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
Right hand goes high, left hand goes low, then you criss cross apple sauce
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
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.
For a good long while I just contorted, but I have some mobility/flexibility issues after a shoulder injury and got a long handled brush, and they’re so much easier.
My back doesn’t get dirty
Keep yer feet on the ground
Wash yer back!
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 joints are over flexible, so i can reach everything just fine.
Some arms flexibility would come a long way.
As best I can.
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.
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.
The only effective way is to find a spouse or partner who actually cares about you.
(now single) Old fart here.
