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 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’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?

      My wife has one, I don’t like to use it, it’s too aggressive for me.

      I can reach my back with my arms. To get the spot right between my shoulders I have to reach up and come down from the top with one arm, while using my other hand to grab my elbow and pull it to push my hand low enough to get it more effectively.

    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.

    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.
