Device for applying liquid or creamy substances

Abstract

It is desribed a device for applying a liquid or creamy substance, e.g. sunoil, suncream, polish, shoepolish etc. The device comprises a rear, impermeable layer ( 1 ), a porous layer ( 2 ) containing the substance to be applied and optionally a tear-off layer ( 3 ). The porous layer ( 2 ) can e.g. comprise a foamed plastic material, a nonwoven material or a bristlelike material. Optionally the porous layer ( 2 ) in addition is provided with holes or perforations.
