Abstract: A liquid applicator device that is particularly designed for the application of sun tan lotion and the like over one's body, wherein the applicator device consists of an elongated handle having a head or paddle member located at one end of the handle so as to be received in an applicator pad. The applicator pad includes an internal cavity adapted to receive the head member of the handle in a removably secure manner whereby the applicator pad is prevented from being removed from the handle inadvertently while applying lotion to one's body, but yet can be removed manually when required for cleaning or when replacing of the pad, as required.
