One of the main reasons that the BackBliss product is so satisfying to use is its flexible handle and flexible head, which work together to match the contours of your back. This allows you to really feel what you are doing, whether you are using the lotion applicator or body scratcher and massager. In contrast, other similar products may be able to reach your back, but they lack the essential feel factor that the BackBliss offers. This unique combination of a flexible handle and head is what sets the BackBliss product apart from the competition.

There is no specific “best” time to use the BackBliss lotion applicator on the back, as it can be used at any time that is convenient for the user. However, many people find it helpful to use the applicator immediately after showering or bathing, as the skin is already moist and can better absorb the lotion or cream. This can help lock in hydration and promote healthy skin. Some people may also choose to use the applicator at other times of the day, such as after exercising or before bed, depending on their personal skincare routine. Ultimately, the most effective time to use the applicator will depend on the needs and preferences of the individual.

Caroline Wagstaff the inventor of BackBliss says ‘I developed the BackBliss Lotion & Cream Applicator to make it easier to apply lotions and creams to my own back. My original idea wasn’t to invent anything but to modify an existing washing-up brush by replacing the brush with a sponge, but this proved to be unsuccessful due to several problems. The sponge was too absorbent, the handle was too short, and it was hard to apply enough pressure to the sponge to effectively rub in anything to my back. Even though I could reach the centre of my back, I found that much of the lotion was absorbed by the sponge and it was difficult to apply any suncream effectively. I eventually had to come up with something myself. So I designed the BackBliss with a curved handle with a flexibility that allows the user to easily reach and apply pressure to the back, making it easy to apply lotions and creams effectively. Additionally, the BackBliss allows the user to feel what they are doing, which helps to ensure that the product is applied evenly and all over. 

Apply your chosen lotion or cream to the head of the applicator and gently move the applicator so that the soft velvet-like head makes contact with your back. You can then move the handle so that your the lotion begins to me smoothed over your back and shoulders.
