Bathing

I don't bathe. I do however, shower every day and use a back brush.

I have one of those scrunchie net things, attached to a long wooden handle.

Give me a while, the question takes some thinking about 🤷‍♀️

Long handled brush or one with a loofah on it ? tbh I just use one of the puffa things and reach over and around and turn around so that shower jets on it , I doubt my back gets that dirty

Get someone else to do it?

I don't have baths bit shower every day and use a scrunch thing

I don't bathe either but shower daily I have sisal soap bags and they really are nice and scrubby on the skin and make the soap really foamy. I use a long handle brush for the bits I cant reach.

I have not had a bath for around 12 years. I have a daily shower and my arms and shoulders are flexible still, so I do not need a long-handled brush.

I just lie in the bath and let the soapy water wash it clean.

Why do threads like this always attract posts from people informing us that they never bath, only ever have showers. Nothing wrong with that, lots of people prefer showers and good for them, but utterly irrelevant to the thread.

I haven't had a bath for many years either but I shower daily (of course !! 😊😊) and I use my flannel holding opposite corners so that I can do the whole of my back.

I don't. DH does

I have baths and showers. I use a long handled brush. Works fine.

A long handled brush with bristles. I find the padded ones tend to absorb the soap before it can be used for washing. You can also buy loofah things which stretch out.

Then either a shower attachment or a cup/bowl/bucket of water if you're in a bath to aim over your shoulder.

I have a wooden brush with bristles, also I shampoo my hair in the bath so it gets lathered.

Also my bath kit includes a fitted hand held shower head with a thermostat, so I can rinse thoroughly.

I have long wooden handled brush, I also use it to clean my feet.

Ok Monica I haven’t had a bath in about 40 years when I first had a house with a shower 🤣(just for you) and I also don’t need a long handled thingy I can reach up and down and wash my hair each day while in the shower so get well clean every morning
I find this a very strange question though 🙄

I don't actively wash my back in bath or shower, just assume it gets enough washing from the shampoo and rinsing water running over it. I sort of assumed most people did the same, and am slightly surprised to hear that's not so. My back doesn't seem to be dirty or itchy or greasy

By holding the opposite corners of a large facecloth and scrubbing away.

I never wash my back! I've always assumed that the hot water from the shower was enough. I've never observed the 'rituals' that some other Gransneters observe. My back is smooth and soft. Why scrub skin, depriving it of its own natural oils?

Interesting first post !!!!!

Perhaps the OP finds it hard to reach her back and is looking her tips.

I use a widows friend , knitted sisal with rope handles bought from the bathroom department of that Swedish superstore. I love a good scrub.

I would love to have a bath again, but I have to shower o/w I struggle to get out of the extra deep bath I had put in decades ago, as I loved my bath. At 80 next year these little “things are sent to try us” ! 🛁
