Package For Dispensing A Personal Care Product

A package for dispensing a liquid personal care product, the package comprising:

• a body for grasping with a user's hand, wherein the body comprises a horizontal plane defining a first cross-sectional shape;
• an applicator comprising an applicator base and a skin-contacting portion extending from the applicator base to a first height, wherein the skin-contacting portion comprises a horizontal plane defining a second cross-sectional shape;
• a dispensing conduit through which a liquid personal care product is dispensable from the body, wherein the dispensing conduit comprises a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end comprises an inlet that is in fluid communication with the body, wherein the distal end extends from the applicator base to a second height that is about half the first height;
• and
• a flow-restricting member at or near the distal end of the dispensing conduit, wherein the flow-restricting member comprises at least two opposing members, wherein the members converge into a closed state and diverge into an open state, wherein the members are biased to the closed state to inhibit water from entering the dispensing conduit, and wherein the members may be forced into the open state when a volume of liquid personal care product is communicated from the body through the dispensing conduit;
• wherein each of the first cross-sectional shape and the second cross-sectional shape comprises a major dimension oriented along a first axis and a minor dimension oriented along a second axis, and wherein the major dimensions are greater than the minor dimensions.
