The present application pertains to an applicator device for applying a fluid comprising an elongate hollow body (16) having a proximal end and a distal end； an applicator pad (24) disposed at the distal end of the hollow body； and an actuator sleeve (26) to be inserted within the hollow body, the actuator sleeve including at least one longitudinal projection (94) that distally projects； wherein when the actuator sleeve is distally translated within the hollow body, the at least one longitudinal projection distally acts upon a cap portion (40) of a fluid containing container (12), to open the cap portion distally from a main body portion of the fluid containing container, thus releasing the liquid from the container to the applicator pad, the fluid containing container being located within the hollow body such that the cap portion is distally located, and further, the fluid containing container is inhibited from being distally and circumferentially translated.液体を塗布するための塗布具（１４）が提供される。塗布具は、ハンドルを含んでもよい。ハンドルは、近位端及び遠位端を有する細長い中空体（１６）と、中空体の外壁の内面上に配置され、該容器が中空体内に配置されるときに、液体を収容するための容器（１２）を配向し、且つ案内するように構成された、少なくとも１つの長手方向内側リブとを備えてもよい。加えて、塗布具は、中空体の遠位端に基部（２２）を含んでもよい。さらに、塗布具は、基部と結合された塗布パッド（２４）を含んでもよい。
