Abstract: A wax applicator for use in a depilatory waxing procedure. The wax applicator has a body portion (10) with a mounting part (11) for the mounting of the body portion to a wax container (T). A flow passage (13) leads from the mounting part (11) to a narrow elongate outlet (14). Wax can flow from the container (T) along the flow passage (13) to the outlet (14). A spreader (15) is associated with the outlet (14). The spreader (15) has a distal edge located beyond the outlet so that in use wax issuing form the outlet (14) can spill over the distal edge of the spreader (15) as the applicator is moved forwardly in the direction in which the spreader (15) projects beyond the outlet (14).
