A back scratcher. Got a pack of 4 for a few bucks after one I was gifted broke. I'm old and have one quite arthritic shoulder, so half of my own back is unreachable. It's especially shitful getting an itchy back at night, but now I don't need to get up to relieve it. I use it every day, and every day I bless the person who first gifted me one.

My grandfather had this thing called the bear claw! It was basically a strip of pointy plastic tines and it fit over an out-facing wall corner.

I found myself with a back scratcher in every room as I got older until I learned that the reason my back is constantly itchy is because my fine back hair.

I bought this thing called The Man Groomer which is basically an extendable back shaver, and now I don't use back scratchers anymore... Honestly a humongous relief from needing to scratch my back like 75 times a day. Now I need to scratch it zero times.

What do you use to wash your back? I have a brush but it keeps slipping out of my hand.

These are my solution, I have bad shoulders... I get them at the dollar store.

Decent size cloth so I can hold two corners and basically use it as if I was towelling dry.
