Best Manual Back Scratchers of 2025

"My husband loves this back scratcher! It's sturdier than I expected and comes with several heads. Definitely a good buy!"

"I really like this back scratcher. The multiple attachments feel great, and I appreciate how it extends to reach my entire back."

"I got this as a Christmas gift, and it works well! It does seem a bit cheap, but overall, it's a fun and functional tool."

"I had never seen these before until last week. My daughter's boyfriend had a similar one lying around, and I thought, what a neat little gadget! These back scratchers are so versatile and perfect for autistic kids. My grandson loves it and uses it everywhere—his head, face, neck, arms, and even his back. I had to stop him from using it inside his mouth, though! The pets were initially confused but fell in love with it quickly. It's also a lifesaver for anyone with shoulder issues who can't easily reach their backs."

"I've been giving back scratchers to my co-workers for the last three years, and I absolutely love these! They're heavier than others and less expensive. The six different colors help everyone keep track of their own. The size is slightly larger than what I've bought before, and the quality feels solid."

"I was pleasantly surprised by these back scratchers! I only expected one, but there were six sturdy scratchers in different colors. The telescoping feature is fantastic; even at its longest, it remains stable. The claw isn't sharp, so I can scratch hard without worry. My husband loves his black one, and I chose the pink one for myself. As senior citizens with stiff arms and itchy backs, these have been a game-changer for us!"

"I got exactly what I expected, and even better! They all work wonderfully, and the price is unbeatable. The telescoping rods are easy to store and very strong. I love how they help me scratch those hard-to-reach itches. Plus, they're designed differently for various scratching needs, and the grips are soft and comfortable."

"I've found these scratchers to be quite effective, even when I don't have an itch! The telescoping feature is super handy for those tricky spots on my back. After a previous one broke, I was hesitant, but I'm so glad I tried this new one!"

"These back scratchers are fantastic! I used to have a wooden one that broke, but these sturdy metal ones are much better. The ability to adjust their length makes storage easy, and they maneuver perfectly to scratch any itch. I'm planning to gift the extras for Christmas!"

"Due to my vision issues, I'm using Siri to write this. I remember winning back scratchers on the Ocean City boardwalk years ago and giving them to my grandma, who appreciated them. Now over 60, I understand their value. I found these scratchers through Alexa, and they work great—they're heavy-duty and effective. I even gave one to my brother. They’re also handy for picking up dropped items. Fantastic product at a great price!"

"I purchased the bamboo back scratcher before my shoulder surgery, anticipating that I wouldn't be able to reach any itches. I'm so glad I did! It's been a lifesaver during my recovery, especially in the winter with dry skin. It's sturdy and not flimsy, but be cautious—it can get a bit sharp if too much pressure is applied. Overall, this has been a great addition to my recovery."

"I used to think all back scratchers were the same. I learned that the length of the scratching teeth matters. I moved from a larger home to a smaller apartment and initially bought a cheap pack of cute metallic scratchers. They had shorter teeth, which made scratching less effective. That's when I found these. The longer teeth make scratching easy and effective. I do believe the best option is an extendable arm with long teeth, but these are a great value!"

"I find these scratchers to be incredibly useful and well-made. My only wish is that there were two velvet storage bags, one for each scratcher."

"I really love the design and ease of use. They extend easily to reach all parts of my back and are also great for my scalp. They're lightweight and portable, making them easy to carry around. I highly recommend them!"

"These scratchers work just as expected. They extend to reach my entire back and are not too sharp, so I don't worry about hurting my skin. Plus, my cats enjoy being groomed with them!"

“I recently bought a wooden back scratcher, and overall, it has been a great addition to my routine. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it feels sturdy and reliable in hand. It's incredibly effective at reaching those hard-to-scratch spots, providing much-needed relief. However, I do wish the scratching part was a bit sharper, as it stands, it's almost rounded.”

“I needed a new back scratcher after breaking my old one. While this one is not made quite as well as my previous one, it works well and has held up so far. I’m glad I made the purchase!”

“Not much to say! It really gets the spots I need! It's a great gift for dads and seems super durable and high quality.”

"This is THE back scratcher to end all back scratchers! The Cactus Scratcher is a game changer. The extendable handle is super convenient for reaching those hard-to-get spots. The double-sided design is fantastic—one side is gentle, and the other is more intense for stubborn itches. I highly recommend this to anyone tired of awkward, barely-scratched itches!"

"I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! I tried it first to ensure its quality, and he uses it every day. The extender feature makes it even better!"

"I find this product to be quite sturdy with a telescoping handle. While the scratcher head can sometimes shift a bit, it's no worse than other scratchers I've tried. Overall, I believe it's worth giving a shot!"

"I got this for my husband using my work perks. He suffers from super dry, itchy skin, and this telescoping back scratcher works like a charm with its dual sides that really help him reach those hard-to-scratch areas. When he was hospitalized, I brought it for him, and even the nurses were impressed. Highly recommend for everyone, especially the elderly or pregnant!"

"After trying many back scratchers, I can confidently say this one is far superior! The long handle allows me to reach my entire back, and the flat scratching head eliminates itchy spots effortlessly. I even donated my other scratchers since this one is all I need now!"

"This back scratcher is a game changer for me! I have sensitive skin, so the softer side is perfect, while my husband prefers the harder scratch. It's easy to switch out the tops and has excellent reach. I love the color too, and it feels very solid."

"I love these back scratchers! The four pack includes a rake, a skeleton hand, and two bear paws, all of which are adorable. They're easy to grip, and my family and I are enjoying them. At just $6.99, it's a fantastic deal!"

"I bought this set for my family to help with those hard-to-reach itches in winter. Everyone has their own scratcher now, and they work perfectly! The variety in designs makes them fun to use. A great purchase overall!"

"Initially, I was hesitant about these metal scratchers, thinking they might be sharp. However, they turned out to be gentle and effective. They extend easily and are lightweight enough to travel with. I'm very impressed!"
