The application pertains to a system (10) for applying a fluid, comprising a packet (12) containing a fluid, the packet comprising first and second opposing packet sides (38) defining therebetween a sealed space (40) containing the fluid； a frangible area configured to rupture upon compressing the packet to release the fluid from the packet； and a collapsibility feature enabling the first packet side of the packet to invert from a convex position to a concave position upon compressing the packet so that the formerly sealed space is substantially completely collapsed； and an applicator device (14) comprising: a handle (16) having a proximal end and a distal end, the handle comprising a receptacle (18) at the proximal end of the handle, the receptacle configured to receive the packet of the fluid and facilitate expulsion of the fluid from the packet； a base (22) disposed at the distal end of the handle and configured to direct flow of the released fluid and including a distal opening； and an applicator pad (26) configured to be coupled to the base, in fluid communication with an interior portion of the receptacle via the distal opening of the base.
