Two-handed Back Scrubbers

There are times when a bath is just a bath. It's about getting all lathered up and all clean. Still, the leaning back and letting your mind drift away for a little while needs to stay a high priority. Need to serve that Inner Princess, you know. But then it's down to business.

An exfoliating back scrubber makes the job of getting your lateral side well tended to, and the additional benefit of giving yourself a mini massage at the same time. For years I've been using a towel to dry my back by grasping either of the long ends and pulling it back and forth. With a back scrubber, I can do the same thing with bath gel and water.

For some reason, using a back scrubber reminds me of the olden days. No, not my olden days -- I mean the times back when our grandparents and a generation or so before that used to have their own bath rituals. Of course theirs were out of necessity because they didn't have access to the comfortable style of bathroom and running water we do. I do have the image in my mind of a lovely old Victorian-era couple taking their weekend bath and washing their backs whenever I use this kind of product, which is probably not very princessy, but it happens anyway.

Made of linen, the Aquis Exfoliating Back Scrubber is a full 30 inches long with a smooth rope handle at either end, making it easy to pull back and forth. Cost efficient, this scrubber is machine washable.

Just as fashionable as a belt for a summery dress, go for the 100% Natural Hemp Backscrubber. It's sturdy handles and earth-friendly fiber help you give your back a good work-over. It's made in the USA -- always a good thing -- and can be washed up easily with soap and water.

Combine the best features of two bath accessories in the Swissco Loofah and Terry Back Scrubber. One side is made of natural loofah sponge to exfoliate skin cells. Then, flip the wide belt-like scrubber over and massage your back with the soft, terry cloth.
