a soap substitute.Poor - the "sponge" ointment applier. This a circular block of, what I think is, polystyrene. It is hard, and the edges are very uncomfortable in use. This head has to to be kept very flat to avoid discomfort when using on one's body, which is very difficult. It can be good for use on the arms and legs. When I took delivery I thought this polystyrene was a protective cover, but I failed to remove it!

The item is perfect for its purpose, but does not last for long. I purchased a second one after the 1st one broke. The 2nd one has also broken. They are not strong enough at the neck, and I am 100% sure I wasn't using too much energy to apply the lotion.

I have always suffered from Dry skin and need to moisturize top to toe after a bath or a shower.Not usually a problem - until I got an infection in my shoulder joint and have temporarily lost both movement and strength in my right arm. That means that I've not been able to put moisturizer on my left side or left arm and it was only a few days before I began to get skin problems.This handy gadget arrived the next day and is perfect for spreading lotions and potions over my skin without me having to apply any pressure whatsoever and the long handle makes it easy to reach my back and my legs too. Great item.

I’ve been looking for a long handle lotion applicator for ages. This is such a wonderful invention it makes life much easier. I have dry skin on my back and its not always easy trying to apply lotion. This is such a clever gadget does wonders. It’s easy to use and clean, it massages the area that you apply cream/lotion.

Firstly, when I took the product out of the packet it came in there appeared to be some black, oily residue on the inside of the massage head. I had to wipe the whole thing down. Then when I fitted the 'interchangeable ' head I could not get it off to test the other. I do not have a lot of strength in my hands and this was impossible for me to do without assistance. I dread to think how someone living alone would cope, especially if they have arthritis in their hands. Thirdly, the massage head is very poorly manufactured. The balls do not rotate and have excess plastic on from their moulding which stops them from rotating.

This was great until I decided to use a new head and when I tried to remove it, it was stuck and wouldn't come off with moderate force. When I applied more force it snapped! I may buy a new one and just stick to the one head (probably the sponge one as the roller one wasn't that efficient at getting emollient lotion out!)

I have always found it hard getting cream or oil to spread reasonably evenly over my back this does the trick I spray my back with oil then use the foam massager to spread evenly over my back, you can also use the other attachment put cream in it & rub this over your back, tada a moisturised back.this is my 2nd one the 1st one the handle snapped but I had, had it a long time,
