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
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
Lather up my partners front and get them to slide up and down on my back. Then it’s my turn!
Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.
Part of your back isn’t scrubbed.
Works for me. Nobody screamed at me for smelling at this spot yet.
Guess I’ll die then?
Eventually, yes.
This is the one case where I think the trickledown effect works like a charm
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’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
Right hand goes high, left hand goes low, then you criss cross apple sauce
Keep yer feet on the ground
I try to reach from different directions:
- upper left (using my left hand)
- upper right (using my right hand)
- lower left (using my left hand)
- and lower right (using my right hand).
For the regions I missed, I have a soapy mesh/loofah thing held by some kind of rope on both ends and with both hands, I use it to reach the unreachable areas:
- left hand upper and right hand lower, loofah going diagonally (like this:
\
) - right hand upper and left hand lower, loofah going diagonally (like this:
/
) - both hands lower, loofah going horizontal (like this:
—
)
I suppose that should be enough, but I only do that once a week. For the rest of the week, I just reach as far as I can and let the soapy water do what it can.
My back doesn’t get dirty
Big ol’ brush.
I also have long scrubby things. Don’t know what they’re made of, but I think nylon. Basically really long washcloths with a rough texture and strings to hold onto while scrubbing. But the brush does a better job, so I usually only use the cloth ones when I’m away from home because they pack easier.
That’s assuming I can’t con my wife into getting soaked just to stand there scrubbing me down for a half hour while I continually say “yah, right there, a little harder. Now to the left, oh yeah, that’s great, a little more. Now up some, fucking perfect, you’re awesome. Now down a little again” and so on until she throws the scrubber at me.
Like the rest of my body, I use a loofah. I have enough mobility to get to my entire back from one arm.
With a shower just get what I can and hope the spray and soap gets whats left good enough. Sometimes will use a wash rag and I can just barely grasp the corners and get it a bit but not sure its much more vigorous than the spray. With a bath I place the luffa between my back and the back of the tub and move around. That actually should get it pretty good.
Some arms flexibility would come a long way.
Soap the washcloth, hold opposite corners diagonally for what I can’t reach, occasionally use a brush for extra measure.
I got a prehensile penis.
