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

    Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.

    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.

    Bend the arm the ouchholyfuckalmostreach way. Scrub. Then bend the arm the owfuckalmostjesuschrist way. Scrub again. Easy!

    I mean, I assume the water running down my body when I shower is good enough? Can’t imagine my back of all places getting so dirty that I need to scrub it.

    I’m surprised how few answers actually include actually practical and helpful tools such as a bathing brush with a good long grip to reach just about everywhere. Is this a cultural thing? I swear I’ve seen them in British tv series at the very least, so I know for sure these are a common thing at least in the Nordics and the UK.

    But I mean it’s the best. Really gets the old dead skin cells and other stuff off, and the blood flowing. The bristles are a bit rough, but that just makes it that much more pleasurable, you really feel it!

    Edit:

    These things, surely they are mostly everywhere?

    I got one of these things

    Works pretty good and you can put some force down and really get that back nice and clean.

    I don’t. The mind-controlling alien parasite attached to my spine doesn’t let me when I try reaching for it…

    Long ago I planted a colony of sentient microbes there, and bade them subdue the area and keep it free of vermin. They have tamed the wilderness and established a sophisticated, well ordered civilization. Although recently I have been feeling a lot warmer.

    I put liquid soap in the palm of my left hand. Turn one the water and put my right hand under, then let water roll off into my left hand. Turn off the water. Wash hands without wasting water. Turn it on to rinse.

    There’s a guy at my office who would let the water run for the entire five minutes that he brushed his teeth after lunch. I got so sick of it that I printed a sign and taped it to the wall. It said not to waste water and to turn it off while brushing. I haven’t seen him doing it since, but I also haven’t seen him at all since. I hope he saw it before someone took it down.

    Edit: misread the title.
