Terrible...almost painful
I used this to apply self tanner to my back thinking it would be more efficient than using a towel (which I had been using).  Turns out the towel method (the "free" method) is infinitely better.  For starters, the foam pad does a horrible job at smoothing out the lotion.  It is WAY too smooth and the lack of a frictional surface causes you to have to apply an intense amount of pressure just to be able to rub the lotion.  Secondly, and by far the deal breaker in my eyes, the sides of the pads have a tough ridge.  When rubbing the lotion along your back you will likely at some point use it at the wrong angle which causes the ridges of the pad to stab areas of your back.  This is now only painful but also will leave your back covered in scratches.  The handle is sturdy but because it is slightly arched you can't get any pressure on the pad when applying the lotion.<br /><br />Overall this is a horrible product and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone trying to find a tool to apply lotion to their back with.  You are much better off with the tried and true "towel method".  Save yourself the pain, the frustration, and the money and avoid this product at all costs.
