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
My hands.
I suspect at some point I’ll switch to a brush with a handle.
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 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 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 long arms and an exfoliating luffa. I just wash every part. There’s no part of my back that I can’t reach.

Only the Salux brand though. I’ve gotten knock off ones that were way too smooth.
I get my partner to do it for me!
I rub my bar of soap on it and then wash it off. Do you not?
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.
With someone else’s front?
My arms are pretty flexible so I just use my hands & a washcloth.
I always wash my back very happily and with a good amount of water.
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).
Bend the arm the ouchholyfuckalmostreach way. Scrub. Then bend the arm the owfuckalmostjesuschrist way. Scrub again. Easy!
