What do you do when your back is itching? Do you..  

I use the corner of the wall and move back and forth on it to scratch my entire back. It usually gets the itchy spot too! Works almost as well as having a friend do it!

LOL..just couldn't help laughing on visualising the whole act.
it annoys me to hell and having trying all methods (like try and reach my hands and nails, use a stick, or a pencil..), i would ultimately go to my mom to do the scratching act. but then, that is when i am lucky being at home. just imagine, having it on public place without any restrooms nearby. i think, i couldn't have escaped the uncivilised act!!

Well, usually, I try to reach the itch with my hand. If it is too far to reach, I usually end up giving myself a cramp in my shoulder, which hurts like crazy and takes a while to rub out. You would think I would learn my lesson, but I still try to reach the itches if I think I might be able to. Once in a while, if I know I can't get to that spot, I will ask someone for help! LoL Usually they are more than willing to help. That reminds me--have you seen The Prince and Me II: The Royal Wedding? There is a part in there where the fiance gets a gift from her arch rival and she had put itching powder in the dress. The gal tried to use the hand of a statue to itch her back and she ended up knocking over the statue into the wedding shower cake and splattered cake all over her guests. It was funny! I laughed!

Hi, well when my back is itchy I have a back scratcher which is great and can get to spots which I cannot reach so since my husband bought this for me it saves my arms from stretching around trying to itch or asking someone else to do this for me.

It depends which area of my back is itching but usually I can reach with my hand. You don't need to just reach over your shoulder to touch your back after all, you can put your whole arm up behind you and then reach upwards with the back of your hand and use your fingers to get that itch.
Try it out.Stretch your right arm up and reach down over the same shoulder,then take your left arm,put it behind yout waist and reach up,you should be able to just touch the tips of your right fingers with your left fingers. So you have access to your whole back. If you are very flexible you may be able to link the fingers.

Scream out in frustration that's what I do, especially if I can't reach the irritable itch! That's why I dread getting my back burnt in the sun, it's not the burning sensation I can cool that down or live with it, but it's when it starts to peel, remember Baloo in The Jungle Book? He dug up a tree and using it as a scratching post lol! I usually find something to lean against then I rub my back up and down.

I do a couple things for an itchy back.

First I do what the bears do. I will find a sturdy verticle surface that is either rough of sharp corner such as a brick wall. And I will put the itchy part of the back against this and move up and down and twist from side to side. This works well.

I also will use a door jam the same way.

If you can sit in a chair that has a ruogh fabric on the back, you can sometimes work yourself around so that you can scratch your back this way too.

Happy scratching.

use hand or rub against the wall

I rub my back against the doorpost. This works pretty good and does not hurt as it is wood.

Yes me too.I also use the corner of the walls to solve the problem of itching.
