ABSTRACT:
A fluid applicator device includes a cover layer and a pouch positioned adjacent a back side of said cover layer. A fluid composition is contained within the pouch. Exit structure is configured at a location on the pouch and is adjacent to the cover layer. The exit structure is in isolated fluid communication with a defined portion of the cover layer that is permeable to the fluid composition within the defined portion such that the fluid composition released from the pouch migrates through the cover layer only within the defined portion.
