1. A portable fluid dispensing device for mounting upon a human hand comprising: a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user, the pocket partitioning the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion, wherein the rear portion includes a fluid reservoir for holding a fluid that is to be dispensed; the rear portion including a first layer and a second layer that are fluidly sealed to one another at select locations such that the fluid reservoir is formed between the first and second layers, wherein the second layer has a plurality of open peripheral notches formed along a peripheral edge thereof so as to provide direct access points between the first layer and a third layer that defines the front portion, wherein the first and third layers are directly attached to one another at locations that lie within the peripheral notches of the second layer; andat least one fluid dispensing outlet that is in selective fluid communication with the fluid reservoir for selectively dispensing the fluid through the at least one fluid dispensing outlet. 2. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, further comprising: a fluid dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed. 3. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the second layer is a separate layer from the first layer and further defines one layer and one face of the pocket. 4. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the peripheral notches are formed along first and second opposing sides of the second layer and along a top edge of the second layer, while a bottom edge of the second layer is free of peripheral notches. 5. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein a peak portion is formed between adjacent notches. 6. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 5, wherein an outer edge of each peak portion is at least substantially aligned with a peripheral edge of the first layer and the third layer when the first, second and third layers are attached. 7. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the second layer is free of direct attachment to the third layer but instead is directly attached to the first layer which is directly attached to both the second layer and the third layer. 8. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein an inner face of the first layer carries an adhesive that is placed in contact with an outer face of the third layer as a result of the peripheral notches providing access points between the first and third layers. 9. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein, the first and third layers are directly attached to one another by a plurality of heat seals formed between the first and third layers within the peripheral notches of the second layer. 10. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 5, wherein the peak portions are free of attachment to both the first layer and the third layer. 11. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 2, wherein the fluid dispensing mechanism comprises a hand operated pump that draws fluid from the fluid reservoir and delivers the fluid to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet, the pump including an inlet that is in selective communication with the fluid reservoir and a dispensing tube that is in selective communication with the at least one fluid dispensing outlet, wherein a distal end of the dispensing tube is in fluid communication with a deflector that is configured to direct fluid toward the front portion. 12. A method for manufacturing a portable fluid dispensing device that comprises a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user, the pocket partitioning the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion, the method comprising the steps of: superimposing a first layer and a second layer of the rear portion, wherein the second layer includes a plurality of openings formed according to a selected pattern;selectively bonding the first layer to the second layer so as to form a fluid reservoir defined therebetween, the fluid reservoir being defined internal to the plurality of openings formed in the second layer;superimposing a third layer, that comprises the front portion, onto the second layer that is bonded to the first layer, whereby the first layer is exposed to the third layer through the plurality of openings formed in the second layer;selectively bonding the third layer to the first layer at locations that lie within the plurality of openings formed in the second layer to form a joined three-ply structure;cutting the joined three-ply structure to have a desired shape; andincorporating a fluid dispensing mechanism into the cut three-ply structure, the fluid dispensing mechanism being in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the second layer is a separate layer from the first layer and further defines one layer and one face of the pocket, with the third layer defining the other face of the pocket. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein each opening has an oval shape and the selected pattern comprises a U-shape. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of cutting the joined three-ply structure comprises cutting through the plurality of openings so as to define peripheral notches along first and second opposing sides of the second layer and along a top edge of the second layer, while a bottom edge of the second layer is free of peripheral notches. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein a peak portion is formed between adjacent notches. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the second layer is free of direct attachment to the third layer but instead is directly attached to the first layer which is directly attached to both the second layer and the third layer. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the step of selectively bonding the first layer to the second layer comprises the step of melting an adhesive that is disposed along an inner face of the first layer and the step of selectively bonding the third layer to the first layer comprises the step of melting the adhesive of the first layer at locations that lie within the plurality of openings to form the joined three-ply structure. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the peak portions are free of attachment to both the first layer and the third layer. 20. The method of claim 12, herein the fluid dispensing mechanism comprises a hand operated pump that draws fluid from the fluid reservoir and delivers the fluid to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet, the pump including an inlet that is in selective communication with the fluid reservoir and a dispensing tube that is in selective communication with the at least one fluid dispensing outlet. 21. The method of claim 12, wherein the first layer comprises a first sheet of material, the second layer comprises a second sheet of material and the third layer comprises a third sheet of material, wherein the step of cutting the jointed three-ply structure comprises a die cutting process. 22. The method of claim 12, wherein the first and second layers are formed from a single blank that has a fold line about which the single blank is folded to define the first and second layers to permit superimposition of the first and second layers prior to selectively bonding the first layer to the second layer.
