The applicator body includes a foam element support platform having first and second sides. A foam element engaging surface is provided on the first side of the foam element support platform. A foam element retaining wall is disposed at a peripheral edge of the foam element engaging surface. The foam element has a first side supported on the foam element engaging surface, a second side opposite the first side, and a peripheral edge at least partially enclosed by the retaining wall. A fabric mounting surface is disposed outside the retaining wall. The fabric cover is arranged on the second side of the foam element and is peripherally bonded to the fabric mounting surface. A fluid port provides fluid communication between the first side and second sides of the foam element support platform.
