Q. Why should I buy a BackScratcherWorld.com back

among the best back scratchers available anywhere. They are not the cheapest - our
signature hardwood models are 100% American hand built and of the highest quality; our
telescopic back scratchers are built offshore to our specifications. If you just
want a piece of nondescript plastic or bamboo junk, these are not your back
scratchers. If you want a high quality personal grooming tool that will last for
generations we have it.

Q. What is a Cast Scratcher?
A. Originally developed at the request of a orthopedics doctor, the
cast scratcher was designed to allow people with casts on to get down under and relieve
the itch. Save lots of pencils and wooden spoons!
Cast scratcher construction is similar to that of the back scratchers. They are,
however, 30% narrower, have a thinner handle and the majority of the scratcher edge is
removed to allow easy access into tight areas.
Our telescopic back scratchers can also do a good job as a cast scratcher.

Q. Is it "Back Scratcher" or
"Backscratcher"?
A. Hmmmmmmm. Good question. We try to use "Back
Scratcher" because a) it seems like it should be consistent with "Cast
Scratcher" which definitely seems to be two words and b) our official Scrabble®
dictionary did not allow "Backscratcher" as a valid word. And who are we
to argue with Merriam-Webster?? Two other more obscure names are
"scratch-back" and "magonote", the later being used primarily in
Japan.
