Well, I come from a Hindu Brahmin family. We Brahmins are supposed to wear a thread across our neck, down the chest and ribs. So, I use the thread to scratch my back. :)

You're welcome. It's a sacred thread ceremony that is conducted and we are initiated into a mantra. You can search for lots of pictures on the web to know how brahmin priests look like.:)

LOL ya know there actually isnt a part of my back that I can't reach :-D Maybe its because I have long arms or becuase I'm really bendable and able to twist oddly LOL I dunno what the reason but if I have an itch on my back, I can reach it :-)

Hi peanutjar! If I have a really bad scratch, but I can't reach it I always get my hubby to scratch it for me. He does the same and gets me to scratch the itches he can't reach! Have a great day! Love & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

I f my husband is home,I will ask him to scratch my back. If I am home alone I will either use the back scratcher or the wall. Just depends on what part of the house I am in.

I started a discussion like this and no one answered. I guess you do it better peanutjar. : ) I get someone else to scratch it if I cant but I made a discovery. The cap to my shave gel from the shower...itches so good.

Haha yeah you should try something new. It depends on your medium though. Back scratchers dont scratch hard enough for me.

We have a back-scratcher here, but I seldom use it since I can't find it when I need it!;) I would sometimes ask someone, a friend or a family member to scratch my back, that is if it won't cost them that much time!LoL But my favorite are the edgy parts of our house, they are easy to scratch at and they don't complain no matter how long I use them!;)

Upto me i will use a lengthy cotton towel or a cotton cloth bit to scratch. In our southindia those much elderly men and women due to their physical inability ask for somebody to scratch their back with combs what we use to regularise ourhair styles.

Hi copperkitten.They do come in handy sometimes(hubbys)hehehe.My daughter loves scratching backs,sometimes she becomes too scratchy,haha. Peanutjar:)

Good question! If I'm alone and need to scratch my back, I'll try to contort myself to where I can at least get one nail to the spot of the problem, LOL. If that doesn't work, I get my cane (I seldom have to use it anymore) and try to reach it from there. And the cane does usually reach the spot, but it doesn't have the sharpness to scracth the itch away. So, if all else fails, I lay on the floor and try to get my dog to walk on my back and dig where the itch persists. : )
