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

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: โ€”)

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.
