Introduction
The Body Buddy Non-Absorbent Lotion Applicator is designed to assist in the self-application of lotions, creams, and ointments to hard-to-reach areas of the body, particularly the back. Its non-absorbent surface ensures that the product is transferred directly to your skin, minimizing waste and maximizing effectiveness. This manual provides instructions for proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal use of your Body Buddy.
Setup
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your Body Buddy, carefully remove it from its packaging. Inspect the applicator for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. If any issues are found, contact customer support.
First Use Preparation
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, it is recommended to wash the Body Buddy. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for detailed cleaning instructions.
- Drying: Ensure the applicator is completely dry before applying any lotions or creams.
Operating Instructions
Applying Lotion to the Applicator
Dispense a suitable amount of your desired lotion, cream, or ointment directly onto the non-absorbent surface of the Body Buddy. Distribute it evenly along the central portion of the applicator.
Using the Applicator
- Positioning: Hold one handle of the Body Buddy in each hand. Bring the applicator over one shoulder, allowing the lotion-covered surface to rest against your back.
- Application: Gently move the applicator back and forth across your back, using the handles to control the movement and pressure. Ensure the lotion is spread evenly over the desired area.
- Reaching All Areas: Adjust your grip and arm position as needed to reach all parts of your back. The flexible design allows for comprehensive coverage.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Body Buddy
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and prolong the life of your applicator.
- After Each Use: Rinse the applicator thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap immediately after each use to remove any lotion residue.
- Machine Washing: The Body Buddy is machine washable. Place it in a laundry bag or pillowcase to protect it during the wash cycle. Use cold water and a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Air dry the applicator completely before storing. Do not use a machine dryer, as high heat may damage the material.
Storage
Store the clean and dry Body Buddy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You may hang it by its handles for convenient storage.
