Abstract: An applicator includes a main body, a storage chamber disposed in the main body, an application body disposed at an end of the main body to allow application of the liquid stored in the storage chamber. A partition for partitioning between the storage chamber side and the application body side, includes a flow passage to supply the liquid in the storage chamber to the application body. An axially movable air communication pipe having an air port open to the storage chamber, which abuts on the partition to close the flow passage, communicates the storage chamber with the atmosphere while having the flow passage closed. A spring member for urging the air communication pipe to abut on the partition, and separating the air communication pipe from the partition through vibration of the main body allows guiding of the liquid in the storage chamber.
