It’s All in Reach

This personal back scratcher cleverly solves the problem of the hard-to-reach back itch. Made with two-foot nylon straps and power grip ball handles, the Cactus Scratcher lets you reach every corner of your back without stretching and straining. Simply hold it behind your back, with one strap in each hand, and run it along that pesky itch. Voila… relief. Each side has a different kind of spikes: wider for more gentle scratching, and pointier for a more aggressive approach. The Cactus Scratcher is compact, too, making it easy to travel with and store. Founder Jedd Olsen had a bunch of back scratchers around his house that he didn’t like. Then one night, he got inspiration in a dream: he pictured himself rubbing up against a prickly pear cactus to scratch an itch. Not long after, the Cactus Scratcher was born. No more asking a friend or your significant other for help—scratching that itch has never been easier.
