  • the applicator 3 does not have to be completely fixed on the container 2 so that the user can engage sufficiently tight the first applicator element 46 in the nozzle 101 to suck the product.
  • the user can, once the applicator 3 separated from the container, press the flexible wall 106 so as to cause the product to exit the first applicator element 46 and deposit it on the second applicator element 48 and then proceed applying the product with the second application element 48.
  • the user can deposit it directly on the region to be treated, by compressing the second application element 48 to bring the end of the first application element 46 in contact with the treated region, then pressing the flexible wall 106 to cause the expulsion of the product on the treated region.
  • the different embodiments can be combined with each other and, for example, the second applicator element 48 may be attached to the applicator 3, in particular with teeth 68 as illustrated in FIG. 20.
  • the first application element and the upper part of the container can be made even differently, depending for example on the nature of the product and the region to be treated.
  • the upper and lower parts of the container can be made in one piece or by assembling several parts.
  • the first applicator element 46 may also be carried on the receptacle 2, as illustrated in FIG. 21, the applicator 3 having in this case only the second applicator element 48.
