I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
Backscratcher! My mom bought me a cheap one as a silly stocking stuffer one Xmas, I thought it was funny, then I started using it. I have since upgraded to a solid bamboo one that I keep by my bed, it’s amazing.
As someone that wears a bra I can’t imagine life without one tbh. What do people do without them? Just accept the itching?? Rub their back along walls and furniture like a bear?
You joke, but my husband does this all the time.
Can’t feel back itch when feeling back pain
I can’t always find mine, and yes. When it happens and the scratcher is nowhere to be found I have three options:
Pointlessly, and furiously try to scratch it myself, fail and just accept my suffering.
Find something significantly textured or sharp(ish) to stand in for the scratcher, like a rope or the corner of a wall, or a doorway or something, then rub my back on it like a crazed bear.
Ask for help… I mean, if anyone is around at all…
I’ve taken to supplementing my main back scratcher with a few cheap ones that are strategically placed around in case of emergencies since my “good” one keeps going missing on me… I used to have a stable place to keep it, not so much, since I’ve recently moved… Now I’ll find it behind the couch or on the floor under a random table. I need to get a good, steady location to keep it, so I know where it is at all times.
this thing has given me full independence. no more begging for back scratches.
The Cactus Back Scratcher on Amazon is THE BEST.
