An applicator of one embodiment is for applying a sheet member to skin. The applicator includes: a body including a bottom plate configured to face the skin and a bending portion provided to the bottom plate; a cap being movable along a slide direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom plate; and an elastic member configured to extend along the slide direction between the body and the cap. The elastic member applies, to the cap, elastic force that acts in a direction away from the bottom plate, the cap being movable toward the bottom plate against the elastic force. The bending portion bends the sheet member that has advanced thereto in a pressed state in which the cap has been moved toward the bottom plate, thereby applying the sheet member to the skin.
