A Reachable Solution

I have spent the last three years contorting my spine like a wayward philodendron vine just to moisturize my own back. My apartment is so cramped with monsteras that there is hardly room for a human to stretch, let alone reach behind themselves with any grace.

Enter the Yiesoum Back Lotion Applicator. It is a long, stiff wand that looks like a specialized tool for misting high-shelf ferns.

It is utilitarian, reasonably priced at ten dollars, and perfectly effective at its one job. I mostly appreciate that the handle is sturdy enough to withstand me accidentally knocking it against a ceramic pot during a frantic spider mite treatment.

This tool is odd, quiet, and does not require a charging cable, which is the gold standard for my home office. It is essentially a grooming extension cord for your own anatomy.

If you have ever felt like a dried-out succulent, this thing is your watering can. It is functional, cheap, and surprisingly delightful.

My shoulder blades are finally as hydrated as my Boston fern, and I did not have to snap a single leaf to get there.
