Review on Natural Bocote Wood Back Massager: Bamboo Therapeutic Back Scratchers for Itching Relief (17 inch) by Colleen Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does the job but could do better

This back comb isn't bad, but it has its drawbacks. The small scratching hand is too small. It needs to be wider, and their scraper "fingers" need to be longer, offering more than 90 degrees of range. To demonstrate what I mean, take a ruler and try scratching your back with it. Then you find that this back scraper is only marginally better as the scraper fingers only add about an inch past the 90 degree angle. The scraping end should be wider and have more depth. Also, a perfectly straight body requires holding the scraper higher and further back to get the job done, and it would be more efficient and convenient if the scraper were slightly curved. Older people or those with shoulder, elbow or wrist osteoarthritis will find it more difficult to use than one with a wider, deeper scratching post and a slightly curved handle like some claws.

Cons
  • Not bad, but...
