Back & Body Lotion Applicator

The bakslap story

Safe body. Clean hands.
Great cause.

G’day, I’m Raph; keen Aussie surfer and lover of the great outdoors. It was the tragic loss of my beautiful sister Tess to melanoma skin cancer at age 31, that inspired me to create bakslap.

Our lotion applicator solves the problem of trying to apply lotion to hard to reach places...like the middle of your back! Originally developed to offer protection & awareness when enjoying the sunshine, we quickly discovered from customers just how versatile bakslap is.

Today you'll find it being used by hospitals, dermatologists, in aged care, for home beauty and for sunscreen.

Our team is proud to be helping spread awareness of melanoma skin cancer & raise valuable dollars for research. To learn more...

Volkswagen partnership

With skin cancer numbers on the rise, particularly in South East Queensland, raising the awareness of sun safety is vital. Recently, bakslap has formed a partnership with Cricks Volkswagen Sunshine Coast with a brand new Volkswagen Caddy Van with bakslap branding to help promote sun safety.

“The initiative with Australia’s Biggest Bakslap takes the sun safety message all over the country which shows where a simple idea can take you. And for Raph and his team, we know the new Volkswagen Caddy will help make the journey he is on even easier,” Dean Stuart, Dealer Principal.

Love this product this is my second one i use it to apply my blockout & also my fake tan 😊

Recently received my bakslap & love it. Use one pad for sunscreen & the other for moisturiser. Bought a second one for a friend.
Awesome product. Fast postage. Thank you

Bought 2 of these for my mum who has trouble with dry skin and being able to apply on her back and legs. The back slap is working well for her and she is able to apply her creme without any strain. Construction - it is very sturdy and it will last forever.
My mum is very happy.

My poor back never got sunscreen or moisturizing but all changed now with the bakslap. So easy to use ..it's an excellent invention...love it ❤️

Fantastic! I use for moisturiser, as i cant reach & live alone.

This is amazing and as a person who is often alone while applying sunscreen I found this fantastic to use.
Thank you so much for designing this and I will spreading my appreciation far and wide.
Thank you also for donating towards finding a cure for cancer.
