Abstract:

An apparatus for the containment and dispensing of a lotion directly to the body of a user includes a container with a first opening and a cap adapted to cover the first opening. A center member is attached to the cap and extends in the container into a lotion that is housed within the container when the cap is disposed so as to cover the first opening. A lotion applicator portion is detachably-attached to a distal end of the center member. An extensible member is disposed in the center member and is adapted to retract therein or to extend therefrom sufficient to increase the combined length of the center member and the extensible member thereby permitting the applicator portion to reach a more remote part of the body of the user. A wiper is disposed in the container and is used to remove excess lotion from the center member and from the lotion applicator portion when the cap is removed from the container. An optional second opening includes a refill cap and is used to clean or to refill the container.
