Inb4 I don’t
I’m not asking if you do it, I’m asking people how you do it
Edit: sorry I forgot I posted this and came back to a bunch of answers. I have a torn something in my shoulder that no MRI has been able to find for 20 years so I can’t just reach it. I myself use a long cloth, but I don’t really like it so I was curious what other people did.
Also, I don’t wash my back every shower, but I do get pretty sweaty sometimes and feel like I just have to
Get a back and shoulder loofah and call it a day (not endorsing this one, just using it as an example of what I’m talking about).
Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.
Part of your back isn’t scrubbed.
Guess I’ll die then?
Eventually, yes.
Works for me. Nobody screamed at me for smelling at this spot yet.
This is the one case where I think the trickledown effect works like a charm
I got long arms and an exfoliating luffa. I just wash every part. There’s no part of my back that I can’t reach.
My hands.
I suspect at some point I’ll switch to a brush with a handle.
That’s not even a loofah
I can’t explain the marketing, they call all these things loofahs. Just a normal sponge at the end of mine lol. Mostly just get something on a stick and enjoy the same smug cleanliness.
Get a fairly stiff brush, it feels really good, like scratching an itch that you couldn’t reach :)
Might be a regional thing. Where I’m from, that is indeed a loofah. Synthetic, yes, but still called a loofah.
I bet that the number of people that think this is biodegradable because it’s a loofah is > 0
I don’t. The mind-controlling alien parasite attached to my spine doesn’t let me when I try reaching for it…
You gotta take your time getting them used to it, a little splash here and there and then build up untill you can be in the shower for a good amount of time, mine loves it now.
Hi Londo. Hows Centauri Prime these days?
I’ll be honest… Not very well. Pretty much squeeze my loofa at the top of my back so the suds run down, then rinse. No backne or any other issues though
A belt-like loofa that you hold on both ends and pull from side to side.
Set the showerhead to “Power Blast” and hope and pray.
I use a scrubbing brush with a long handle.
I just reach back there. I have these crazy things on my arm called “elbows”.
I have a small hammer I use, to lightly chip away at the wall tiles to provide both exfoliation, a back scratcher, and acupuncture all in one.
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not
You can never be too serious about skincare.
I got one of these things
Works pretty good and you can put some force down and really get that back nice and clean.
Whats it made of, and how do you clean it?
It’s made of silicone so it’s quite easy to clean.
Ah like my handso. I might buy one, thank you
I use my hands to wash my back. You?
Same - I can reach all parts. If I couldn’t, I’d grab a something on a stick.
Same here. Guess OP is not that flexible.
I have one bad shoulder
I dunno. I used to be flexible as hell, but was also too damn broad across the shoulders to get everywhere. That was even before I started lifting seriously; lifting just made the area I couldn’t reach bigger.
Somewhere around 16 I hit a spurt and suddenly couldn’t reach a zone between my shoulder blades. It was maybe hand sized. In my twenties, it was about an inch or two bigger, but I could still do all the stretches fully before lifting, and that included shoulder stretches where I could end up almost flat with my arms behind me.
Nowadays, I’m just old and stiff, and can’t scrub anything right on my back.
I have a body wash/soap towel that’s long enough to go around my back.
