You go to the beach, set up your towel, strip down a start spreading lotion on yourself. Now you have greasy hands that get sand and lotion on everything you touch. Even your tuna salad sandwich tastes like Coppertone®. But now, there is a better way. Roll-on Lotion, just like your deodorant, spreads it on evenly and quickly while keeping your hands dry. Of course you will need to overlap your strokes for complete coverage. In a variety of scents and widths.

There's a reason you don't see this stuff in stores very often. It sucks ass.

It comes in spray form, too. Even better than roll-on.

Well, that depends on your point of view, I suppose.

Ah-Ha! how about edible suntan lotion you can apply it to your partner with your tongue

I'm getting this mental picture of this flabby, middle-aged, hairy-backed guy asking everyone at the beach to help him apply his edible suntan lotion <yech! shudder>

Excuse me, I have to go wash my mind out with soap...

Hack...Kaff...Blurp! Sorry, hairball.
Given that they produce less mess, etc. as lbunting said, I wonder why the alternatives to smear-on sunscreen aren't more common.
